Heya,
I only maintain en-GB and slightly improve en-ZA since the South African guy no longer maintains his language.
I will fix it for en-ZA soon.
The other languages are maintained by Kevin Atkinson.
Please open a ticket in Kevin's GitHub: https://github.com/en-wl/wordlist
If by May Kevin doesn't fix it, I will change his files in my GitHub personally, since May and November are the releases for the next major version of LibreOffice.
Thanks!
Hello @marcoagpinto,
I've figured out en-wl/wordlist is abandoned for several years now, so chances for any changes to be merged there are not very high. Also, I've found there is a related issue which is 8 years old:
From that issue I've learned that it would be better to add β
rather than '
to WORDCHARS
.
Since β
is already in WORDCHARS
for en_GB
for a while, I believe adding it to other affix files is safe enough. And I don't think it's worth waiting any longer, so I hope this PR might be merged eventually.
Thanks!
Heya,
That is what I tell to everyone who complains about en-US: βWrite on Kevin's GitHub and good luckβ.
I will add it tomorrow manually, I don't like to merge pull requests.
On 1-FEB, it will go live.
Thanks!
The task has been increasing since the dictionaries' maintainers are vanishing from the globe, it is even me who is fixing en-ZA.
It is released and fixed:

Hello @marcoagpinto,
Thank you for maintaining this set of dictionaries! ππΌ
Due to the lack of the
β
character inWORDCHARS
, Hunspell can't properly handle words with apostrophes.As you can see, it works only for
en_GB
since there is a kind of apostrophe inWORDCHARS
already.Best regards!
