Yes, that should work.
At least with OOo 3.0.1.
There is a fix added for a bug that may crash the Office if there was a
hyphenation dictionary supporting more than one locale.
See issue 94523.
With OOo 3.0.1 you should be fine with making two entries like
<node oor:name="My_HyphDic_en_US" oor:op="fuse">
<prop oor:name="Locations" oor:type="oor:string-list">
<value>%origin%/hyph_en_US.dic</value>
</prop>
<prop oor:name="Format" oor:type="xs:string">
<value>DICT_HYPH</value>
</prop>
<prop oor:name="Locales" oor:type="oor:string-list">
<value>en-US</value>
</prop>
</node>
and
<node oor:name="My_HyphDic_en_other" oor:op="fuse">
<prop oor:name="Locations" oor:type="oor:string-list">
<value>%origin%/hyph_en_US.dic</value>
</prop>
<prop oor:name="Format" oor:type="xs:string">
<value>DICT_HYPH</value>
</prop>
<prop oor:name="Locales" oor:type="oor:string-list">
<value>en-GB en-CA en-AU en-IE</value>
</prop>
</node>
But you need to explicitly list all locales for the second dictionary.
There is currently no way to specify sth. like
- use it for all English locales but en-US
And please be sure to take note of the entry named "About node names for
the dictionaries" in the wiki:
