Sorry, I cannot take credit for the word lists. They are open-source
and come from a Linux repository source for a different type of system
dictionary. There were list for American English, British English [not
Oxford], Canadian English, French, Spanish, and Italian.
I just converted these lists to something that LO could use. To be
honest, if you know what to do, you can create your own specialty
dictionaries. You just take one from the correct language as a model
and make yours using that model. It also helps that have open-source
components to work from.
My issue was I could not find any "easy" documentation to help me do the
work. I found a few hints, but that was all. So I had to do some trial
and error for the non-word-list items. I wanted to be able to have a
person install all my dictionary files then use the enable/disable
options to choose which dictionary you wish to use at any given time.
My next "job" will be to see how I can add to the thesaurus data for
some of the words that are not included. The thesaurus I currently use
deals with American, British, and Canadian English words and phrases,
about 145,800 of them. There are a lot of phrases and abbreviations in
the thesaurus. I want to see what can be done to make it include others
that might be needed or wanted by our LibreOffice users.
Below are some of the word listings in the thesaurus I am using. This
is an indexed list so changing the number of lines for a word in this
list will reflect/change the indexed line number of the index file. I
will have to create/use a database style of software to alter the
thesaurus system. For the "1st baron verulam" it starts on line #10337
of the thesaurus data file, while "ocher" starts on line #11507218. If
I add lines to any word[s] between these two, all of the indexes will be
mess up from the first addition on. As for "ocher", it also shows
"ochre" as a different spelling for it.

Hi Tom,
I just added the total number of words in these dictionaries and it's three
million, nine hundred and thirty one thousand words.
An unbelievable amount of work for one guy.
I would say Brilliant work.
Cheers,
Bruce.
