Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 97403
Update English dictionaries
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:02:43 UTC
Please, integrate the attached en_CA, en_US, en_GB spelling dictionaries and en_US, en_GB hyphenation dictionaries. From OOo 3.0.1, extension manager can handle multiple hyphenation files for a package without problems (information from Thomas Lange on Lingu-dev mailing list), so it's possible to fix the bad default en_US hyphenation of OOo 3.0 (the English extension of OOo 3.0 contains and uses only the en_GB hyphenation pattern for American English hyphenation, too.)

I take over, I'm currently at it anyway.
I'm a bit confused: it seems that in Issue 19563 also dictionaries have been attached. Are these the same dictionaries as those attached here? And will they become integrated in CWS hunspell4thesaurus? Will OOo3.0 work correctly with the new dictionaries?
Ah, and the same for the hyphenation dictionaries in issue 90028.
MBA: I have made this issue for the new dictionaries, so here is the right dictionaries. OOo 3 works with these dictionaries. Only the long ordinal numbers, like "17th" doesn't recognized by the old Hunspell 1.1.12 in OOo 3.0.
MBA: I haven't renamed the dictionaries, but it's better to rename them to simple en_US.*, en_CA.* etc.

I have attached a new version from the dictionaries. I have shortened the dictionary file names. I had to modify a little bit the hyphenation patterns, because the previous version did't fix one of the ugliest English hyphenation mistake of OpenOffice.org 3.0 (can='t). (This was an old hyphenation error, but only for British texts in the older OpenOffice.org versions.) I will attach a test extension very soon (also for CWS hunspell4thesaurus).
Test extension: Issue 19563 en_US dictionary test: see Issue 19563 en_US hyphenation test: see Issue 90028
So now we have spelling and hyphenation for en-GB and en-US and spelling for en-CA, en-ZA and en-AU. I also have the en-US thesaurus. Currently we use the en-GB hyphenation for en-CA, en-ZA and en-AU and the en-US thesaurus for all these locales. This is the main reason for having one big "en" linguistic extension. I prefer not to rush things and as 3.1 code freeze is near I would like to stay with one "en" linguistic package for the time being, though it would be a little bit bigger because of the new en-CA dictionaries.
