Hi all,
See emails below.
I am just wondering if there is any simple way of managing Builtin.dic
as part of the NVDA locale?
Thanks,
Ronan

letters into multiple words?

Hello again,
We have discovered a partial solution to this issue.
Commenting out the second line in the builtin.dic file in the NVDA
folder solves this problem.
Would it be possible for builtin.dic to become a part of the NVDA locale?
For instance, a tailered version of builtin.dic could be used for the
Irish language in the locale\ga folder, that would be used instead of
the regular builtin.dic.
Or am I missing a simpler solution?
Many thanks,
Ronan
