Thank you both so much for looking into this.
I'm putting Aaron Madlon-Kay, who is the OmegaT project coordinator in Cc.
The process was transparent to the user so it's hard to see what was
hosted/expected from the site, but from reading the OmegaT code it looks like
the site hosted a number of zipped .aff + .dic pairs for each language.
https://sourceforge.net/p/omegat/code/ci/master/tree/src/org/omegat/core/spellchecker/DictionaryManager.java
OmegaT displayed the language code, the user selected a language and OmegaT
downloaded the zip, unzipped it in a dedicated folder and that was it.
Marco Skambraks seems to have been working on accessibility in Linux.
https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/accessibility/charter_v1.0
https://www.knopper.net/knoppix-adriane/index-en.html
https://www.suse.com/c/the-brains-behind-the-books-part-ix-meike-chabowski/
He seems to be heading this company
http://www.ammec.de/
So I guess the belief that we were using an OOo repository was wrong and I'm
sorry I bothered you.
LibreOffice seems to have a github repository with the unzipped files at
https://github.com/LibreOffice/dictionaries
Either way, we'll have to implement a new solution.
Thank you again for all the work you do on OOo.
