how to install Spell check dictionary not packaged as LibreOffice .oxt extension
I’ve spent 2 hours trying to find information how to install Azerbaijani language dictionary from this link https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Language_support_of_LibreOffice without any success.
All info is about how to install language extensions, but the problem is according to info from above mentioned page this dictionary is ‘not packaged as LibreOffice .oxt extension’
The fun thing is I’ve managed to install the same dictionary to WPS Office, but I can’t do it to LibreOffice.
Can you help me?
My OS is Windows 10 ×64.

Azerbaijani Latin
entry). Evidently this locale / language are still are work in progress. .xcu
and .xml
files in the /share/extensions/
directory (and sub-directories) and changing “en-AU” to “az-AZ” but my basic efforts were not successful. It should be possible though, at least for the dictionary (the interface is a separate matter). That is why extensions were introduced. The old method (in OpenOffice.org 2.x) was quite tricky and many users complained that they could not add languages they needed. Extensions are supposed to make the process of installing as easy as possible (just double-click an extension file and confirm installation), as well as flexible: each user in the system can have his own set of dictionaries (and other extensions). Of course, that is true when a proper extension is available, which is the case of many languages. It looks, however, that nobody cares about making an extension for Azerbaijani. Sad, but true.
I tried to make an extension but it does not work. I suspect that there is a problem about setting the right locale, but I am not really experienced in packaging.
