editors/openoffice.org-3, appeared to complete OK and I can
run /usr/local/bin/openoffice.org-3.0.0-swriter but attempts to
check spelling in a document with known spelling errors always fail
to find any errors.

The "Available language modules" section in Tools - Options -
Language Settings - Writing Aids" is empty, unlike my copy of
Openoffice 2.3 which has 3 entries in this section.

Should the language modules have been installed or have I missed
anything when installing the port?


Hi Mike,

Don't think ya missed anything, I am in the same boat...
I also compiled with the LOCALIZED_LANG=en-GB flag.

Anybody with a solution ? my spelling isn't that good so would need to
spell check my documents.

I have sr-openoffice.org-3.1.20081009/, i.e. openoffice.org-3-devel
compiled with

'editors/openoffice*' => [
'LOCALIZED_LANG=sr',
'WITHOUT_CUPS=yes',
'WITH_SYSTEM_FREETYPE=yes',
'WITH_SYSTEM_ICU=yes',
]

on FreeBSD 7.1-PRERELEASE #0: Sun Oct 12 (i386) and I have all 3
sections in Tools -> Options -> Language Settings -> Writing Aids.

The OpenOffice.org dictionaries page says:

IMPORTANT NOTE: From OpenOffice.org 3.0 on the dictionary wizard
is not longer available -- Dictionaries are now available via
the extensions repository.

[http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Dictionaries]

So, the OpenOffice.org-3 users are supposed to download .oxt files and
run them. However, I experienced the 'bad transfer url' problem with all
extension files; this was reported on FreeBSD mailing lists in the past
with no available solution.

Happily, the instruction from the same page (DictOOo-Wizard, intended
for OpenOffice.org-2) worked just fine in my OpenOffice-3. I downloaded

http://ftp.services.openoffice.org/pub/OpenOffice.org/contrib/dictionaries/dicooo/DicOOo.sxw

and it worked like a charm, installing Hunspell Spellchecker module and
dictionary files.

Hope this helps.
