Can not install only one dictionary
I have a sample file of spell checker that I downloaded from here...
https://testme162.s3.amazonaws.com/tamil_spell_chek.oxt
when I try to install it, I get an error as shown in this image...

I have successfully installed other language dictionaries before. Only "Tamil" has this error. Can anyone explain the reason?
There is a mistake in two of the .xcu files in the extension. As indicated in the error message the root element is called compotant-data, however this should be component-data (see, e.g., https://github.com/sil-car/lt/blob/4d325d8eba1e638d252772befa3fe82fe28d6acc/oxt/en_english/dict-en-20230201_lo/dictionaries.xcu for an example for English).
A .oxt file is actually a normal ZIP archive, so to fix this mistake you should unzip the file, locate tmp.xcu and dictionaries.xcu, then change the second line from the top and bottom to
<oor:component-data xmlns:oor="http://openoffice.org/2001/registry" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" oor:name="Linguistic" oor:package="org.openoffice.Office">
and the line at the bottom to
</oor:component-data>
in both files. Then you can re-zip the whole folder again, if your ZIP utility produces files with the extension .zip then you can just rename that to .oxt. Then you can install the spell checker normally:
