I had some time to test the latest beta of KOffice.
There are some untranslated strings as usual (Lukas, may
I send the list to you?), and I ran into a few problems:

1) Hyphenation issues

Hyphenation is not working correctly for me. After a simple
paragraph reformatting (but sometimes even without that),
hyphenation starts to become corrupt. 
For example, if the right hyphenation of "almafa" is "al-ma-fa",
it's easy to get to a point where KWord tries to use "alm-afa".  

I used the same hyphenation file for testing in OpenOffice, and
there I didn't experience such problems.

Btw, the autocorrection data files are already in the $LANG$/data
subdirectories, so the hyphenation files should be moved there too.
  
Remark: to make the testing easier, a "Show this word's hyphenation"
function (accessible from the menu) would be very helpful.

2) Spell checker

The Aspell vs Ispell topic has been discussed earlier. Anyway,
the spell checking in KOffice right now seems to be fully broken
if an Ispell dictionary is selected. I compiled KOffice with the aspell lib
support turned on, however, for example, when I create a text label
in KPresenter, the automatic spell checker underlines the badly
spelled part (so the Ispell dictionary is active), but the
repair/replace dialog can't be activated at all.

3) Thesaurus

This is just a question: it's possible to load different thesaurus files
in the thesaurus dialog. Does it mean that from now on localized thesaurus
files can be created? In this case, a short file format specification would be 
necessary (or is it the same as in OO?).
