Hi,

FYI,

Richard Holt of the OpenOffice.org project already has built a Spanish dictionary for use by OpenOffice.org

http://whiteboard.openoffice.org/lingucomponent/download_dictionary.html

(see the es_ES.zip file release notes).

He was one of the very first dictioanry contributors to OpenOffice.org and is now in charge of the lingucomponent website, dictionaries, etc.

Perhaps you and he should get together and merge dictionaries so that there is one better Spanish dictionaries instead of multiple ones.


[I already suscribed to the list, no need to cc me]

Thanks for the pointer, Kevin. It is based in the same dict I use for ispell, so I find reasonable to make it come from the same source, with Richard aditions merged, but I still have to check it further. I will also use it to test my ispell2myspell converter to check whether it is really useful for anything else than having some fun programming.

I obtain the same results for all but the W flag (except that I still keep comments on the right side), which in Richard's file is splitted. Is that done for readability or for a better loading?

One side comment about the hyphenation file, the original tex file by Julio Sanchez is not GPL (see /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/hyphen/sphyph.tex). I do not if this affect the derived work done for openoffice, or if this latter can be regarded as an independent stuff.

Cheers,

Agustin
