Priority: medium
Bug ID: 68373
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: Handle terminating wildcard character * in
Autocorrection list to support agglutinative languages
Severity: enhancement
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: unspecified
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice
Agglutinative languages, like Hungarian use thousands of different suffixes for
nouns. Personal abbreviations would be more usable, automatic corrections of
serious misspellings could cover all occurances with a simple pattern matching
allowing the wildcard character '*' at the end of the replaced word in the
Replace page of Autocorrection Window. For example, "word*" matches all text
starting with "word", and replaced with the "With" replacement string + the
remaining matched text segment.
Test example:
1. Add
i18n*
in the Replace field of the Tools->Autocorrect Options...->Replace page, and
add
internationalization
to the field "With", and press OK.
With the suggested enhancement (and patch), Writer will replace the following
texts (pressing Enter space, or other word boundary characters at the end):
i18n -> internationalization
i18ns -> internationalizations
i18nxxxx -> internationalizationxxxx
Note: check also the language pop-up menu of the Autocorrect page, replacements
will work only in documents with the same language.
