Wrong!! For example currently Laurent was so kind to lend a helping hand to convert the existing dictionaries into extensions. Namely those that were previously pre-installed (those within the CVS tree of OOo). Also since he maintains the current dictionary download page I think he will probably convert even those dictionaries that are not pre-installed by default into extensions. But I must admit I have not yet asked about those. > Contrary the impression given by most descriptions of the process, it > is fairly easy to create a dictionary for OOoo 2.4, and lower. Yes, it is! If you have a functional dictionary extension, e.g. the one from Olivier, you need just to unzip the package, replace some files, change the contents of about three other xcu/xml files and repack everything. The process should not take more than 15 minutes. >>If they're already installed, why does the wizard even exist? For various reasons not all of them are pre-installed. For example in French you have 3 sets of dictionaries to choose from. The for pre spelling reform dictionaries, the one that incorporates that reform, and a third which is a mix of both. Thus we need to decide which one is going to be pre-installed. And that one might not be what the user wants...
