Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: which of my American, British, and Canadian English dictionaries are now online

Sorry, I cannot take credit for the word lists.  They are open-source 
and come from a Linux repository source for a different type of system 
dictionary.  There were list for American English, British English [not 
Oxford], Canadian English, French, Spanish, and Italian.

I just converted these lists to something that LO could use.  To be 
honest, if you know what to do, you can create your own specialty 
dictionaries.  You just take one from the correct language as a model 
and make yours using that model.  It also helps that have open-source 
components to work from.

My issue was I could not find any "easy" documentation to help me do the 
work.  I found a few hints, but that was all.  So I had to do some trial 
and error for the non-word-list items.  I wanted to be able to have a 
person install all my dictionary files then use the enable/disable 
options to choose which dictionary you wish to use at any given time.

My next "job" will be to see how I can add to the thesaurus data for 
some of the words that are not included.  The thesaurus I currently use 
deals with American, British, and Canadian English words and phrases, 
about 145,800 of them.  There are a lot of phrases and abbreviations in 
the thesaurus.  I want to see what can be done to make it include others 
that might be needed or wanted by our LibreOffice users.

Below are some of the word listings in the thesaurus I am using.  This 
is an indexed list so changing the number of lines for a word in this 
list will reflect/change the indexed line number of the index file.  I 
will have to create/use a database style of software to alter the 
thesaurus system.  For the "1st baron verulam" it starts on line #10337 
of the thesaurus data file, while "ocher" starts on line #11507218.  If 
I add lines to any word[s] between these two, all of the indexes will be 
mess up from the first addition on.  As for "ocher", it also shows 
"ochre" as a different spelling for it.
