Could you please keep the sarcasm away and at least give me a benefit of
the doubt that I have looked at this problem with some minimum care? But
I will spell it out for you: I know it is not installed. So, where can I
find it in Debian? Does Debian even have it, even though it has en_ca
locale? What am I missing here?

Hello,

In Debian Lenny, I have my locate set as en_CA.UTF-8. However, when I
use OpenOffice.Org, on US American dictionary seems to be used. If I
select the language to be EN_CA from the Tools->Language menu, the
dictionary does not work.

So, how do I get the the Canadian dictionary to work OOo in Debian Lenny?


I have these installed:
$> dpkg -l *myspell* | grep ^i
ii libmyspell3c2 1:3.1-18 MySpell spellchecking library
ii myspell-en-gb 1:2.4.0-2 English_british dictionary for myspell
ii myspell-en-us 1:2.4.0-2 English_american dictionary for myspell

Thanks in advance.


If I recall correctly, for the longest time one just didn't exist for
OOo. OpenOffice.org offers the following page (disclosure: I haven't
tried it):


http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Dictionaries

I'd be interested in knowing how you make out.

Cheers,
