Add to dictionary in Nextcloud Office

[karlemilnikka]

Has anyone got “add to dictionary” to work in Nextcloud Office, running on Nextcloud AIO? The option is missing when right-clicking on words that are indicated to be misspelled.

I haven't tried but I do not see why it should behave differently then a normal collabora container since it is basically the official one...

So I would suggest reporting this to upstream collabora or asking the question there.

Thanks @szaimen.

A Collabora maintainer has answered that the feature is intentionally removed. CollaboraOnline/online#5238

@karlemilnikka, another developer also answered in CollaboraOnline/online#5238 (reply in thread) :

These words should be saved in the integrating environment (eg. Nextcloud), the feature would need to implemented on that end, and as an interface to Collabora Online. There are also tricky situations, because originally, in LibreOffice these additions are saved to the user profile, but in this case not only a single user can work on a document, so storing these per user on the file host might not make much sense.

Could we expect any progress on your side? Being able to add new words to a custom dictionary is a core feature when editing documents to me.

@P4z I’m not part of the Collabora or Nextcloud team, so I have to redirect the question to @szaimen.

Thank you. I'm sorry for the mistake.

This needs to be implemented in collabora afaics. So the linked thread is probably correct
