new flags WIP
Heya, everyone,
This ticket is related to:
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=167649
It appears that my commits (releases) “ruined” the original .AFF files.
I was on Libera channel trying to get additional information about it and the
feeling I had is that the original .AFF files had morphological information
regarding words (link provided by Cloph):
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/dictionaries/+/25348
It is impossible for me to go back to the old .AFF files, since in these 14 or
15 years of development I have fixed tons of bugs in flags and added new
features and new flags.
Could I suggest that the “AM” flags could be made independently of the .AFF
files?
What I mean is that instead of having each .AFF file loaded with “AM”s they
could be a file in the dictionaries folder and apply to all five variants of
English.
On 1-JAN-2026 I will “take over” U.S. + Canada + Australia and I have been
heavily patching flags to deal with the U.S. verbs and alike.
One year later, 1-JAN-2027, I have planned the 5th generation of English
dictionaries.
I am attaching here the 2026 WIP files for you to see.
Please help find a solution, but the best way would be a separate file for all
five variants.
Thanks!
Your friend,
>Marco A.G.Pinto
