Hunspell non-English dictionaries

January 09, 2019 — BarryK

I posted yesterday about non-English builds of EasyOS:

I have fixed LibreOffice, it now displays with translation.

Another problem is that Easy is built with Hunspell en_US dictionary. I am leaving that in, but now also automatically adding a language-specific dictionary.

Toward that end, have created PETs, see 'hunspell-<language>-<version>.pet' here:

http://distro.ibiblio.org/easyos/noarch/packages/pet/pet_packages-noarch/

These were created by opening up 'hunspell-<language>-*.deb' Debian packages. So, if you want to create another PET, go to packages.debian.org or packages.ubuntu.com, download the DEB, open it up, then use one of my existing PET packages as a template to guide you to create the new PET.
