Re: Contributing a hyphen dictionary for Bahasa Melayu/Malay

Hi, Sharuzzaman,

Clarification: All the way back when it was version 1 or thereabout of Open Office I started 
working on the hyphen dictionary - by the time I stopped about a year later I've already have 
outlined all the work needed, so when I looked again at it mid this year I can and have followed my 
notes to finish it. It's finished, or at least theoretically usable. 

What I need is technical help - right now its a plain text file since have no idea how to integrate 
it to Libre Office or even where to upload it. (Do I just attach it to the mailing list?). 
Furthermore, and this is something I've been wondering about, it will need to be tested against a 
lot of texts to make sure it's actually usable, and that is not something I have. Is it better to 
have a small pool of testers (your team, if they are available) first or do we just put it out and 
fix it along? 

A major issue is the fact that I've completely ignored proper nouns by design. Adding them would be 
fairly easy, if tedious, but a list of common proper nouns would be necessary if you have it.

Hi Bashirah,

I'm from Malaysia, and a member of Malaysian Open Source community.

Long time ago, we already embarked on the project to provide native Malay translation of the menu, 
and also dictionary for OpenOffice, but it was never completed. The project is l10n-ms in 
sourceforge.

If you need any help, do let me know. I will gather back the team, and hopefully we can complete 
this.

I'm also not familiar with the technical setup. I'm sure someone in this list would be able to help.

Thanks.

Hi, a few months ago I picked up a really old project of mine. My notes were enough to complete it, 
but now it needs testing and I'm at loss as to how proceed. Please assume a very rusty skillset.
