Spell checking in French

[Raymond Helie]

Hi,


I am trying to get your spell & grammar checking for French along with English. 
 Your English version is Ok.  But am having problems getting the French 
version.  As per your instructions, I click on "Tools", then "options", then 
"language settings' AND this is where I see nothing for writing aids (your next 
instruction). After this, I should get "available language modules.  Please 
help me by giving me a detailed procedure where I can also use your spell 
checking in French.  Thank you in advance for your prompt response.

Click on the black triangle or the + sign to left of Language Settings to open 
the sub-menus.  Which sign is used depends on the particular operating system 
in use.  Or simply double click "Language settings".

please make sure that also an extension for a French spell check is 
installed. You can see if this is done and OK when a little icon with 
"ABC" and a blue hook is in front of the language item.


With a right-mouse click in a text document open the character 
formatting dialog, then the tab "Font" and see the "Language" drop-down-box.


The dictionary for French spell check can be found on the extension website:

Hi Marcus, all

Actually the fastest way to add a dictionary should be clicking on 
Tools, Languages, More Dictionaries Online


More Dictionaries Online should point to a user friendly page like 
Mozilla's

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/language-tools/

The problem is that the menu item launches a weblink to 
https://extensions.openoffice.org/dictionaries?lang=en-US (where 
lang=value depends on the AOO interface language) which is then 
translated to 
https://extensions.openoffice.org/en/search?f%5B0%5D=field_project_tags%3A157 
(the same as clicking on the Dictionaries button on the Extensions website)


However searching for the words spelling or dictionaries returns many 
more results than the Dictionaries button (for instance none of the 
Portuguese tools show up when clicking Dictionaries)
This means that the search key is not working as expected (maybe not all 
extensions have the needed tag?)


Should I open a Bugzilla issue about this?

Regards,
Pedro

P.S. I can volunteer to kick off a similar list of the available AOO 
languages (and links to the extensions) if the devs agree that it makes 
sense to link to such a page.
