Forgive me for my big mistake. What I would like is to build a database with DHOLUO words plus their equivalent ENGLISH words,
Thank you George, I thought a bit about this but in the end the solution you have now, i.e., the list of expressions in a two-column table, seems the best solution. We don't have translation facilities available withing OpenOffice.
I would wholeheartedly appreciate every kind of suggestion from you.
OpenOffice does not currently have any kind of support for Dholuo, and you could help in making Dholuo known to OpenOffice (no translation involved: it just means that OpenOffice will know that there exists a language named Dholuo - or Luo).
To do this, you should provide information about your language (for example, is 1000/3 written "333,33" or "333.33"?) as explained in http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/How_to_submit_new_Locale_Data
There is a link to a "generator" on that page. You will receive a lot of warnings but it still works. When you have generated an appropriate file for Dholuo (it seems it's listed under "Luo") please send it to us and we will integrate it in OpenOffice so that at least you can, for example, say that a document is written in Dholuo, even if there isn't a dictionary available yet.
