I'm using Ubuntu Linux 6.06 and the included OpenOffice 2.0.2, 
where, for writing in Swedish, the spellchecking dictionary is 
very poor, hyphenation seems to be broken, and a thesaurus is 
missing (greyed out in the menu). Some documentation talks about 
grammar checking, but I haven't found this in the menues.

I'm not here to complain, but to learn how I can help to improve 
this situation.  To this end, I've just signed up for the mailing 
lists at sv.openoffice.org.

But I'd also like to see some statistics on how well other 
languages are doing.  In short, I don't only want Swedish to be 
good, I also want to beat the Danes.  :-)  I know there are German 
and Danish projects to develop free thesauri that can be used in 
OpenOffice, but how do you compare the sizes or quality of the 
dictionaries, rule sets, and thesauri for different languages?

Over at http://qa.openoffice.org/localized/status.html there are 
charts for which languages have been built on which platforms.  
Is there any similar diagram that shows the included functionality 
and overall quality of the support for each language?

Is this a question for native-lang or for lingucomponent?
