Re: [users] custom dictionary

[Abu_Adam Al-Naruujiy]

Thanks Kevin and others,

Kevin, I tested your utility, it is very promising and a much appreciated
effort. A couple of notes:

-I noticed that sometimes it puts several words together. E.g. Nasaa'iy
Nawawiy Qaamuus comes as Nasaa'iyNawawiyQaamuus.

-It also does not seem to handle Unicode very well. E.g. the symbol ˆ comes
as out looking sort of like this: ˆ|. (when I pasted it into this email it
came out as ˆ without that line. The letter ļ comes as ļ. Muĥiiţ comes as
Muĥiiţ. I use unicode symbols for transliteration of Arabic.

I've attached the files for you, if you would like to see.

Hi Terje,

I look after the Australian English dictionary. Entries in peoples'
customised dictionary should be a great source of words that may be
missing from a dictionary.

Anything that makes it easier for people to get a list of words from
their custom dictionary files, can only help the dictionary maintainers.

As a result of your question, I wrote a utility to convert the
customised dictionary file into a list of words. The utility is an
OpenOffice.org Writer document with a form and macro.

You can find the utility on the following page.

http://www.dictionary.JustLocal.com.au

As this gives you a list words, you can then do what you want with the
list of words.

You can then use the same words in the MS Word's custom dictionary.

You may also wish to think about submitting some of your words to the
dictionary maintainer for review, if you felt that was appropriate.

Please feel free to test the utility and offer any feedback.

I hope this helps.

Regards,
