The instructions in that blog are exactly the same as what you told me to do. I again followed them to the letter just as what you had earlier told, and got the same result: nothing happened. And the default language for CTL text is set to Hindi. The only strange thing is that on the blog, as well as in your earlier posts to this list, it written that: typically the dictionaries go in /usr/lib/openoffice/share/dict/ooo But in my computer (Feisty), the "dict" folder is completely empty. There is no "ooo" folder, nor any files in it. Whereas it sounds from your description as well as that on the blog, that there should be a "ooo" folder, and should be various files inside it among which one should be the dictionary.lst file. But there was no such file. As I say, the "dict" folder was empty. So I had created a file named "dictionary.lst" and pasted the line "DICT hi IN hi_IN" in it. And in that "dict" folder I also pasted the files hi_IN.aff and hi_IN.dic. But since nothing happens when I type in Hindi in OO i.e. the red underline does not appear for mis-spelled words, and Hindi is not listed as a language available in the spellcheck dialog. You furthermore mention that dictionary.lst is a list of all dictionaries which would be available to openoffice. You mentioned that there are normally a variety of languages listed in this file, such as "as en_US.dic", "hi_IN.dic", etc. But I did not even have a file named "dictionary.lst" in that folder. What to speak of such a named file, having a list of varieties of languages dictionaries. I know you mentioned that you use Debian Etch, rather than Ubuntu Feisty or Gutsy. Do you think that in these it may be different? Otherwise, why is it not working for me? |
