Canada dictionary in OOo in Debian?

2008-08-21 Thread H.S.

Hello,

In Debian Lenny, I have my locate set as en_CA.UTF-8. However, when I
use OpenOffice.Org, on US American dictionary seems to be used. If I
select the language to be EN_CA from the Tools-Language menu, the
dictionary does not work.

So, how do I get the the Canadian dictionary to work OOo in Debian Lenny?


I have these installed:
$ dpkg -l *myspell* | grep ^i
ii  libmyspell3c2  1:3.1-18   MySpell spellchecking library
ii  myspell-en-gb  1:2.4.0-2  English_british dictionary for myspell
ii  myspell-en-us  1:2.4.0-2  English_american dictionary for myspell

Thanks in advance.

Could you please keep the sarcasm away and at least give me a benefit of
the doubt that I have looked at this problem with some minimum care? But
I will spell it out for you: I know it is not installed. So, where can I
find it in Debian? Does Debian even have it, even though it has en_ca
locale? What am I missing here?

If I recall correctly, for the longest time one just didn't exist for 
OOo.  OpenOffice.org offers the following page (disclosure: I haven't 
tried it):


http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Dictionaries

I'd be interested in knowing how you make out.

I was trying to avoid that method :)

This way, as I understand this correctly, the dictionary gets installed
only for the user. I wanted to have it installed system wide.

Thanks.

Hello H.S.

I'm having the same situation, it looks that the Canadian dictionary
doesn't exist yet! and by default it use U.S. dictionary.

My preference in this case is to use British dictionary, but i can't.

In addition, and I not sure about this since I haven't tried, one might
also need to be using a en_GB.UTF-8 locale. Would love to be enlightened
on this though.
