Thanks for the link Hans. I added this macro in LibreOffice:

------------------------------------
REM  *****  BASIC  *****

Sub Main

End Sub

Sub add2dic

oDok = StarDesktop.getCurrentComponent()
oViewCursor = oDok.getCurrentController().getViewCursor()
oCur = oViewCursor.getText().createTextCursorByRange(oViewCursor)
if oCur.IsCollapsed then
   if NOT oCur.isStartOfWord() then
      oCur.gotoStartofWord(FALSE)
   endif
   oCur.gotoEndofWord(TRUE)
   sWort = oCur.getString
else
   sWort = oCur.getString
end if
if (Len(sWort) = 0) or (inStr(sWort, " ") > 0) then
   exit sub
end if
oWBListe = createUnoService ("com.sun.star.linguistic2.DictionaryList")
oWB = oWBListe.getDictionaryByName("standard.dic")
oWB.add(sWort, FALSE, "")
End Sub
------------------------------------

But nothing happens when I run this macro. A file should be created I guess, but where?

I use Zemberek in LibreOffice, perhaps that is the problem.

Most Windows users prefer Microsoft Office speller. Is it planned for CT in any of the future versions?

Other Java based programs - WordFast, OmegaT, SwordFish and Heartsome, does any of them support MS Office spell checker?

Wordfast and OmegaT don't (I don't know about the other two).

Cheers,

I had one of the versions of the macro versions working at that time. You'll have to fiddle around, like I had ;).

About support for Word: very unlikely, since that would break the cross-platform concept.

You could team up with some colleagues and let someone compile your own Turkish dictionary for Hunspell. There is a guy at Curacao that offers this as a service. Shouldn't be that expensive and perhaps you can sell it.

Michael is doing this for UK English, since he couldn't find a decent speller.

Well, at least: I've advised him to do so ;). He doesn't always follow my suggestions, much like my girlfriend.
