Talk:Dictionaries
From Apache OpenOffice Wiki
This page really needs instructions on how to install these dictionaries, or a link to such a page.
What is the point of these dictionaries?
- Language is a propery of characters. Also, there's a global document language in the options dialog.
I've installed OOo 2.0.3 under Windows and then used File->Wizard->Install New Dictionaries
Installation went OK to the finish, but speclchecker can't see any language. Quite a bad experience as for people like me who like open source and free software.
Best regards, user Vak.

Hi. I'm dying to know two things:
- What dictionaries are being used in OOo (e.g., aspell)?
- If I see a spelling error in the dictionary, how can I report it?
I'd add both these to this article if I knew. Thanks.Mwtoews 04:35, 26 November 2006 (CET)
- I've added another link the the lingucomponent homepage that described the formats (MySpell/Hunspell)
- Report errors to the creator of the dictionary, to be found in the README.
