------- Additional comments from [email protected] Sun Apr 4 16:38:33 +0000 2010 ------- If the issue is still under development: It'd be very useful to open this feature *not* only to "language variants." I use many autocorrect entries across languages, for example names or abbreviations of journal titles, etc. (If you cite the author, you'll use the name & journal/book in whichever language you use.) The same goes for many (more obscure) geographical locations, company names, titles of music albums, etc.--if we try, we'll come up with a lot more examples--and even for substituting special characters (e.g., I always like to have an autocorrect function for Greek letters without having to add a Greek keyboard) or stuff like quickly adding somewhere a line with dashes. Besides, texts get sometimes written by mistake with the wrong language setting; unless you "check spelling/grammar as you type," you will probably never notice until you make a final spell check, but in the meantime you can easily add a word to the wrong language file if you don't pay attention. (And I'd think that these issues will increase in the next few years, 1.) because OO will be used by more international users, and 2.) more and more users will use more than one language. So I wonder if it's easier to introduce a more flexible solution now rather than changing it again soon.) So I guess it'd be optimal then if a user could choose where to add a new entry: - to the current language - to all languages of this variant (e.g., "all English") - to all languages - or to languages he selects (drop-down menu which would allow clicking on multiple dictionaries) I realize that this is more work, so I'm really just suggesting this solution... even though, as I said before, I suspect that it might be work done "for the future" :o) Either way, thanks for taking care of any of this! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
