Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Add Current ICU Word-breaking for Khmer?
Thanks for your reply Eike, I did a test on LibO master 3.6 in Windows 7 64-bit and confirm that line-breaking for Khmer is working correctly! This is wonderful! It is the first confirmed project that has used the new code in ICU. But for spell checking, the word-breaks are not being used. Is there a way to enable the ICU word breakiterator word boundary for spell checking in LibreOffice? If not, does anyone know who we can contact to point us in the right direction (line-breaks are a great addition, but automatic word-breaks for spell checking would be absolutely a great thing for the Cambodian people).

[libreoffice-l10n] Add Current ICU Word-breaking for Khmer?
Hello, I was wondering if someone could help me to add current ICU word-breaking capabilities for Khmer (Cambodian) into LibreOffice. Word-break support for Khmer has been added to ICU (http://bugs.icu-project.org/trac/ticket/8329) but I am not sure how to get it added into LibreOffice for spelling checker and line-break ease of use (Khmer has no "real" spaces between words like Thai, but we add zero-width spaces between words in order to use a spelling checker and for line-breaks). I helped add Khmer word-breaking to ICU, but I am not much of a programmer, so if anyone would be willing to help, that would be wonderful.
