Hi Frank,
I use the English default user interface which came with the English
download. I compose a text in English UK so spellchecker etc. are all
set to English UK. Now when I try to start the thesaurus it never
finds a term, even not with basic words like 'word' because there is
no English Uk thesaurus.
For every word I try to look up I have to manually change the language
to English US and there - surprise - you get all you need. But this is
real work. So, how do the non-American English users tweak the
thesaurus so that they conturn the manual change of language when they
look up a term ?
By editing a file it can be done that en-UK uses the same thesaurus as
en-US.
You need to edit the file "share\dict\ooo\dictionary.lst" (make sure
to have a copy of it, just in case...). Also make sure to not have
an Office running.
In that file there should be a line that looks sth like
THES en US th_en_US
Where the 4th entry denotes the thesaurus file (without extension) to
use and the 2nd and 3rd entry specify the locale it will be used for.
Thus you just need to add an additionally entry where you change the
locale from en-US to en-UK:
THES en UK th_en_US
This way en-UK will now use the same thesaurus file as en-US.
Questions :
Is UK the country code, or GB ? In the example given in dictionary.lst
GB is used.
Isn't the name for the thesaurus file th_en_US_v2 ? I downloaded the
thesaurus some days ago, with DicOOo, and I got this new name.
A good answer always creates a new question ...
Thanks
Frank
