It is possible.
For example my m26 SO installation comes with 3 English, 3 German, a
French and a Spanish dictionary extension pre-installed.

I just asked a colleague and grabbed this from the file
setup_native\source\packinfo\spellchecker_selection.txt

# This file defines the languages of the spellchecker, that are
# included into the language specific installation sets.
# First column: Language in the installation set.
# Second column: Assigned spellchecker languages. Comma separated list.

af = "af,en-US"
cs = "cs,en-US"
da = "da,de,en-US"
de = "de,en-US,fr,it"
en-US = "en-US,es,fr"
es = "en-US,es,fr,pt"
et = "en-US,et"
fr = "en-US,es,fr"
hu = "de,en-US,hu"
it = "de,en-US,fr,it"
ja = "en-US"
ko = "en-US"
lt = "en-US,lt"
ne = "en-US,ne"
nl = "en-US,fr,de,nl"
pl = "de,en-US,pl,ru"
pt-BR = "en-US,es,pt"
ru = "de,en-US,ru"
sk = "en-US,sk"
sl = "en-US,sl"
sv = "de,en-US,sv"
sw = "en-US,sw"
th = "en-US,th"
zh-TW = "en-US"
zh-CN = "en-US"
zu = "en-US,zu"

AFAIK the locales listed on the right are probably just the names of the
packages and NOT the actual content though. Right now I do not know
where those are matched against the actual dictionary extensions.

The dictionary extensions itself should be the ones found in the
dictionary project. E.g. currently in dictionaries\wntmsci12.pro\bin.

Thomas

This has been tracked on this issue
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=89121

In order for the spell checkers to be packaged with the version, you
have to provide the source of the extension, see the discussion we had
on this issue :
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=91426

Hope this help :)
Kind regards
Sophie

Some short remarks:

"de" and "us" are multi-locale extensions, they contain writing aids for
three locales: de-DE, de-AT, de-CH and en-US, en-GB, en-ZA. The reason
is that parts can be shared for all included locales (e.g. the
hyphenation dictionaries).

All other extensions are single-locale. In most cases the used locale is
obvious, "zu" is zu-ZA, "pt" is pt-BR, "sw" is sw-TZ.

We are currently preparing the "vi" extension, so vietnamese builds in
future will contain en,vi,fr dictionary extensions by default.

All other localized builds or language packs would get only the english
package.

Everything can be discussed and changed: we can change the list, we can
add more locales and of course we would welcome to get more dictionaries
and thesauri. :-)

Ciao,
Mathias

Please don't reply to "nospamformba@...".
I use it for the OOo lists and only rarely read other mails sent to it.
