I didn't find the other mail where you ask me about spellchecker. The FR 
one from Dicollecte will be ok for fr-CA too. The language tool 
shouldn't be add to the French version because it's very poor and not 
maintained, instead we are providing Grammalecte. A new version will 
come very soon, Olivier is working on it right now, so if you can wait a 
few days, you will have a high quality tool for grammar checking in French.
Also as I said, it would be great if you could add the file containing 
AutoCorretions in fr-CA local, because it will arrive empty otherwise.

From what I know there is no Chinese spellchecker because one sign is a 
word. Instead you use IME and the tool that comes with your distro.

If you're using SilverStripe we can use the translation page to achieve 
that, just as we have done with challenge.documentfoundation.org

If you speak about the FRl10n team, I'm alone in it actually. I've too 
much work currently with the FR version (we just update the full 
localization from OOo to LibO and it gives me some work) and other 
various tasks to take care of the site, but next week I can plan to have 
it on my agenda. And please, don't make me edit Google translation or I 
will be desesperate ;-)

Bernhard could have a look when it's final, he has written everything 
with Charles, so he will quickly see if something is wrong.

Kind regards
