            Bug ID: 118601
           Summary: word in Greek with all letters capitalized is correct
                    with or without accent (diacritical marks)
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: Inherited From OOo
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Localization
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: apiuano-lobugs at yahoo.gr

Description:
In Greek, words are considered orthographically correct even if they do not
have accents (diacritical marks). LibreOffice reports them as non
orthographically correct.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Write any accented word in Greek: διακριτικός
2.Write the same word with all caps with accented letter: ΔΙΑΚΡΙΤΙΚΌΣ
3.Write the same word with all caps with non accented letter: ΔΙΑΚΡΙΤΙΚΟΣ

Actual Results:
LibreOffice report the non accented word with all caps (ΔΙΑΚΡΙΤΙΚΟΣ) as
orthographic error.

Expected Results:
A word should not be reported as orthographic error in both cases (with or
without accent)


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
Deactivating check for capitalized words is not a solution since the
orthographic check is needed. An algorithm that will convert accented letters
to non accented and will consider both words (with or without accent) as
correct, needs to be implemented. I do not know about other languages, but it
is possible that still exist some languages that the capitalized version of
words is not considered as error with or without accent.
The problem is also bound to the "all caps" option. Most people want these
"temporary,just for print, transformations" to drop the accent, since they
prefer capitalized words without accents.
