Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 81711
tagalog dictionary cannot be set as default language for documents
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:13:09 UTC
i'm not sure whether this would be a duplicate of 76233 or 75782 after installing tl_PH and adding: DICT tl PH tl_PH to the dictionary.lst, the tagalog dictionary is still not present in: tools>options>language settings>languages>"default language for documents" to workaround this problem, i still use the old trick of assigning a language i don't use to the tl_PH.dic file, as in: DICT en GB tl_PH so that choosing english(UK) as the default language will allow me to spell check tagalog written documents. as of OOo 2.3 on winxp, tagalog is already present from within the spell checker, which is i think, what issue 76233 was referring to... but it left out the above problem (i think) please refer to our discussion in the forum for more details (and screenshots!) http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=61604&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 i have also posted in the above mentioned issues. please check them. thanks.
Just found this one. Confirmed. TL->ER: Eike can you please take care of this when you are back from vacation? Thanks!
TL->gvsa123: the dictionaries available for spell checking etc. do have nothing to do with the list of languages in this dialog. However even though I'd known about restrictions for the list of languages in the locale settings list box I was unaware of a similar issue for the default document language list. I had expected them to be the same as the ones in the Format/Character dialog...
TL->ER: Looking a bit closer in this I found there are quite a few other languages not listed as document default languages as well. Is this a bug?
Created attachment 53703 [details] screenshot and comparison of setting default language and spell checking
sorry i lost the comments.. TL> i understand now that the issue is not with the spell checker. should the subcomponent be changed? not sure if this is a genuine bug, but one might naturally expect to be able to set a language as default for documents if that user can use it to check the spelling of documents. this still persists in beta. should a different issue be filed?
.
TL->gvsa123: there is no need for a different issue.
Please don't change the version entry. It indicates in which version the issue has been found. If it hasn't been fixed it it pretty logical that it will still occur.
TL->OF: Sorry. Please consider this a problem of the openoffice.org tooling since changing the component also required me to set the version entry without letting me know it was already set.
In order to make the language available as default document language (and in number formatting) locale data must be contributed. Setting keyword 'needhelp' for this. For details please see the locale data DTD http://l10n.openoffice.org/source/browse/l10n/i18npool/source/localedata/data/locale.dtd?view=markup and as a sample locale data file for example the en_US locale http://l10n.openoffice.org/source/browse/l10n/i18npool/source/localedata/data/en_US.xml?view=markup You can easily generate a locale data file for your locale with the generator available at http://www.it46.se/localegen/ Please read the comments in the DTD file mentioned above for details. Thanks Eike
