Re: [libreoffice-l10n] locale for an_ES

Juan Pablo,

I think that the extension should be there anyway, independently of 
including it in the es_ES language pack. Send me the .dic and .aff files 
and I can do it.

I think that including it in the es_ES language pack is a good idea. It 
could be done also for other Spanish minority languages who have not 
translated the UI, but which have dictionaries.

Cheers,

Javier
