OpenOffice spell checking dictionary

Hello, 

As I wrote some text (in french),I realized some names weren't recognized by the spell check of OpenOffice, and thus were underlined as misspells. I was wondering which dictionnary OpenOffice uses, and after some reasearch I found this website (https://grammalecte.net/) claiming that it is the one used by OpenOffice, LibreOffice, Firefox etc. But when I compared these softwares, the spell check seems different (some minor differences when I checked with first names).

Can anyone know the spell checking database/dictionary used by OpenOffice for the frecn language ?

Thank you in advance !

The French dictionary bundled in AOO is this one:

https://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/french-dictionaries

However, you can see that it is from 2013.

If you want to try out the version from grammalecte just download and
install it:

https://grammalecte.net/grammalecte/oxt/Grammalecte-v0.4.10.7-py27.oxt

This version is compatible with AOO 4.1.x.
You may have to remove the other bundled dictionary first.
