------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Mar 26 09:12:42 -0800 2005 ------- The choice of dictionary is bound to a particular language and country code. For example "en" and "GB". One can define multiple dictionaries for "en" and "GB" but they are all checked for spelling and it is not possible to select which one should be used. It would be extremely useful to do so. For example, in the UK there are two distinctly different "house styles": one based on the OED house style and the other based on colloquial English usage. Sometimes one needs to use one and sometimes the other. We have created two different en-GB dictionaries conforming to the two house styles, but there is no way to select which one should be used without manually editing the dictionary.lst file and restarting OOo. It is understood that the same issue arises with other languages too, such as German. This is a request to decouple the choice of dictionary to use from the choice of language and country: e.g. "en" and "GB", thereby allowing multiple dictionaries for one language/country, and to provide the user with the capability to select which dictionary should be used without having to restart OOo. Thus if one selected "en" and "GB", one would have a further choice whether to use the "English (UK)" or "English (OED)" dictionary. (Assuming both are installed.) An alternative solution would be to define additional language variants, such as, for English, the language "English (OED)" and allocate it a different designator such as "en" and "OED" (rather than using "en" and "GB"). en-OED would be non-country-specific flavour of English. Whilst less ideal than the request above this solution may fit better with the current architecture of the application. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
