fuzzylizard Posted October 30, 2002 Report Share Posted October 30, 2002 Hello, Does anyone know if it is possible to download additional/regional dictionaries for OpenOffice.org? I am specifically looking for a Canadian one. No offense to Americans but I like spelling center as centre and color as colour. I would just like a dictionary/spell checker that knew how to spell Canadian style. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelorax Posted October 30, 2002 Report Share Posted October 30, 2002 Other openoffice.org dictionaries can be found here http://whiteboard.openoffice.org/lingucomp...lets=31ste85y13 Instructions for using them are also on that page, or you can use the automated installer found here http://ooodi.sourceforge.net/ There is a Canadian dictionary there, but no New Zealand one :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest anon Posted October 30, 2002 Report Share Posted October 30, 2002 As you like spelling color colour, and center centre ( the correct way :wink: ) Why don't you use the English( British ) English Dicts ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonMage Posted October 30, 2002 Report Share Posted October 30, 2002 I think the OO dictionaries for Canadian and UK English are included in the Mandrake CDs, the files are: myspell-en_GB-1.0.1-0.20020903.4mdk myspell-en_CA-1.0.1-0.20020315.4mdk Just install them and change the default document language to Canada or UK. I checked it with my OO and sure enough, using Canadian English, 'color' is marked while 'colour' is left alone. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, the only dictionary that I had was for English(US). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
