Hello,

Thank you for checking.

Our immediate goal is to make Aragonese selectable as a
document/text language, so that users can assign it to text
and use our Hunspell spelling dictionary. For the moment, we are not yet
currently requesting a full Aragonese translation of the OpenOffice UI.

Is creating an NLC project a prerequisite for this, or can
Aragonese be added to the document language list independently?

Could you please advise on the required changes and where
we should submit a request or patch?

The language codes are “an” (ISO 639-1) and “arg” (ISO 639-2/3).
Our dictionary uses the locale an-ES.

Thank you,
Juan Pablo Martínez
