Yeah right, standardised codes are raelly useful to agree with other software.
I cannot translate the interface, because I dont speak the language. ;) Thats work for somebody else. But if I understand your mail correctly, there is no dictionary associated to the document language, but just the code for standardisation. thats okay. I saw, that there is no spell checker for the standardised writing languge rumantsch grischun in open office - it is available for microsoft - so there willl be no clash with another dialect. I like the idea to implement different spellings of rhaeto-romanic, but thats work for the next update or so... So I will use rm_CH for my dialect spell checker and choose rhaeto-romanic as document language. What would happen, if somebody writes a spell checker for another dialect and takes the ISO code rm_CH? It has to be incompatible with my one and not an update. The dic and aff file have to have the same name but the name doesnt have to contain something with the ISO code, right? Thank you!
