Hi all,

The only thing I can contribute to it is that the API supports this (it
is called alternative spelling). See
http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/linguistic2/XHyphenatedWord.html
It worked previously in StarOffice with the 'old' German spelling...

The implementation of the OOo hyphenator does not make use of
alternative spellings right now though.
