I tried to install an en-GB-oxendict spell-checker. I packaged it into an oxt archive and specified "en-GB-oxendict" as locale. I also tried "en-GB-oed". It doesn't work. The spell-checker is not recognized. But the entry "English, OED spelling (UK)" does appear by default in the LibreOffice language options, so at some point this locale was supported. I think a new file may be needed here: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/i18npool/source/localedata/data en_GB-oxendict.xml and probably some changes in the source code...
Dear Reporter, Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ? I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version.
@Xisco Fauli I am not the reporter, but I see no change in behaviour with the latest LO version 5.3.0.3. So this bug still exists. And I confirm it. I suspect that what may be required is an en-gb-oed locale definition, or some such, to support the use of the dictionary. I don't think one has ever been included in either OO or LO. This bug applies to earlier LO releases - certainly back to 4.4. I think that the reason that the entry "English, OED spelling (UK)" appears in the LibreOffice language options is due to the introduction of support for "language variants" at some time in the past. But it would seem that this is not sufficient to make the dictionary operable.
Ok, then let's move it to NEW since you confirmed it. Thanks
I have requested that locale data be added on the (unverified) assumption that this will solve the problem. See Bug 106480.

Could you attach the .oxt archive file to this bug?
Or only the contained dictionaries.xcu would be sufficient.
I just tried using LibreOffice 5.3.1 and gave an extension dictionary a dictionaries.xcu with <value>en-GB-oed</value> for the Locales property and installed that, it was recognized fine and "English, OED spelling (UK)" was marked as spell-checker available. Giving <value>en-GB-oxendict</value> instead, an additional entry "en-GB-oxendict" is added to the available Hunspell SpellChecker under Tools-Options-LanguageSettings-WritingAids. To use, changing the language for text one has to enter en-GB-oxendict once in the language combobox edit field, from then on it is available. We'll probably need a mechanism that dictionary provided language tags are automatically added to that list. Though in this case both, en-GB-oxendict and en-GB-oed, are internally known and maybe could be treated as aliases for UI purposes.

I would have said 'definitely' in place of 'maybe': https://www.iana.org/assignments/lang-subtags-templates/oxendict.txt https://www.iana.org/assignments/lang-subtags-templates/en-GB-oed.txt
'maybe' in terms of program logic.
Taking.
