Hi Giovanni,

I would like to have a Guarani dictionary/spelling/autocorrect in the
future. I was wondering how to do it. Is it different for every OS
(linux/win/mac)? Is it a Pootle project?

No, these are different projects, which have nothing to do with Pootle.

LibreOffice, just like a bunch of software, uses Hunspell and/or MySpell
(http://hunspell.sourceforge.net/) dictionaries for spell checking. This
is regardless of the operating system in use. Making a spellcheck
dictionary is quite a big task by itself. It seems there is (or at least
has been) a project on SourceForge to create such dictionaries for
Guarani: http://sourceforge.net/projects/guarani/. You may try
contacting the people behind that project to see if they have produced
anything of use. Even if not, perhaps they would be interested in
restarting.

If there is a spellchecker dictionary available for Guarani, with an
acceptable license, it might be possible to convert its files into
MySpell/HunSpell and use them.


Hyphenation dictionaries are another thing: they use a different format
and different data than the spellchecker dictionaries. I know for a fact
that TeX hyphenation dictionaries might be converted to a format
suitable for LibO, but perhaps it's not the only possible conversion. If
there is nothing to convert, such dictionary would have to be done from
scratch.

By the way, hyphenation dictionaries can also be used in other projects
(e.g. OpenOffice, Mozilla)


Autocorrect is a third type of dictionary, which is also different than
the other two. I think creating this dictionary might be the easiest
task of the three: I have written a basic online tool in PHP which could
help you crowdsource suggestions for autocorrect. At least that's what
it does for me.

Hope this helps. Sorry for not posting any links. I hope someone better
familiar with our wiki can post pointers to further relevant information.

Regards,
Rimas
