Fwd: Almost out of topic question (creating new hashfile for AbiWord)

Frank,
I did not explain myself well before. I am not willing to rebuild
existing dictionaries - no reason to do that. What I am trying to do
is to add a new language, Somali, that is of course missing as far as
I know. So if you know someone else who already worked on somali for
abiword, please forward me reference or directly somali.hash;
otherwise please see what you can do as for help.

I am working in localizing free software project in several african
languages, including the somali, with the hope to reduce the language
barrier in ICT access of african societies.

Thank you for any help that can provide.
Regards; Jama.

ps. the reason of which I am working with the old version of abisource
is that I modified the code of this version, and my will is that when
these are stable to port in the latest version of abi and then share
it as a contribution. I hope I explained my self better this time.
