Quoting F Wolff <frie...@translate.org.za>:
I'm talking about applications other than OOo that want to offer spell checking capabilities to the user. Many applications now use the OOo spell checkers, and refer to the OOo site for people to download, but it would be much more pleasant if software could simply try to get the appropriate spell checker automatically for the user. Let's think of a
then it is up to programmer to implement a mechanism similar to OO Extension manager. I think, it could not be extremely hard to decipher, how extension updater gets to the right (up-to-date) releases of dictionaries.
Even for end-user software, we must keep in mind that the extensions site is not available in all the languages that users might need to understand what they are doing. A user might not even know to click on "Get it!" :-)
I think, it is necessary to note that even OO is not available in all languages it offers spellchecking libraries to.
If I remember correctly, with the old DictOOo macro, it provided a list for the user to choose from (inside the macro), which is much more convenient than reading a web page. I guess the list I quoted earlier in the thread provided the information for that which Daniel says is unmaintained.
Yes, it is so and i do not think there will be great support for the idea to change production cycle as the current finally seems good enough.
