Description Marco A.G.Pinto 2024-04-12 04:51:39 UTC
Heya,

Could LibreOffice be enhanced to support a custom number of words to be checked from extensions like LanguageTool?

Two words seems enough for regular dictionaries, but LanguageTool has multiword files where numerous words there have three or more words.

An example of this is the Portuguese language, we have tons of words in multiwords.txt with three words:
Teoria da Informação
Métrica da Informação
etc.

Also, would it be possible to improve LibreOffice so that LanguageTool could change words to italic, for example, for foreign words?

Thanks!
