Re: Re: Dictionary en_GB - 2014-01-01 - Test version
+1. en_GB seems to work as expected. Pity we don't appear to have a history of the changes on the 'obfuscated' dictionary fork in Apache OOo to see what may have been lost by going back to the Mozilla version.

Re: Question regarding .AFF in en_GB dictionary

Re: Re: [ANNOUNCE] Availability of AOO-4.1.4 RC4
That's odd as 4.1.4-RC4 en-GB Windows install works fine for me (albeit on a W7 system that has never had AOO or OOo on it before). Have a look under Options > Language Settings > Languages and check that Default language for documents is English (UK). My fresh install correctly chose English (UK) for UI, Locale and Default.

Re: Re: Windows developent plan
You can specify a toolchain even in MSVC2017 to use such that the compiled exe still works on Windows XP; I do this for my own work as I see no reason to arbitrarily disbar its use on older systems - it's up to each user to decide whether to upgrade or not.
