Public bug reported: This is a bug with gnome-dictionary in Dapper.
I want to configure gnome-dictionary to look up German words, but I can't find out how to do it. Ideally there should be a long dropdown list of dictionaries to choose from -- English, French and Spanish, by themselves are not enough. Failing that, you should at least be able to look at the settings for the dictionaries that are already set up so that you can make an educated guess as to the correct settings for the dictionary you actually want to use. A button somewhere in the dictionary preferences dialogue that would take you to a website with a large directory of dictionary servers would also be very useful. ** Affects: gnome-utils (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Poor instructions for configuring gnome dictionary https://launchpad.net/bugs/70377 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
