If you mean the Tamil spell checker that allegedly resides at https://extensions.libreoffice.org/extensions/tamil-spellchecker there is no stable release. The spelling dictionary listed at https://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/tamil-spellchecker-dictionary has a warning that it hasn't been updated since AOo 4.3. The hyphenation dictionary listed at https://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/tamil-hyphenation-dictionary has a warning that it hasn't been updated since AOo 3.4. As far grammar checking is concerned, https://languagetool.org/languages/ states that they are looking for a maintainer. Going by the announcements at http://thamizha.org/, it looks like that project is dormant. I didn't delve beyond the first page. IF it is an active project, the home page is in desperate need of being updated. >did you check that? Huge disconnects between the languages that LibO claims are supported, and the languages that are supported, are not uncommon. Looks like I need to update https://libreoffice-environment.blogspot.com/search/label/grammar%20checking especially not all dictionary extensions can be installed in LibO 6.x. Maybe that is the fault of the _daily build/alpha/beta/not for use anywhere near a production environment_ version that I was doing the testing on.

That said, I'd suggest heading over to https://languagetool.org/development/ to work on grammar checking, and https://hunspell.github.io/ to work on spell checking. FWIW, I wouldn't be surprised is the spell checker and hyphenation dictionary for AOo simply needed to be updated, and vocabulary expanded. jonathon _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
