বাংলা spell checking on OpenOffice.org

আমি এটা test করেছি আসলেই কাজ হয়। মজার বেপার হলো এই প্রথম আমি অংকুর এর কোন software test করার সুজোগ পেলাম।

Installation
1. Download hunspell-bn-BD-0.02.tar.bz2
2. Extract and copy "bn_BD.*" (2) files from the archive into your {OpenOffice.org installed folder}\share\dict\ooo\
3. Open the "dictionary.lst" file with any text editor {OpenOffice.org installed folder}\share\dict\ooo\dictionary.lst
4. Add "DICT bn BD bn_BD" after "HYPH af NA hyph_af_ZA" line in the "dictionary.lst" file.
5. The edited "dictionary.lst" file (the bn_BD part) should look like:

------------------------
HYPH af ZA hyph_af_ZA
HYPH af NA hyph_af_ZA
DICT bn BD bn_BD
THES cs CZ th_cs_CZ_v2
HYPH da DK hyph_da_DK
---------------------------

6. When finished, restart OpenOffice.org and the OpenOffice.org QuickStarter - if it was running.

Configuration
1. Start OpenOffice.org Writer.
2. "Tools > Options > Language Settings > Writing Aids > Available language modules > OpenOffice.org Hunspell SpellChecker > Edit > Language > Bengali (Bangladesh) > Spelling > OpenOffice.org Hunspell SpellChecker" should be available or enabled.

Usage
1. Toggle your keyboard layout and start typing Bangla in unicode.
2. If you use "Bengali (India)" {probably if using Windows XP}, then you need to change the text locale to "Bengali (Bangladesh)" by:
* Select the texts
* Right click on it
* Click "Character..."
* Select "Bengali (Bangladesh)" (it should also have a little check ABC beside it) from the "CTL Font > Language" drop list.
* Press "OK"
* It should spell check and highlight the mis-spelled texts.
* Right click on the highlighted mis-spelled words, it will show the suggestions.

Troubleshooting
1. You can set/change the Bangla font of the Menu in Windows by following steps:
* "Rick click on the Desktop > Properties > Appearance > Advanced > Item: Menu > Font:"
* Select a Bangla unicode font
* Press "OK"
* Press "Apply"
