Thomas
I am glad you detailed that, as that is exactly how I thought it should
work.
Out of interest, the current standard English dictionary extension
hyphenation dictionary currently uses multiple locales (and the same for the
associated thesaurus). So I am surprised to hear there is a bug associated
with this. From my own personal use I have never experienced any problem
with this. Although, I see from the Issue you mentioned that it involved the
Russian dictionary (which I never used).
>From the standard English dictionary extension:
<node oor:name="HyphDic_en-GB" oor:op="fuse">
<prop oor:name="Locations" oor:type="oor:string-list">
<value>%origin%/hyph_en_GB.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-US en-ZA</value>
</prop>
</node>
