Hi Dale; With due respect to Italy's cultural richness (which I so much admire being italian myself but not only because of that), Neapolitan is classified as a dialect, not a language, for good reasons.
Compared to standard italian you use the same character set and gramatical rules. Furthermore the computer related terms that OpenOffice uses are the same as in standard italian. My recomendation is just to add a dictionary with Naepolitan terms to the standard italian dictionary. best regards, Pedro, --- On Fri, 9/2/11, Rob Weir <robw...@apache.org> wrote: > Hi Dale, > > I'm forwarding your question to the Apache list where > OpenOffice > development discussions are now taking place. > Hopefully someone here > has an answer to your question, about how to get started > making a new > language translation of OpenOffice. > > Regards, > > -Rob > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: Dale Erwin <d...@casaerwin.org> > Date: Mon, Aug 29, 2011 at 4:43 PM > Subject: [users] Re: Languages > To: us...@openoffice.org > > > On 8/29/2011 1:53 PM, Sigrid Carrera wrote: > > > > Hello Erwin, > > > > On Mon, 29 Aug 2011 12:14:10 -0500 > > Dale Erwin<d...@casaerwin.org> > wrote: > > > >> If this is not the proper forum, perhaps someone > could point me to the > >> proper one, but I am trying to find out what is > necessary to be done to > >> have a new language available for OOo. > > > > You might have to download a so called "languagepack" > for the > > language you want and have to install it alongside > your OOo version. > > > > Once you have installed it, go to Tools -> > Options -> Language > > settings -> Language and choose there the default > language you want. > > You will have to close OOo completely (even the > Quickstarter if you > > use it) and restart OOo for the change to take > effect. > > > > Hope this helps. > > > > Sigrid > > > > > After sending my email, I was afraid it would be construed > that way. > I don't mean adding a language to my installation that OOo > already > supports.
