Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 15494
Dictionary Registry not saved
Last modified: 2013-02-24 20:34:24 UTC
Added es_ES and pt_BR dictionaries using DictInstall tool, which puts them in wrong directory, so, manually moved them, added correct entries to Dictionary.lst. All showed up okay in Tools=>Options=>Language Settings- >Writing Aids. But, when I check the spellcheck function for the new languages (and hyphenation for Spanish (Spain)), and close with OK, the settings do not get saved, and are unchecked on reentry to same dialog. This checked on two installations (XP and .NET Server 2003), neither works right. Matt Needles
Hi Matt, Two things ... 1. Did you install the *hyphenation* dictionary for Spain? Hyphenation and spellcheck dictioanries are NOT the same. I could not tell from your post which types of dictionaries you have installed. 2. Please post a list of the files in share/dict/ooo/ and the contents of the file "dictionary.lst" Thanks, Kevin
Answer to 1: I installed BOTH SpellCheck and Hyphenation dictionaries for Spanish(Spain) and SpellCheck only for Portuguese (Brazil).

Hi, It all looks fine (you meant "dictionary.lst" and not "Dictionary.lst" right). Please try removing the following file if it exists: share/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Linguistic.xcu Then try exiting OOo and Quickstarter and restarting them and see if it will now remember things properly. Please let me know if this workaround helps. Your issue might be related to issue 15362 and should tell us. Kevin
I did as Robert Black Eagle said, deleted Linguistic.xcu from both the User and Net install directories, restarted OOo1.1b2 and the settings now are correct. So, the bug must be that the first Linguistic.xcu generated at install time has a problem.
HI, Then this is a duplicate of 15362 which has already been fixed in OOo 1.1RC. So I am resolving this as a duplicate. Thanks for your bug report. Kevin *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 15362 ***
