New dictionary without LCID

Hi everyone. I would like to add my language (spellcheck, thesaurus, and hyphenation).

I did some research and found this repository: GitHub - ONLYOFFICE/dictionaries: The dictionaries of various languages used for spellchecking and hyphenation in ONLYOFFICE Document Server.

I managed to compile all the relevant files (because I’ve already done spellcheck, thesaurus, and hyphenation for LibreOffice and Firefox products).

But there’s one file that left me with a doubt: vec_IT.json (the language is Venetan), whose content is a json with only one parameter as an array: “code”.

I think it refers to thw Windows LCID code, and unfortunately my language doesn’t have one.

What should I do? It’s still possible for me to add my language?

Thank you

Hello @MauroTrevisan
Do I understand it right that your final goal is adding custom dictionary to the desktop app?

Hi, I would like to add a spell checker to OnlyOffice products that support it. Whether it’s a document editor or a presentation editor, I don’t think it matters. For example, I created an extension for LibreOffice, but it might work with other products as well.
Thanks for replying.

It’s already supported for server-hosted versions, please try following this guide: Adding custom dictionaries to the server version
However, if your final goal is the Desktop app, we’re still working on it, we’re planning to provide such ability.

Thank you.
The guide you posted still requires a valid LCID, which I don’t have.

Understood, we’re checking the situation. I will contact you as soon as possible.

Hi @MauroTrevisan
maybe it helps: Custom dictionaries? - #10 by edurbs

@edurbs Thanks for the reply but I don’t like “predating” other languages, and I’m also not confortable with this choiche.

Hello @MauroTrevisan
We have added your request to internal tracksystem ((improving the implementation of functionality for adding custom dictionaries). However, we’re still checking the situation with LCID. I’ll contact you as soon as possible.

Thank you very much!

Dear @MauroTrevisan
Sadly, there’s no workaround available at the moment. As a possible approach, try using your own random LCID while following our guide. Please let us know if it works.
On our side, we believe we need to focus on improving the functionality for adding custom dictionaries, and we’ll contact you once we have something to share.
