Hello, I would like to follow up on my message of 14 October about Aragonese language support and our Hunspell dictionary 0.3.0.
Our main question is how to make Aragonese available as a document language in Apache OpenOffice so that users can select it and use the spelling dictionary. Could someone advise on the appropriate next step, or point us to the relevant maintainer or issue tracker? The dictionary and OXT package are available here:https://github.com/Juanpabl/hunspell-an/releases/tag/v0.3.0 Thank you for your time, Juan Pablo Martínez El mié, 14 oct 2026 a las 3:14, Juan Pablo¡ Martínez Cortés (< [email protected]>) escribió: > Hello, > > I am Juan Pablo Martinez, co-author and maintainer of the Aragonese > Hunspell spelling dictionary originally developed with Santiago Paricio. > We have released version 0.3.0, following the orthography of the Academia > Aragonesa de la Lengua (AAL), with 21,060 dictionary entries and revised > affix rules. > > Project, source files and documentation: > https://github.com/Juanpabl/hunspell-an > > Release and OXT package: > https://github.com/Juanpabl/hunspell-an/releases/tag/v0.3.0 > > The dictionary retains its alternative licensing: > MPL-1.1 OR GPL-3.0-or-later OR LGPL-3.0-or-later. > The original authors' credits and full license texts are included. > > The OXT has been tested successfully in LibreOffice, and the separate > Mozilla dictionary packages have been tested in Firefox and Thunderbird. > However, in the Apache OpenOffice installation I checked, I could not find > Aragonese in the list of languages that can be assigned to document text. > I therefore have not yet confirmed that the dictionary works in OpenOffice. > > Could you please advise: > > 1.
