It is simply a dictionary extension. Example: on http://extensions.openoffice.org/ you find an Italian dictionary (for standard text, it has thesaurus and hyphenation too but you don't need them), a dictionary of Italian medical terms and a dictionary of Italian surnames. If you install all three of them, they will all be active at the same time (a word is considered correct if it appears in at least one active dictionary).

So what you need to create is an English dictionary containing only the specific jargon you wish to include. See https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Extension_Dictionaries for a description (a bit outdated, ignore dictionary.lst) and analyze a working extension like http://extensions.openoffice.org/project/dict-it while you study the documentation (download the OXT file and unzip it). Ask the localization mailing list http://openoffice.apache.org/mailing-lists.html for anything else.

  Andrea.
