The dictionary itself is still work in progress, that may be a reason for the
false detections. Another reason may be the lack of an agreed orthography
standard for the Low German / Low Saxon language. I checked this against
http://www.plattdeutsch.net/pages/platt-lesen/gedichte-und-geschichten.php#mien
and except for a few words the dictionary appears to be working correctly. An
empty affix file (.aff) does not indicate a corrupt dictionary since the use of
prefix and suffix rules is optional. (This may be addressed in later versions
of the dictionary)

So this being not technically a bug, but rather a missing language
implementation I assume this issue should be closed. Now where do I have to go
to get the locale data added to OpenOffice so that "Low German" will show up
under "Language Settings - Languages - Default languages for documents -
Western"?
