[Bug 44580] share autocorrect replacement table for misc. language subgroups

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44580

--- Comment #16 from tommy27 <barta@quipo.it> ---
first of all we have to define the exact position of those autocorrect files.

default replacements are under ...\LibreOffice 4\share\autocorr

these are use for first time use of the autocorrect engine and are copied into
the user profile which should be under ...LibreOffice 4\user\autocorr

further edits (addition of new entries, removal or modification of existing
one) will affect the files in the "user" profile, not those under "share"

so in a french scenario, since you have an unlocalized version under "share"
which is acor_fr.dat, when you use it for the first time in a french(france)
document it will be copied under "user" as acor_fr-FR.dat and will apply just
to french(france) documents and not to other variants like french(canada).

if you wanna an unlocalized version of the french autocorrect list, you have to
manually copy the acor_fr.dat from "share" and place it under "user"

this will work and apply replacements either in french(france) or in
french(canada) documents.

the problem is that actually you don't see the unlocalized french list in the
autocorrect options dropdown menus, so further edits are not possible.

the code should be tweaked to display unlocalized language list as well.

actually you see:

French (France)      --> acor_fr-FR.dat
French (Canada)      --> acor_fr-CA.dat
etc. etc.

while you should be able to see:

French               --> acor_fr.dat
French (France)      --> acor_fr-FR.dat
French (Canada)      --> acor_fr-CA.dat
etc. etc.
