Add to Software Using Hunspell

Open gamag opened this issue 8 years ago • 5 comments

To make this more usable, we should add the dictionary to software that supports hunspell:

  • [X] OpenOffice/LibreOffice: Extension available here: https://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/kartuli-ortograpiuli-leksikoni-georgian-spell-checking-dictionary
  • [ ] LibreOffice: We could submit a patch for it to be directly included in the program (https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Dictionaries)
  • [X] Firefox and other Mozilla products: https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/georgian-dictionary/
  • [ ] Chromium / Google Chrome: They take their dictionaries from OpenOffice. Somebody needs to inform them about the OpenOffice extension (https://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/editing-the-spell-checking-dictionaries).
  • [ ] Opera: I don't know where to submit the dict.
  • [ ] Various Linux distributions: We probably need a maintainer for each of them.
  • [ ] Other: What and how?

Feel free to contact developers and ask them to include the dictionary in their software. Point them here or to the OpenOffice extension liked above.

I'm happy to extend make bundle to package plugins for other software - just tell me how you need it.

  • [x] Chromium / Google Chrome: Do they take their dictionaries from OpenOffice?

Yes, they did, check the Chromium git, make a git clone via terminal, compare their dictionaries and OpenOffice's. Many dictionaries in Chromium are said to be GPL. The ex-Google Keyboard/GBoard uses the same dictionaries from Chromium. https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/deps/hunspell_dictionaries/

  • [x] macOS: It works well with your dictionaries. It can be replaced in ~/Library/Spelling/ and enable Georgian dictionary at the app System Preferences/Keyboard/Text/Spelling

So where did you get your word list from - I'm a bit confused, since you now write GBoard has no support for Georgian (?)

Yes, they did, check the Chromium git, make a git clone via terminal, compare their dictionaries and
OpenOffice's

Do you have an other source for this than comparing? (since, if I upload my dict to Mozilla and to OpenOffice, they'll have the same dict - and concluding from this that Mozilla took it from OpenOffice would be wrong)

We can't include this dictionary in macOS - users have to install it on their own or Apple needs to include it...

Firefox and other Mozilla products: Upload to mozilla addon page

Additionally, if the dictionary is released under MIT license, it can be shipped in Firefox (after upload it on amo).

GBoard has Georgian dictionary, but Chromium doesn't have it. GBoard uses the same dictionaries of Chromium.

Dictionaries.io can do it.

Great! I've checked and everything is ok. https://addons.mozilla.org/ka/firefox/language-tools/
