Description J.Borme 2014-02-02 16:00:04 UTC
app-dict/myspell-pt supports USE="preao" which enables to select between the classic Portuguese norm (< 1990) and the newer version. But there is no way to have both dictionaries at the same time on the system. Speakers of French and German do get the several dictionaries (.dic and .aff files) for each language norm (or blend of norms) they prefer to use:

* app-dict/myspell-fr: fr-classique, fr-moderne, fr-reforme1990, fr_FR
* app-dict/myspell-de: de_DE
* app-dict/myspell-de-alt: de_DE_1901
It possibly happens with more languages, but these are the ones I practice.

I'd like to get the same for pt_PT: both pt_PT dictionaries with a different name. The USE="preao" flag is fine, it could be use to set the symbolic link to the default dictionary that the user will get with the default configuration of usual graphical software.

(Note that I'm not talking about national variants like en_US vs. en_UK, but different ways to write the same language like you could have en_Shakespeare and en_Terry_Pratchett.)
