--- Comment #18 from Eyal Rozenberg <eyalr...@gmx.com> --- So, having gone through the comments, there's something I don't understand. Why does the locale even define the choice of spellchecking dictionaries, at all? First, and in principle - all dictionaries should be active/in-use, with the language/language-variant of a stretch of text deciding which dictionaries apply to which part of the text. See also bug 148257. And in this idealized world, if some text is in, say, Arabic (Iraq), then it would get both the general Arabic spell-checking dictionary used for it, and the specific Iraqi dictionary. On the other hand, once you support multi-level dictionaries, you also need to support "anti-entries", i.e. a word might be valid in Arabic generally but a local variant would forbid it. I'm guessing we don't have that? Anyway, continuing with my ideal-world example: The user would want/need the ability to tweak the defaults. That would mean a list with checkboxes, and a drop-down list box above it for choosing which language / language-variant you want to tweak dictionary choice for. There you could decide you want to disable or enable some dictionaries (and there are also special dictionaries like "technical" which may be relevant to multiple languages). And in all of the above, the choice of Locale and of UI language have absolutely no bearing on anything. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
