bg_BG uses wrong encoding

[GunChleoc]

for the Bulgarian Dictionary,

SET microsoft-cp1251

needs to be changed to:

SET cp1251

Unless you want to use UTF-8?

any other (upstream) packages where a bug needs to be filed?

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj)]

I think this is the ultimate upstream:

http://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/bulgarian-dictionaries-blgarski-rechnici

@Mattia: What do you think? Would it be doable to edit that string in bg_BG.aff when building?

[Mattia Rizzolo (mapreri)]

I can add a patch to the Debian package, yes.

Actually, it's already done for a very similar issue, see https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-openoffice/libreoffice-dictionaries.git/commit/debian/patches?id=599eefaee32d3cdfba19f7394ef240386a44c32a - there I clearly failed in upstreaming it, so before applying such patch I'd like to see the issue brought to the right upstream, or if none is found (the link Gunnar pasted leads to what seems to be a dead end to me) to the TDF bug tracker.

I found this old big list of dictionaries on the OOo wiki https://wiki.openoffice.org/w/index.php?title=Dictionaries&oldid=229123#English_.28AU.2CCA.2CGB.2CNZ.2CUS.2CZA.29 which leads to https://sourceforge.net/p/bgoffice/ for upstream.

It is a whole big project about Bulgarian, the project compiles the .aff and .dic files from other sources. This is the very root https://sourceforge.net/p/bgoffice/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/bgoffice/bin/build_dictionaries/build_OOo_affix_header.pl#l55

Once fixed in very upstream, I guess the next place to fix it at LibreOffice https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/dictionaries/ which is probably the source for this package.

[GunChleoc (gunchleoc)]

I filed a bug at the SourceForge project:

https://sourceforge.net/p/bgoffice/bugs/6/

Let's see what they say. Upstream is always best for a fix.

Better use in all upper case characters:

SET CP1251

[Pander (pander)]

solved upstream in https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=117392

[Adolfo Jayme Barrientos (fitojb)]

Should be solved in libreoffice-dictionaries 1:6.1.3-1, which is now in Disco.
