You can extend the de_DE.dic file of your installations with your word list. The German dictionary is open source, and you don't need to modify the first line (approximate word count) of the de_DE.dic, simply copy your word list to the end of the file (in the same encoding). (Other methods for OOo 2.4: I believe, you can use multiple definitions in the old dictionary.lst configuration file to the same locale: DICT de DE de_DE DICT de DE your_wordlist Copy your_wordlist.dic (your word list) and your_wordlist.aff (an empty file or the copy of de_DE.aff, if you need Unicode encoding, use SET UTF-8 instead of the default ISO8859-1) to the folder of the dictionary.lst of your installation. Maybe you don't need double DICT in the dictionary.lst, if you want to install your dictionary to the personal Openoffice.org folders of your installations. If I right remember, OOo 2.4 can use both of system-wide (full de_DE) and the personal (your words) dictionaries.

Re: [dev] why ist the size of user dictionaries limited to 2000 entries
Hi Cor, Hi Marcin, Hi André, thanks for your answers. I'm happy to see that the limit of entries in the user dictionary has been increased in OOo 3.0.1 to 3. I also agree with Marcin and André that the dictionary extensions supported since OOo 3.0.0 would be a better solution for my problem. Unfortunately we still have OOo 2.4.x installed on the most of our systems, so none of the two solutions could help in this case. As there are only a view people complaining about our current solution (the 3 user dictionary files), I think there is currently no pressing need to search for another workaround and it's worth to wait until OOo 3 has reached munich :-). 2009/1/22 André Schnabel : > regular hunspell dictionaries are not limited to this.

I also noticed, that dict files in other dictionary extensions contain more than 2000 words and the structure of this file is very simple. So it could be a workaround to create a dict file with standard unix tools and drop down the idea of using the OOo-API. best regards, Christoph - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.org

Re: [dev] why ist the size of user dictionaries limited to 2000 entries
Hi,
a better idea would be to create a dictionary extension. You can even run munch
on the text file that contains the words from your word dictionaries to save
some disk and memory space. Though it may sound as a workaround to you, it's
actually better also for performance reasons.

Marcin

[dev] why ist the size of user dictionaries limited to 2000 entries
Hi,
we want to import our word dictionaries into OOo. The test-macro below
shows that user dictionaries in OOo seem to be limited to 2000
entries. This means we have to create 3 user dictionaries to cover all
of the current 5000 entries in our word dictionary. And users have to
import 3 OOo user dictionaries to use them. Some of our user complain
about the need to have multiple user dictionary active simultanously
and simply don't understand the restriction of 2000 words. What can I
tell them?
Are other types of dictionaries (e.g. system wide dictionaries) also
restricted to 2000 entries?
The following macro creates a new user dictionary and adds some values
until the dictionary is full. In the end the number of possible
elements (2000 on my system) is printed.
dim locale as new com.sun.star.lang.Locale
locale.Language = "de"
dictList = createUnoService ("com.sun.star.linguistic2.DictionaryList")
dict = dictList.createDictionary("meinTest",locale,
com.sun.star.linguistic2.DictionaryType.POSITIVE,
"file:///tmp/test.dic")
count=0
while (NOT(dict.isFull()))
dict.add("Hallo" & count, False, "")
count=count+1
wend
dictList.addDictionary(dict)
print dict.Count
best regards,
Christoph
