Hi Christian,
first of all, please forgive me for my silence
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)
an hebrew spellchecker already exists
so, there may be a way
But this is no reason that there could not be an arabic dictionary-file.
It just would be bigger...
yes, just a list for the beginning
the spellchecking may be slow, but it would be a beginning
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..
thanks i'll have a look
Laurent
