How can I contribute to the LibreOffice dictionary?

Question

I always add words to my LibreOffice dictionary (standard.dic), but I would love to make those words available to other users by contributing to the project's dictionaries. Is there a way LibreOffice can produce statistics about how often a word is added in dictionaries from users wishing to help? Or is there a project I can join to participate in the dictionaries editing?

Answer 1

Libreoffice is not developed by the Ubuntu development community. This is the place to go if you wish to get involved in the development of Libreoffice:

Get involved in Libreoffice

Also Libreoffice uses Hunspell as the spell-checker. You need to research how Hunspell creates dictionaries.

Answer 2

The user dictionary is just for personal use. LibreOffice does not actually collect words for dictionaries, instead it just assembles existing ones. I think the best way for personal contributions is through Wiktionary from which maybe in the future additional dictionaries can be built.

Answer 3

The best way to add words to a dictionary, is to contact the author of the dictionary.
