------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Nov 7 13:45:15 +0000 2007 ------- @ TL : I'm afraid you are wrong. The last entry doesn't erase the previous ones. I even use three dictionaries with fr FR. fr_FR > old spelling fr_FR-1990 > new spelling If only one dictionary has to be choosen, I think the first one is the one the users expect the most. The difference between the both is very small (approximatively 2000 words difference). In 1990, there was an attempt to modernize the french spelling, and a report about what changes should be made has been approved. But the new spelling is NOT mandatory. The new spelling and the old one are both correct. It has been decided to wait and see if people use it to definitely approve it or not. Actually, most of the new spelling is not very often used now. In the "Bescherelle", which is one of the major books for french spelling and grammar, the new spelling is only considered as an alternative correct one, and is just described in very few pages and in notes at bottom of pages in very little letters. Users will probably be upset if they must write "maitre" instead of "maître", so the old spelling is probably the one that should be offered by default, and the other one to download. That's just my opinion. I could be wrong about how often the new spelling is used. In the future, I think we should merge the two dictionaries. Not so easily done, because the affix files are different. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
