Hi all,
In the Dutch language area we have an official "green" spelling (after
the color of the book in which the official word list is published) and
alternative "white" spelling, which is supported by several newspapers,
publishers etc. who did not agree with the latest spelling reforms. The
situation is a bit similar to that in Germany. I noticed an option in
OpenOffice.org "German spelling - old". How is that option implemented?
I did not see a separate .dic file for old German spelling in
share/dict/ooo/. Could a similar option enable the user to select
between green and white Dutch spelling dictionaries?
Another, related question,
There are language identifiers nl_BE and nl_NL. However, Belgium and the
Netherlands use the same official spelling, and we see no other valid
reason to provide separate nl_BE and nl_NL dictionaries.
We are currently installing the word list only for nl_NL because
installing it for nl_BE as well would mean redundantly taking up twice
the memory. However, Belgian users may, rightfully, select their
document's language as nl_BE, and then not have spell checking. Would it
be possible to implement an option that nl_BE text is spell checked
using the dictionary already loaded for nl_NL?
I'd like to hear your opinions before filing issues to request such
features.
