Marcin Miłkowski, lead of Polish language project, has been reported, that for
Polish need similar treatment of dashes:
"we have several classes of words with dashes:
1. like "kogel-mogel", in which both parts are inflected (genitive case,
singular: kogla-mogla, for example);
2. like "e-mail", in which only the second part is inflected ("e-maila");
3. like "tse-tse" or "kong-fu" where both parts are not inflected.
In all three cases, both parts are not valid words, so it's a spelling
mistake to write "kogel mogel" or "kung fu". In myspell, ispell and
aspell we couldn't find way to define this special dash-behavior.
Plus there is one special case: inflection of acronyms with dashes,
correct plural of SMS in Polish is SMS-y, not SMSy (we haven't defined
it yet, as well). By the way, we have a complex rules of inflection of
foreign words ending with mute vowels and -y, like Kennedy in genetive
is Kennedy’ego. Seems to me that we'd have to switch to UTF-8 because
the proper version of the apostrophe used for this inflection is not
covered in ISO-8859-2 (it is, however, included in windows-1250)."
It seems, it's a general problem, when we want better spell checking.
Polish and Hungarian (Finnish and probably several other languages) use dashes
to join a lot of different affixes to acronyms or foreign stems, and we
don't want to add these affixes to the dictionary as rigth words.
(English too: America-like, see http://www.bartleby.com/64/84.html,
but it has much fewer and simpler affixes).
That is why we need handle dashes by spell checker. Hungarian is ok. in
OpenOffice.org, but it would be fine to give a simple way to add dashes
and n-dashes optionally to words in breakiterators of other languages.
