I think the problem is to find a suitable algorithm to form the words. An arabic (I think it there is similar problems with hebrew) dictionary list would currently have to contain all possible forms of a word (or at least a big deal of them). myspell only works with prefixes/suffixes wich is not suitable for arabic. (Please correct me when I'm writing nonsense here) But this is no reason that there could not be an arabic dictionary-file. It just would be bigger... A quick search at google reveiled http://www.arabeyes.org/project.php?proj=duali an arabic spellchecker that uses a different affix-format but that could serve as a base for a myspell-compatible dictionary. Their cvs also contains a directory "openoffice" - maybe they're already working on integrating the spell-checker.. ciao Christian -- NP: Execution - Ocean (Out Of Control) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
