“Grammar By” spell checking in LibreOffice 6.0 (German example)
User dictionaries of the free and open source LibreOffice office suite allow automatic affixation or compounding, supporting effective editing and technical dictionary creation in several languages. This is a general spell checking improvement of LibreOffice, but it can speed up especially the work of Writer users. Instead of manual handling of hundreds of correct word forms of a new word in a language with rich morphology or compounding, Hunspell spell checker will recognize the new user dictionary word with affixes or in compounds, too, based on a “Grammar By” model word. For a German example, in this video, the word “YouTuber” is one of the new words (missing from the American English dictionary), and “Kaiser” is the model word in the new “Grammar By” or in German, “Grammatik Nach” field (this more common word is part of the Hunspell spell checking dictionary). This way, the new word “YouTuber” will be recognized with suffixes of the word “Kaiser” automatically, too: YouTubern, YouTubers, YouTuberin, YouTuberinnen, also compound forms, like YouTubergruppe, YouTubergruppen etc. With “Grammar By” spell checking, it will be possible to create and handle technical dictionaries more easily, using existing user interface of custom dictionaries to switch on/off them, for example, medical, technological or other scientific dictionaries shipped with LibreOffice. Note: this feature works only in language-dependent user dictionaries, so it needs to create one (see in the video) or modify the language of an existing one.
