Hi all,

I'm the author and maintainer of the Uzbek dictionary for Aspell. I'm going to
work on adding similar dictionary for Hunspell and patches to OpenOffice.org
if needed.

As a starting point I did the following. I downloaded the demo Uzbek Hunspell
dictionary from http://hunspell.sourceforge.net/uz-demo.tar.gz and copied
uz.aff and uz.dic to $OO/share/dict/oo. Then, I symlinked them to uz_UZ.
{aff,dic} and uz-UZ.{aff,dic} and added "DICT uz UZ uz_UZ" line to
dictionary.lst.

In Writer (OO-2), in Tools->Options->Language Settings->Writing Aids Hunspell
language module is checked. If I select it and press Edit button, in "Edit
Modules" dialog in a Language combo I see Uzbek (Latin). But I cannot find
Uzbek (Latin) in Language Settings->Languages->Default languages for document
Western combo.

My question is how to add Uzbek into language list of OpenOffice.org.

Moreover, Uzbek dictionary I produce is for Cyrillic script. So, first I have
to add "Uzbek (Cyrillic)" language into OpenOffice.org and call Hunspell
Uzbek dictionary correspondingly. As far I understood uz_UZ is for Uzbek
(Latin), isn't it? Then, how should Hunspell Uzbek (Cyrillic) dictionary be
called? Corresponding entry in dictionary.list?

I think you need to start L10N process and add full support for Uzbek. First step is adding Uzbek locale. According http://l10n.openoffice.org/source/browse/l10n/i18npool/source/localedata/data/ there is no Uzbek locale (uz_UZ.xml).

For detailed information about L10N process see http://l10n.openoffice.org/ and http://www.khmeros.info/tools/ sites and subscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
