Hello guys,
I just installed openoffice-base. Using the extension manager from Tools menu, in Writer for example, I can not find any German spelling dictionaries. I see many language supportments only except German. Why is that? How can I install a (newest!?) German spelling dictioniary?
Thanks

I think I remember that these german dictionaries were a bit hard to find, but they are definitely there. Sure you were digging deep enough?

They also don't work well. They don't know how, erm, "conjunct nouns" work in the German language. I don't know the word, the concept does not exist in English afaik. The only one that works is this: http://www.duden.de/deutsche_sprache/de … 11-10962-3
It's not free, but it's excellent.

Of course, there are plenty of commercial dictionary spelling libraries. I already found some. But I still do not believe that the openoffice does not have built-in support in openoffice itself.
I think I have found it.

It is worth trying. Let's say you should be wary if you're not a native speaker or have problems with things like "zusammengesetze Nomen".
Let's have a quiz. Which is right?
Handschuhhalter
Handschuh Halter
Handschuh-Halter

I prefer Handschuh-Halter, although I'd guess it's wrong. There are many things with the "neue deutsche Rechtschreibreform", like "Nuss" instead of "Nuß", because the u is spoken shortly and the plural is "Nüsse", so "Nuss" makes much more sense. But there are too many disturbing things, too many idiotic rules. The german language is really beautiful (yes I really think so), but when it comes to writing it down, it's just a desaster. Germans can't write their own language right, that's a fact.
