Description of problem:
Even though there is a norwegian spell-checker avalable from
openoffice.org (the website), no norwegian spell-checker is avalable
using the openoffice.org packages from Fedora. Neither "Bokm�l" or
"Nynorsk" is avalable. Both should be included.
 
I have added the spell-checker manually myself, following instructions
from the webiste, but this is needlessly hard. Please include
Norwegian spell-check, I'm almost as bad at spelling in my native
tounge as I am in English. 

Here's links to the release notes and -zip files with the dictionaries
themselves.

Comment 1 Kyrre Ness Sjøbæk 2004-05-02 12:03:19 UTC
Yes i agree. As we applied Fedora Core 1 at a Norwegian school, 
having to install norwegian (and back then almost every 
spell-checker) on each computer was a nigthmare. Yes we made a script 
for it, but... And then the update came and we had to do it all over 
again... 
 
BTW. i'we heard that the norwegian openoffice team have a better 
spell checker in the (windows) version they gave to all students in 
akershus (larger dictionary). Take a look to 
 
http://www.openofficeorg.no 
 
(the page is in norwegian) 
 
If it is interesting, i may try to get a copy of the norvegian 
language file they use and mail it to you. (i've heard that it is 
about 5 MB - so it will not be possible to just attach it.) 

Comment 2 Kyrre Ness Sjøbæk 2004-05-06 18:43:05 UTC
OK. Iv ripped the directory containing the spell-checkers (the whole 
directory - maybe you find something else interesting) from one of 
the windows versions. They do got a 5 MB dictionary for bokmål, and I 
guess it's better than the one found at linguecomponent. 
 
Here it is:

Don't think there should be any problems with licensing and stuff. 
More info: http://www.afk-support.no/cd/ (for those who read 
norwegian) 
 
I strongly hope that you will include those, or at least those found 
at lingucomponent.openoffice.org 
 
Just to be shure i've included every scrap of files (i found) on the 
cd as a zipped attachment. Note that this cd also included sun java, 
acrobat reader, and norman anti-virus.
