[Aspell-user] Using openOffice dictionary

[Alexandre Rodrigues]

Is it possible to use openOffice´s dictonary with aspell 0.60?

Since the portuguese dictionary for aspell is very poor and openOffice´s has 1.100.000 words that i would like to use.

 

The protuguese dictionary for openOffice comes with 2 files (pt_BR.dic and pt_BR.aff)

i have created the following files:

 

1 - pt_BR.dat

name pt_BR
charset iso-8859-1
affix pt_BR
affix-compress true

2 - pt_BR.multi

add pt_BR.dic

3 - renamed pt_BR.aff to pt_BR_affix.dat

 

when i tried to use aspell i got the following error

 

Error: The file "c:/Progra~1/Aspell/lib/aspell-0.60/pt_BR.dic" is not in the proper format.

 

then i tried to convert this file to the aspell format using

 

C:\Program Files\Aspell\bin>aspell --lang=pt_BR --dont-validate-words create master ./pt_BR < pt_BR.dic > pt_BR.rws

 

and i got the error below:

 

Error: c:/Progra~1/Aspell/lib/aspell-0.60//pt_BR_affix.dat:2430: The condition "denegrir" does not guarantee that "1r" can always be stripped.

 

i´m stuck and dont have any other ideas

 

Does someone have any suggestions?
