Japanese dictionary for spelling checker

Requesting a Japanese dictionary for the spelling checker of OOo. There is a Creative Commons dictionary project (of Jim Breen) online that allows to adapt their dictionary to projects such as OOo. The project can be found on: http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/wwwjdicinf.html#dicfil_tag There are (converted) .dic files of the Jim Breen project available at: http://www.japaneselanguagetools.com/docs/WDIC.html This dictionary has been used in for example the extension Rikai-chan for Firefox (polarcloud.com)
This has nothing to do with scripting ab->tl: Please have a look and change to the right (Sub)Component
Request for enhancement. Thus setting owner to requirements. TL: However this one is a useless request since Japanese (and for that matter Chinese and Korean as well) can not properly be checked at all by a spell checker which just gets to see word by word. For those language the whole sentence needs to be analyzed. Thus something like a grammar checker should be appropriate. Sidenote: Unless you find someonein the community to take care of a grammar checker implementation for Japanese the chances for this one to get attended are rather slim. TL->mikeymikemike: Thus you should ask on the lingucomponent list if someone has the time and skill to implement that.
