Re: [lingu-dev] Creating a new dictionary, Encoding problem

[Etienne de Boissezon]

Hello Nope. MySpell don't support UTF8. I made a macro to use some african language (moore, jula...) that converts on the fly some unused iso8859 cars to the used UTF8 cars, with an interface for the spellchecker. So if you want you can download it (http://www.abcburkina.net/ then click "sedelan"), use your dic files translated, modify a little bit my macro (convert strings) and use it! By the way I'd be glad if some kickass developpers can help me improve the interface (scrolling through the text and others things I can't manage easily for now) bye Michel Weimerskirch a écrit : Hi maybe you could try with UTF8. I would say that these characters are also in UTF8, though I do not know if MySpell supports it...

The alphbabets for this language are A-Z and some characters from this character set ISO-6438: http://anubis.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/open/02n3129.pdf ie. A-Z plus the characters in the pdf file makes the complete character set for encoding most (if not all) african written languages. The problem i'm facing is that iso-6438 isn't support by myspell or openoffice. my question is: how do i go about to get iso-6438 support in open office and myspell.
