That much is clear, yes. I was apparently not as specific as I needed to be. My point was that one of these 'special' dictionaries would be as much work or more work than a non-specialized dictionary. It would not be enough to merely speak a language, own a dictionary, and understand munch and umunch. These dictionaries would require a knowledge of the area - let's say medicine - I don't understand the first thing about medicine or medical terms. Which are common among professionals? Which is the preferred spelling of the word? One more thing, these dictionaries would have to be created from scratch. However far away from Aspell the normal dictionaries are today, OOo had a base to begin from. This is a very huge project.
