As the maintainer of the LibreOffice package, do you have any insights into
why the current version of hunspell-nl doesn’t work with LibreOffice but does
work from the command line?
work inside of LibreOffice.
$ hunspell -d nl test.odt
That one picks up nl.dic as intended because you actually specify it (and it
looks in /usr/share/hunspell).
testing that I can see is that the version in testing no longer ships
region-
specific symlinks to the main files (like nl_AW.aff). Are these files
somehow
important to LibreOffice is some way that I don’t understand?
But that seems the problem to me.
LibreOffice looks for xx_YY.dic.
The LibreOffice extensions work without that because they have a registration
mechanism telling stuff
(here [1] in upstreams dictionaries/ module) but that doesn't work for the
discovery mechanism.
See
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/lingucomponent/source/lingutil/lingutil.cxx#n63
In short: You most probably want the nl_XX.* symlinks.
Check in a running LibreOffice what it detects in "Tools -> Options -> Writing Aids" and
what it sees. I'd bet it didn't see Dutch ("Whatever")

Rene
