Ok. Let's clarify this because I'm going crazy here. Of course, they are "mostly" the same. But, for instance, affixes are not the same for all localizations, first of all because of variations on verb conjugations. I used a 'grammatical' approach, generating the affix files. And word lists are classified by country and part of speech. All this work (on which I spent almost three years of free-time) had two objectives: 1) to have a LGPL'ed Spanish dictionary, that could ship with localised OO.org installers, and 2) simplify the burden of generating a (future) dictionary for grammar checking. Now, if you remember (or search the archives), I have posted these questions on what was the best approach: an all-in-one dictionary, localised dictionaries, a common dictionary and localised-differences dictionary, etc., but there was no consense on this matter. So, I ask again: ¿what is the best approach? >From a user point of view, IMHO the best approach is this, of a single dictionary and affix file per localization. Or in the worst case, the all-in-one dictionary as it is done now, that es_ES is installed for all Spanish localizations. Unless DicOO could handle to download and install multiple files with the same localization code (does it?), a common (base) dictionary and a localization-differences dictionary approach can't be taken. Because penalizes the user, who will be obligated to do a manual install, after downloading two different packages. Laurent: I politely ask that you don't make any changes by now, and that we resolve first this issue.
