[Slackbuilds-users] Dictionary localization of openoffice.org slackbuild

[Gunnar Florus]

Don't know about "most distros" - on Slackware there's no OpenOffice and thus 
no openoffice dictionary for Norwegian, Swedish or Danish.
These dictionaries are downloaded separately (from various locations) and have 
to be manually installed by fixing the dictionary.lst file in share/dict/ooo. 
The proposed addition to the openoffice SlackBuild is that it can automate 
this process for those who don't want to go through all the hassle manually
