Hi,
does anybody know of a way to convert LibreOffice dictionary extensions (.oxt) into the .sox file format usable in FreeOffice? Unfortunately one of the languages I use (Finnish, non-natively) is not downloadable from SoftMaker's list of dictionaries, but a LibreOffice one is available:
https://extensions.libreoffice.org/en/e ... tor-voikko
and it would be a great help for me if I could use it in FreeOffice...
Much obliged for any ideas!

Regular Hunspell dictionaries can be converted, but Voikko cannot because it is not just a dictionary, but a software library.

thanks a lot for the fast reply, and sorry to hear that Voikko can not be converted into hunspell format ... perhaps this aspell Finnish dictionary
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/dict/fi/ ... -0.tar.bz2
(rather dated, but still better than nothing) can be converted to be used in FreeOffice?

P.S. I have read also this discussion:
https://sourceforge.net/p/hunspell/disc ... /97e4d78a/
and though not quite straightforward, Finnish hunspell dictionary is not completely impossible ...?

We can repackage existing Hunspell dictionaries, but we cannot convert other formats to create a new Finnish Hunspell dictionary. Nobody here speaks Finnish.

thanks again! I guess then for texts in Finnish I'll have to stick with LibreOffice for the forseeable future ...
