Fedora is doing OK, but some other distros are breaking sh into a different package and having a single Serbian dictionary is really what I would like to have. So, do you think I should submit a patch to OOo to rename sh.dic and sh.aff to sr-Latn and fix dictionaries.xcu to map these new files to internal sh locale code? Then outside OpenOffice.org, at one point there will be system support to map sr@latin to sr-Latn dictionary, which will be just a bonus feature. Currently everything is broken for "sh".

Yes, with my related sr@latin patch for OOo OOo will default to sh for default language, but to enable correct system hunspell, etc. integration with OOo, firefox and everything else a few more bits need to be in place to get all of them to magically understand that sr-Latn.dic|aff should be the default filename to look for when in a glibc sr@latin locale.

Thu, 26 Aug 2010 19:56:55 +0000 http://blogs.linux.ie/caolan/?p=384#comment-144921 Is it now safe to rename Serbian Latin hunspell dictionary to sr-Latn and have it magicaly be linked with sr@latin glibc locale? For OpenOffice.org I beleive I can just map sr-Latn.dic and sr-Latn.aff files to sh OOo locale code in dictionaries.xcu. With the patch from the Issue #113496 OpenOffice.org will preselect its sh locale code as default document language when started with sr@latin.
