[oo.org] No Dutch Spellchecking

LB06 · 2006-10-18 20:43:07

I'm having problems with the spellchecker in openoffice.org. I've installed openoffice-base, openoffice-nl and openoffice-spell-{en,nl,de}.

My interface is completely in Dutch, so I guess that means that openoffice-nl works fine. But when I go to tools->options...->Language Settings I notice there's no blue "V" with "ABC" next to Dutch, which means there's no dictionary that could be found for that language.

English and German do seem to have a dictionary, and so do Italian and Swahili (which aren't even installed).

Things I've tried:
- Reinstalling all openoffice related packages (maybe some files were corrupt)
- Delete my ~/.openoffice.org2/ dir

Could somebody help me please? I need spell checking for my academic papers. In the current situation I have to save them as .doc and use MS' spell checker... Which is not convienient nor desirable, of course

hmm weird, works with no problem here (I don't use the dutch translation of openoffice though, only the dutch spellchecker files)
The dutch spellchecker files should create theser files, do you have them?
Maybe you can try to run "pacman -Qo *" in the opt/openoffice/share/dict/ooo/ dir to see if all the files there are owned by a package. If not they shouldn't be there.
Also another possibility is to try to install them from openoffice: file->wizards->install new dictionaries
Also it only provides spellchecker files for dutch, netherlands and no for dutch, belgium, but seeing your profile this shouldn't be the problem

I have those files. I'll try your suggestion to install it manually. Thanks! Btw. All files in that dir are owned by a package, so that doesn't seem to be the problem either.

P.S. Belgium Beer is the best there is

You're damn right about this 8)

Thank you. That worked!

I still don't know why it didn't detect the dictionaries automatically, though.

I have the same problem as described in the first post by LB06. Unfortunately the wizard for installing new dictionaries does not work in version 2.3.0.
So I tried to edit dictionary.lst manually by doing;

cat spell.nl >> dictionary.lst

but that also didn't work for me.

Any other solutions?
