Re: building a custom dictionary for spellchecking
This does not tell us much. Are you getting any error messages? Is the standard dictionary working correctly?brahim213 wrote:Hi,

What operating system and what version of AOO or LibreOffice are you using?
What language ?
LibreOffice 7.3.7. 2; Ubuntu 22.04
Re: building a custom dictionary for spellchecking
You linked to a set of instructions that helps you to build a set of dictionary files that you can use within hunspell. But if you want to use it in OpenOffice, you have to follow the rules of OpenOffice, and for that, you have to turn the dictionary files into an extension, then you have to install the extension before you can use it.
OpenOffice 4.1.11 on Ubuntu; LibreOffice 6.4 on Linux Mint, LibreOffice 7.6.2.1 on Ubuntu

Re: building a custom dictionary for spellchecking
A possible workaround (detail not considered or tried, so this may not work): make a custom dictionary of the correct name within OpenOffice. Exit OO. Open the new custom dictionary with a plain text editor and verify that the headers correspond with those of the custom dictionary you have made (any count of entries needs to be correct). Then replace the new dictionary file with the custom dictionary file. This may or may not work.

Re: building a custom dictionary for spellchecking
I have already tested this method because my local language uses non latin like german or turkish caracters so when .dic text file format is changed from ANSI to Utf8 will not work.RoryOF wrote:A possible workaround (detail not considered or tried, so this may not work): make a custom dictionary of the correct name within OpenOffice.

i have tested this method but not work !!
my local language uses caracters with Utf8 (.dic with Utf8 Format) like german or turkish and this example shows how to build it with en-US (.dic with ANSI Format)
attached my local language dictionary tamazight.dic in archive tamazight.zip

Try this version - I haven't tested it, but the headers in your sample file are incorrect.
