Description: Now the Dicktionary lacks many words especially technical and regional. Please consider the following the following. 1. Add to dictionary should allow selection of technical/standard user defined dictionary. 2. Also give some provisions to add the word to general default dictionary. Uploaded from LibreOffice with some web link and/or description which validate the word. which should be verified by the LibreOffice development team and added to the default dictionary. 3. If possible allow addition of meaning also. 4. This can be done for different languages. Also. 5. Can Invoke user support. So with the support of numerous users, Great Dictionaries can be made. Actual Results: 1. No provision for selecting technical or standard, while adding a word to user defined dictionary. or any other dictionary. 2. No provision for the user to enrich the default LO dictionary. Also give some provisions to add the word to general default dictionary. Uploaded from LibreOffice with some web link and/or description which validate the word. which should be verified by the LibreOffice development team and added to the default dictionary. 3. If possible allow addition of meaning also. 4. This can be done for different languages. Also. 5. Can Invoke user support. So with the support of numerous users, Great Dictionaries can be made. Expected Results: Provision to add word to the desired user defined dictionary. Recommend it to the default LO dictionary. Enhanced user participation in enriching dictionary. Reporting bug directly from Libreoffice. All parameters like LO version , OS, etc should be automatically derived from the installed LO. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info:
Interesting idea... Assume it would require curl for submission. Not clear what architecture would be needed on the back end to accommodate incoming "contributions" for bundling by locale/language into collaborative dictionaries for delivery upstream to HunSpell and LightProof projects.
Giving patches to the recent dictionaries it's not a bad approach. For example, see Google's dictionary extensions: https://blog.chromium.org/2009/02/spell-check-dictionary-improvements.html https://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/deps/third_party/hunspell_dictionaries/ Dictionary extension is not an easy task. Scientific or special dictionaries are often mutually exclusive to the standard vocabulary. Fortunately, now it's possible to set this behavior in LibreOffice, too, using custom dictionaries, ie. to add (default or default) extra word lists to LibreOffice with affixation and compounding: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/6.0#.E2.80.9CGrammar_By.E2.80.9D_spell_checking Giving a readable dictionary title to the shipped custom dictionaries: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=c8fbce439db78dd85295833df494a651bd64dcd4 For example, non-default custom Hungarian dictionary with affixation and a readable dictionary title, shipped with the Hungarian LibreOffice distribution: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=6247c966942a0e43320a234302a67c1f92c2eea7
Agreeing wit László that our user dictionaries covers special vocabulary. Otherwise it would be out of scope for an office suite to improve the dictionaries, IMHO.
