Re: [libreoffice-users] How to define a dictionary for new language?

Hi Sergio

Ok, went back to look at this to try and help further, as I was able to 
load my countries two of the 11 languages I wanted to use, this way.

In "Tools - Options - Language settings - Languages" in the section 
"Language of" and field "Locale setting" can you see your created 
language/dialect you are wanting to use. And then further down under the 
section "Default languages for documents" and field "Western" or "Asian" 
or "CTL", can you see your created language/dialect there.

Likewise under "Tools - Options - Language settings - Writing aids", in 
the "User-defined dictionaries", you can click on the "New" radio button 
and add the name you gave the dictionary, then in the next drop-down 
menu "language" see if you can again locate your created language/dialect".

Hope this helps you to get further. If not then I would follow Tom's 
proposal in his reply.

Regards

Andrew Brown
