[scribus] Scribus now ready for our language

[ZASKE Martin]

Yes, please!

If you could add Anii as one of the languages supported by Scribus (code
is "blo") then it would be available for selection in the "Document
Setup". So far I count only some 35 languages, and we would really
appreciate to get on that list.

Where do I need to register, beg, grovel, plead, fall to my knees,
compliment or bribe, to get Anii supported by Scribus please?

I noticed in 1.5.3 that Hunspell is handled as a plug-in and we got a
good grip on Hunspell. So I just found in the new help for 1.5.3 that it
has gotten really manageable: Have a working and well configured
Hunspell for Anii; install Scribus; it will find the dictionary or the
user will tweak some path-information and all-is-well.

So to allow this, we would "just" need our language added to the
available list.


Please check our the success stories 2016: The Anii people love Scribus!

thank you,

Martin
