Sardisson: split most of the 2.x-related stuff out
2009-01-21T00:57:21Z
<p>split most of the 2.x-related stuff out</p>
<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''''N.B.''' This article covers the steps required to activate writing tools in '''NeoOffice 2.0 Alpha through NeoOffice 2.2.5'''; for the steps to use in '''NeoOffice 3.x and later''', see [[Activating Dictionaries and Configuring Spellcheck]], and for the steps to use in '''NeoOffice 1.2.2 and earlier''', see [[Activating Dictionaries in NeoOffice 1.x]] instead.''<br />
<br />
NeoOffice will correctly configure your preferences to use the language tools (spell check, thesaurus, etc.) for the language that is set as the default in the System Preferences when you launch NeoOffice, provided you have the appropriate writing tools installed. <br />
<br />
Note that '''all the writing tools''' (dictionary, thesaurus, hyphenation) '''may not be available for all languages'''; some languages may have only one (usually the dictionary), and some may not have any tools at all.<br />
<br />
If you want the '''NeoOffice user interface''' (and in some cases the Help) to be in your native language, you must '''install the appropriate [http://download.neooffice.org/neojava/download.php#installlanguages language pack]''' separately; see [[Changing the Language of the User Interface]] for more information.<br />
<br />
==Activating the Writing Tools for Your Preferred Language==<br />
<br />
NeoOffice 2.2.2 will automatically use the native Mac OS X spelling dictionaries if they match the language of the text to be checked. See [[Activating Dictionaries and Configuring Spellcheck#Issues_with_Locale_Variants_of_Languages|Issues with Locale Variants of Languages]] below for more details.<br />
<br />
====Languages without a Mac OS X dictionary====<br />
If Mac OS X does not have a spelling dictionary for your language, NeoOffice will use an OpenOffice.org dictionary, if installed. <br />
<br />
'''For NeoOffice 2.x:''' To download OpenOffice.org spelling dictionaries and other writing tools, choose {{menu|Install new dictionaries…}} from the {{menu|Wizards}} submenu of the {{menu|File}} menu, then follow the steps in the wizard.<br />
<br />
Because the OpenOffice.org writing tools authors and their communities are always updating these tools, you should run the Dictionary Wizard each time you upgrade to a new version of NeoOffice.<br />
<!--<br />
===NeoOffice 2.1===<br />
NeoOffice 2.1 ships with the same set of writing tools that the standard build of OpenOffice.org supplies (see the list below). Other writing tools can be downloaded and activated as described later in this section. In some cases, NeoOffice 2.1 can also use the tools you installed in NeoOffice 1.x. <br />
<br />
US English, UK English, Austrian German, Swiss German, and German all have the dictionary, thesaurus, and hyphenation pre-installed in NeoOffice 2.1. Dictionaries for Hungarian (also hyphenation), Italian (also hyphenation), Dutch (also hyphenation), Swahili, and Thai, thesauruses for Czech and Slovak, and hyphenation for Danish and Russian are also included. <br />
<br />
In NeoOffice 2.1, the download and activation of writing tools uses the standard cross-platform OpenOffice.org Dictionary Wizard method. Choose {{menu|Install new dictionaries…}} from the {{menu|Wizards}} submenu of the {{menu|File}} menu, then follow the steps in the wizard.<br />
<br />
Because the writing tools authors and their communities are always updating these tools, you should run the Dictionary Wizard even if your language's writing tools were pre-installed (or if you upgraded from NeoOffice 1.x).<br />
--><br />
<br />
===Installing Third-Party Dictionaries for OpenOffice.org===<br />
Due to licensing problems and other issues, there may be dictionaries for some languages that are not available via the dictionary wizard. If you find a dictionary for your language in either Hunspell (preferred) or MySpell format, it is possible to use this dictionary with NeoOffice.<br />
<br />
'''For NeoOffice 2.''x'':''' To install the downloaded dictionary (in .zip format), <br />
*Go to the {{Menu|File}} menu, click on {{Menu|Wizards}} and choose {{Menu|Install New Dictionaries...}}<br />
*Choose an interface language (e.g. English)<br />
*Click on {{Button|Start DicOOo}}<br />
*Check the {{prefName|Off-line language pack installation}} box<br />
*Click on the {{Button|Browse...}} button to select the downloaded zip file for the desired dictionary<br />
*Click on {{Button|Open}} then on {{Button|Next>>}}<br />
*Select the chosen language, and click on {{Button|Next>>}}<br />
**You will have to repeat this last step in each of the next two panes to install a thesaurus and hyphenation dictionary.<br />
*If you do not want to replace the exisiting dictionaries, check the {{prefName|Do not extract dictionary archives that are already installed}}.<br />
*Click on {{Button|Next>>}}<br />
*When the installation is finished, click on {{Button|Finish}}<br />
*If you are done installing dictionaries, close the DicOOo file.<br />
<br />
<!--Old Method<br />
# Quit NeoOffice if it is running<br />
# Copy the zip file into NeoOffice's <tt>share/dict/ooo</tt> folder<br />
#* <tt>cp ''foo.zip'' /Applications/NeoOffice.app/Contents/share/dict/ooo</tt><br />
# Unzip the dictionary<br />
#* <tt>unzip /Applications/NeoOffice.app/Contents/share/dict/ooo/''foo.zip''</tt><br />
# Add the new dictionary to the master <tt>dictionary.lst</tt><br />
#* <tt>open -a TextEdit /Applications/NeoOffice.app/Contents/share/dict/ooo/dictionary.lst</tt><br />
## Add a new line at the end of the file, in the format: <tt>DICT ''ab'' ''CD'' ''foo_bar''</tt><br />
##* <tt>ab</tt> is the [http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/http/related/iso639.txt ISO language code] for your locale, e.g. ''en'' for an English-speaking locale<br />
##* <tt>CD</tt> is the [http://www.chemie.fu-berlin.de/diverse/doc/ISO_3166.html ISO country code] for your locale, e.g. ''AU'' for Australia<br />
##* <tt>foo_bar</tt> is the "root name" of the <tt>.dic</tt> and <tt>.aff</tt> files, e.g. ''en_australia'' for our hypothetical <tt>en_australia.dic</tt> and <tt>en_australia.aff</tt> (you can find this name by watching the output of the unzip command in step 3 above)<br />
## Save the modified <tt>dictionary.lst</tt> (making sure it remains plain text if you use TextEdit)<br />
# Restart NeoOffice and enjoy your new dictionary!<br />
:See the [http://lingucomponent.openoffice.org/manual_instal.html OpenOffice.org manual installation instructions] for more information.<br />
--><br />
====Known Sources of Third-Party Dictionaries====<br />
<br />
* [ftp://foolab.org/pub/software/arspell/ Foolab]: Arabic (عربي) [early version, only 71,000 words]<br />
* [http://www.ivrix.org.il/projects/arabic/ Ivrix Project]: Arabic (عربي) [very large list, based on Buckwalter but converted by a non-Arabic speaker; reported to be slow and consume 200 MB of RAM]<br />
* [http://hunspell.sourceforge.net/ Hunspell SourceForge Project]: Amharic (አማáˆáŠ›), Azerbaijani (AzÉ™rbaycanca), Bengali (বাংলা), Kashubian (Kaszëbsczi), Persian (Ùارسی), Hindi (हिंदी), Mongolian (Монгол), Marathi (मराठी), Oriya (ଓଡ଼ିଆ), Punjabi (ਪੰਜਾਬੀ), Tamil (தமிழà¯), Uzbek (Ўзбекча), Vietnamese (Việt ngữ). '''Note''' that only the downloads labeled "pack" appear to work with the steps listed above.<br />
* [http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Dictionaries OOoWiki]: Assorted (many of the tools listed there are already available using the Dictionary wizard, but if your language is not in the Dictionary wizard, check the OOoWiki.)<br />
* [http://linguistico.sourceforge.net/wiki/doku.php Linguistico]: Italian (better quality than those available from the Dictionary Wizard)<br />
*[http://www.antidote.info Antidote] Very complete French set of writings tools. Antidote installs easily in NeoOffice 2 (Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw). Antidote is shareware (about $69).<br />
<br />
==Enabling Writing Tools for Additional Languages==<br />
<br />
To install and activate writing tools for additional languages in NeoOffice 2.0 Alpha, simply repeat the steps in the previous section for any additional languages you wish to use.<br />
<br />
==Disabling Writing Aids for Languages that aren't Needed==<br />
<br />
#Under the {{Menu|NeoOffice}} menu choose {{Menu|Preferences}}.<br />
#In the dialog that appears, doulbe click on {{Section|Language Settings}}<br />
#Cllick on {{Section|Writing Aids}}<br />
#In the panel that appears, highlight (but don't uncheck) {{prefName|NeoOffice Mac OS X Spellcheck with Hunspell}} and click the {{Button|Edit button}} to the right of the this item.<br />
#In the dialog that appears, select a language from the drop down list and uncheck {{prefName|NeoOffice Mac OS X Spellcheck with Hunspell}}. <br />
#Repeat this step for all languages that you want to disable and click {{Button|Close}} when you are finished.<br />
#To save your changes, click {{Button|OK}} and the dialog will close.<br />
