Re: en_GB dictionary for AOO

[Marco A.G.Pinto]

Hello Stuart, I visited the site but the dictionary there is outdated, this because the .OXT one from AOO has been updated in 2013 (or 2010). There is a difference of about 10 000 words from the V1.20 in his site, from the new one. Isn't there someone who could uncompress the current dictionary and send it to me? Maybe the tool used to compress also allows uncompress. Who are the persons in charge of it? Thanks!

But the dictionary uses "compression". In other words, instead of a "normal" code after each word, it uses numbers that represent a set of codes. Can't someone convert it back to a plain file? Otherwise I won't be able to edit it. Thanks!

The big issue with it is that it is compressed, so my tool doesn't work normally with it. Could someone place download links, for uncompressed versions of it?: - en_GB.aff - en_GB.dic The dict-en.oxt file you download from http://extensions.openoffice.org/en/projectrelease/english-dictionaries-apache-openoffice-20130731 must simply be unzipped. You will find the en_GB.* files within the archive. Regards, Andrea. -- --
