Orthos/Ορθός

Orthos (Greek Ορθός) - correct, or (in our case) writing correctly or orthography.

This project contains Greek dictionaries and a thesaurus that are primarily used in creating extensions for LibreOffice and OpenOffice. It was started as a fork of the LibreGreek GIT project at https://github.com/squibbylinux/LibreGreek. Read the README files there to find out more about the background of the project and the origin of its parts.

It also provides dictionary add-ons for Mozilla projects, Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey.

See the README file in orthos-<ver>.tar.gz file for more details.

If you want to install a speller and thesaurus in LibreOffice or OpenOffice just get one of the files:

  • orthos-el_GR-(version).oxt - Greek dictionary
  • orthos-el_GR-en_US-(version).oxt - Greek/English dictionary
  • orthos-el_GR-el_CY-(version).oxt - Greek/Greek Cypriot dictionary(experimental)
  • orthos-thesaurus-(version).oxt - Greek thesaurus of synonyms

and install using the extensions manager. You can install more than one dictionry but have only one active at a time. It is best to get these files from the latest release which is the most stable.

If you want to install for Firefox/Thunderbird get one of the xpi files.

**Note that the files were named orthosgreek-<version>.oxt/xpi for versions 0.3 and before.

The el_GR version contains a Greek dictionary. The el_GR-en_US version is a combined Greek/English spelling dictionary that is very usefull to anyone that works with English and Greek multilingual documents.

Starting with version 0.4.0 dictionary add-ons for the Mozilla projects (Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey) are also provided as xpi files. Install this using the corresponding add-on procedures of the Mozilla project.

The orthos-<ver>.tar.gz archive file is a complete archive of the Orthos project. It is primarily useful to those that want to expand on the project or see how the extensions are created. It also contains more elaborate explantaion of how this project was put together.

The extensions were lightly tested against LibreOffice 4 and more extensively on LibreOffice 5. No testing has been performed on Libreoffice 6 but extensions seem to be compatible.

Please submit any bugs, suggestions and comments by using the tickets system on Sourceforge.
