Dear Openoffice support;
I downloaded the Italian and French dictionaries successfully, but
then found that I had on my system already three different German
dictionaries, a Dutch and a Hungarian dictionary, a Swahili
dictionary, and CTL for Thai. Can I uninstall any of these? Why are
they the default languages? Sincerely;
Rita Laurance
Perhaps Swiss German, German German and Austrian German? They are all
different so it's not as stupid as it sounds.
You can set up templates with different default languages. If you
sometimes write German documents and sometimes write French ones you can
have a template for each and pick which one you want when you start a
new document. But there can only be one "Default language for
documents". Of course, you can change it from one document to the next
if you want to. Any language in the list that has a little icon showing
"abc" and a tick (check mark if you are American) can be used for spell
checking. Languages without that icon can't be used for spell checking.
You can also have a multi-lingual set up with "styles" set up for
different languages. You can configure OO so that each paragraph is
spell checked in its own language.
For more details, please see the Help - "styles", "templates", "language
settings" and "languages" - and the on-line documentation on the OO web
site.
