It could be done but as said it would create extra workload in QA which
is always bad right ahead of a release.

However in your case I see a way bigger problem!
For a language/dictionary to work with spell checking etc. we need a
proper ISO locale for the language (e.g. en_CA). But when I tried to
find one for secwepemc (Shuswap) I didn't get any result.

Of course it would be possible to misapply another existing, and so far
unused, locale to get spell checking done. And I have no problem with
such a dictionary existing in the extension repository (see
http://extensions.services.openoffice.org) since it will still be useful
to many people. Actually spell checking for Latin was done like that for
a long time...
But I have my problems with integrating a dictionary that misapplies a
language into the vanilla product.

Tl->ER: Do you know if there is a working locale for Secwepemc? Any
further comments?


Regards,
Thomas
