------- Additional comments from [email protected] Fri Jan 29 11:55:25 +0000 2010 ------- I am a regular Joe, long-time user of this app - even when it was priced? - and maintain a small installed base on mainly linux platforms. For many years users had to manually tweak certain files to get British English [BE] working on the dictionaries and in particular the thesaurus. The way to enable this has changed in version 3 and so one one or two opensuse boxes I spent about a day enabling BE thesaurus on 3.1.1.0 - I can't remember how it was done, but I do remember the pain. I've just wiped and updated to OpenSuse 11.2 64 bit and OO 3.1.1.4. Once again I have no British English thesaurus. I have some more installs of 00 [3.1.0] where no work was required [as far as I can remember]. For these machines I am loath to update unless BE is enabled. Users need some certainty that BE can be used or applied easily without serious anorak effort!! As a result of seeing several installs I am unsure if the issue is actually with OO but rather with the various packages for each linux flavour i.e. on opensuse 64 11.2 no BE whilst netbooks on Linpus/fedora & windows have BE thesaurus. This is really off-putting and a major inconvenience. it's embarrassing. Is there any way to ensure that packages have both (BE & otherE) available - not localisation but actually working dictionaries and thesaurus? Is this an OO issue at all? if so I want to volunteer to ensure BE availability 'out-of-the-box' --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
