Create Opensource Khmer Spelling Checker for Microsoft Office with Hunspell

Create a functional spelling checker for the Khmer language for Microsoft Word using Hunspell (specifically .NET Hunspell).

The Khmer language currently has a spell checker that we developed for OpenOffice using Hunspell. We developed the spell checking dictionary to help ensure high quality resources were being produced by our organization as well as to help others spell check in Khmer (it is available for free download here: [login to view URL])

But most people use Microsoft Word and it is hard to always install OpenOffice on their computer (and OpenOffice sometimes has bugs working with long documents in Khmer). There is no viable solution for spell checking Khmer in Microsoft Word which makes our editing process more difficult as well as more difficult for all Cambodians.

We need a programmer with experience with C++ to create a solution to integrate the Khmer Hunspell dictionary into Microsoft Word as a spelling checker (a .net Hunspell exists here [login to view URL]). We realize this could be a very difficult project, but as we are a non-profit, we do not have much funds to use for this project.

Basically, what you need to do is as follows:

· Use the .NET version of Hunspell

· Need Visual Studio 2010+ to develop a VSTO Word application Add-In.

· Create a Word Add-In, that addresses all DOM objects in a given active Word document.

· Also need a way to identify if a word is Khmer or non-khmer (via UNICODE codes of characters).

· Loop over all Khmer text in the active document and check the spelling via Hunspell library referenced in the Add-In project.

The resulting program will be given out for free download to anyone who desires to use it, and we would like the code to be open-source if possible as well so that other languages can benefit from the work.

Thank you for your consideration.

It was brought to our attention that C++ programming was not what was needed for this project, rather C# is needed (We are not programmers ourselves so did not realize it at the time we created this job).
