<a href="http://www.opentaal.org">www.opentaal.org</a>)<br>===============================<br><br>OPEN SOURCE SPELL CHECKING WORD LIST RECEIVES BLESSING FROM DUTCH<br>LANGUAGE UNION<br><br>Today (June 8th) the Dutch-speaking OpenTaal project (translation: "Open
<br>Language") publishes its word list that received the Spelling Seal of<br>Approval from the Dutch Language Union, the formal Dutch language<br>institute. The Seal of Approval indicates that the word list complies<br>
with the Dutch official spelling. "It is of great importance that we<br>received the Spelling Seal of Approval. It assures users of open source<br>software that they can trust their Dutch spell checker", according to
<br>Simon Brouwer, project leader of OpenTaal.<br><br>Since the end of 2005 the project OpenTaal has worked to improve and<br>extend an existing open source Dutch word list. The approved word list<br>contains more than 140.000
keywords. The word list is available in<br>packages that can be installed in OpenOffice.org, Firefox and<br>Thunderbird. The approved word list is available under a free license<br>(LGPL) and may be used by open source projects.
<br><br>More than 10 Dutch and Belgian volunteers, some of them linguists, are<br>working together in the project. The aim of the project is the<br>development of free Dutch language files that can be used by free and<br>
open source software projects. OpenTaal also works on a thesaurus and on<br>grammar checking. Anyone who wants to contribute to the goals of the<br>project is welcome to participate.<br><br>Background:<br>At the end of 2005 the Dutch Language Union published a new version of
<br>its Dutch Language Word List (also known as the "Green Booklet"). Its<br>spelling rules are compulsory for government and education in the Dutch<br>language area from August 2006. For this reason, the existing open
<br>source word list had to be updated. Also, the possibility arose to have<br>the language files certified by the Dutch Language Union. The OpenTaal<br>project has been founded to facilitate the collaboration of Dutch open
<br>source projects on this subject.<br><br>The project started as an initiative of the government ICTU-programme<br>OSOSS. From the beginning, members of the Dutch TeX Usergroup and of<br><a href="http://nl.OpenOffice.org">
nl.OpenOffice.org</a> were involved. In the meantime, other Dutch branches<br>of open source projects have started to participate. nl.Debian,<br>GNOME-NL, <a href="http://KDE.NL">KDE.NL</a>, Mozilla-nl are newly welcomed partner projects. The
<br>project also has a good relation with the NLnet foundation that has<br>supported the project.<br><br>Sources:<br>OpenTaal - <a href="http://www.opentaal.org/english.php">http://www.opentaal.org/english.php</a><br>Dutch Language Union (translation: Nederlandse Taalunie) -
