Re: [libreoffice-users] Specialty Dictionaries

[Tom Davies <tomdavies04@yahoo.co.uk>]

Hi :)
I think i would create a new specialist list and add 2 or 3 words to it.  Then look for the file to see what format it uses and then copy&paste tons of words in at a time.  For combined words i would add a - in the middle, eg "Eucalyptus-vulgaris" but i think that is a bit of a kludge.  

There are probably much more elegant ways which others will probably go into and they may have good ideas about combined words too.  

Btw i tend to use ' for sarcastic or cynical statements and " for quotes.  So 
"it 'should' work" = it probably wont work but 'experts' say it will.  
Regards from 
Tom :)

Hi All,

I saw over the last month discussions regarding special dictionaries.

What became of this?

How easy is it to create special dictionaries?

Are there any resources regarding their construction? I know you can import 1 by 1 but I have 20,000 items to add.

Also are composite words addressed in these dictionaries?

I have need for a dictionary that searches for and matches binomials.

Say, fictitiously, I have a plant called 'Eucalyptus vulgaris', I want the dictionary to see the binomial not 'Eucalyptus' or 'vulgaris' separately. Both these individual words are quite common but the combo is unique (i.e. their are multiple eucalypts and multiple species with vulgaris as a species epithet).
