LibreOffice Writer - the Dutch thesaurus

[Siesz52]

I have LibreOffice version 4.4.3.2, Build ID: 40m0(Build:2), Locale: nl_NL

I would like to know where I can find the Dutch thesaurus on my computer, so I can erase all the (many) non-existent ‘Dutch’ nonsense words that - apparently - have been generated by an automatic translation program.

Where can I find this thesaurus?

Hi siesz52

There are 2 sources:

1. LO install stock (used to re-stock the User Profile if removed)
2. The User Profile

You need first to locate the dictionary store within your Profile:

(menu):Tools→Options...→LibreOffice→Paths (look for Dictionaries)

For myself, under Debian 6.0, this is:

# profile
/home/alexK/.config/libreoffice/4/user/wordbook/standard.dic
# libreoffice
