Re: [libreoffice-l10n] locale for an_ES

Hi Juan Pablo,

You have two options. One is to include an_ES dictionary into
LibreOffice source. There is a dictionaries module in git, technically
it is possible to add any language to it that LibreOffice can handle.
These dictionaries will be part of releases. On Windows installer it
will be installed for all users by default, regardless of the UI
language. On Linux and Mac dictionaries are in language packs. Here we
will have a little problem with an_ES, because we don't have an_ES UI
localization, so there is no an_ES language pack. We can maybe put it
into Spanish language pack, but I'm not sure about the reactions of
Spanish users. If it's a politically hot issue, we may want to avoid
that - but I don't know anything about it, I leave that to you. The
other option is to make an extension, upload it to
extensions.libreoffice.org and let your users know about that
extension. I can help you in both tasks, either in integration or in
making an extension. Please let me know what you think.

Thanks,
Andras
