Dictionaries always can be installed by Dictionary Wizard. I point some 
problems and can we solve them.
One of the problems is that with English install of OOo comes not only en_XX 
dictionaries but others as well. Also I saw that de_XX dictionaries are under 
GPL. Is this license compatible so these dictionaries to be bundled with the 
install?
The other point is that people expect when they get language pack for OOo or 
main install in their language to get dictionaries for that language as well. 
So my question was is it possible to bundle dictionaries with language packs. 
It can be made some checkbox, checked by default, and the user, if he wants, 
to uncheck it and not to install the dictionaries with the language. I 
propose also in main language installs to come with equivalent dictionaries 
for that language. Main English install - en_XX dictionaries. German 
install - de_XX dictionaries and etc.
