Description mad4co 2004-09-04 08:55:03 UTC 
Would it be possible to make custom dictionaries so that they can be assigned as
the language of particular paragraph or character styles the way the major
language dictionaries can? I work in several minority languages, most of which I
do not know myself, and spell checking is crucial. I can import custom
dictionaries, but none appear on the "language" list of the style modification
dialogue. 

OOo is a great product, and if I can get dictionary, frame and macro issues
sorted out, I'll use it exclusively. Great work!
Howard Oates.

SBA: At times, the dictionaries work language-specific and the check is made
when a text string has the respective language set (see at format-character-Tab
"font", listbox "language".
To have an "odd" language checked, the respective text must have the language
set. Then the dictionary of that language will be used. There are different ways
to set a language. Via Paragraph styles looks feasible here.

In OOo 2.0 (currently available as 680m52 developer build), More that 120 western 
languages are supported (including highlights like Esperanto, Faroese, Swaheli,
Tartar and Welsh) in terms of "can be applied as text attribute". Is there is
any important language missing?

So if you have a dictionary for each language that you use and that dictionary
is set as being used, what's the problem?

In general, a mixture of languages within one paragraph is more likely than the
2one-style-one-language-approach you tell about.
