Hi LibreOffice folks,

The English New Zealand dictionary,hyphenation and thesaurus V1.0, was released as an extension for LibreOffice (V3.5, V3.6...) on 15 Oct 2012.

Project Description: Based on the 2008 English New Zealand dictionary by Geoff Palmer. I have added the NZ entries to the current LibreOffice UK dictionary and replaced the US thesaurus with the UK one from http://www.weeklywhinge.com / http://brit-thesaurus.sourceforge.net.


With a LibreOffice application open, select: Tools --> Extension Manager... --> get more extensions online... --> Firefox opens on the web-page... extensions.libreoffice.org --> Extensions --> In the search box enter "New Zealand"

Once it has download and been added as an extension, then close the LibreOffice application and re-launch it to commence having the NZ dictionary feature available.

The downloaded file is: dict-en-nz-2012-10-15.oxt

cheers,
Ian.

PS: It appears to be a politically correct dictionary. If you spell the name of a city at the end of State Highway 4 as "Xanganui", it will prompt to correct the spelling with "Wanganui" or "Whanganui".
