Well, I should well imagine a dialog box with a list proposing the languages (perhaps the default value could be read somewhere in the configuration panel, if this is not too difficult), and a few checkboxes about the different tools that are generally available.

Supposing we want to inform about the size to download, and avoid to transfer this information for all languages, two dialog boxes can do it. The language would be selected in the first dialog box, and the second dialog box would present the different tools available for the selected language, with a checkbox in front of each, and the size on the next column.

That would be two dialog boxes instead of four, and if you accept the default values (all tools for the language selected in your configuration panel), you validate by depressing twice the Enter key. The next time you have something to do on it, it is to disconnect (could perhaps also be optionally automatic).


Something Microsoft is not too wrong on : the text designating a language is more logically written in that language, rather than in English.

"Parlez-vous French ?" "Je vous demande pardon ?"

Hi

I should suggest a modification about the download interface of the language tools. You are invited to choose your language three times, once for the spell checker, once for the hyphenator, and once for the synonyms dictionary. I imagine it is not the most frequent case that you choose a French dictionary for the spell checking, a Swedish tool for the hyphenator, and a German one for the synonyms.


this is by design
do not retreive any list if you're not interrested in french thesaurus (which is quite huge), so this is to save bandwith
you do not have this behaviour on off line packs
