To write a spellchecker for Sursilvan, one of the varieties, is the topic of my bachelor thesis. I have the wordlist and i am writing the affixfile at the moment. It already works with words which are not replaced completly but just a few character of it. How can I replace words?
Hello Maria, OpenOffice relies on Hunspell for its spell checking engine, so Hunspell is the right place for asking these questions.
For sure, from the point of view of a pure spell-checker, you can add "am" as a separate word than "be". This is what we do in the Italian spell-checker http://extensions.openoffice.org/node/1204 (you will see separate entries for "sono" and "essere", that mean "am" and "be" respectively, since they have no common characters in Italian either).
This may be inconvenient when one wants to add a thesaurus though, since it breaks the link between "I am" and "to be".
When you are done with your dictionary, please make sure to inform us again, and we can assist you in packaging it as an OpenOffice extension and making it available at the web site linked above.
