This is a Marathi dictionary package for OOo spellchecker.
What I did is only making this GPL'ed dictionary packaged to be recognized by OOo3.0+, and I did NOT write this dictionary. I welcome any implovements.

The source word data came from http://code.google.com/p/hunspell-marathi-dictionary/
Since 23 May 2010, this includes the hyphnation dictionary which came from http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/hyph_mr_IN

Auto-correct extension
It is highly recommended that you also download and install the auto-correct list from...
http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/project/AutocorrectMarathi
This will automatically change the wrong spellings like "चीकाटीने" with the correct one "चिकाटीने".

Complete marathi wordlist

a) Double click on the file that you have downloaded in order to install it. Restart Writer.

b) Writer does not automatically understand the current language. You need to tell the software that the text is in "Marathi" language.
1. Choose Tools - Options. Go to Language Settings - Languages.
2. Select the check box "Enabled for complex text layout (CTL)
3. Under Default languages for documents, select Marathi in CTL drop down menu. If you mark "For the current document only", your choice will only apply to the current document. Close the dialog with OK.

c) Now you can see red underlines and choose the correct word that appears on right click.

The word list does not seem to have enough words. Can you create an extension with the Marathi words found on this link?
