[Desktop-packages] [Bug 445863] Re: Spell checking doesn't allow US English words when using English language
Apparently Empathy is using Enchant for spell checking. It should properly inspect which dictionaries are installed and differentiate between en_GB and en_US and other dictionaries available. One can set manually /org/gnome/empathy/conversation/spell-checker- languages in dconf to en_GB,en-US,nl if you would like to check spelling in English (British), American and Dutch. However using multiple dictionaries at the same time is *NOT* recommended by the spell checkers, even though the options is offered with Enchant and underlying checkers. For proper spell checking, fix this bug as follows: 1) Offer in the Spell Checking tab in Preferences an option Check spelling as you type (boolean) which enables/disables spell checking 2) When this option is enables, a 1-out-of-N selection is enabled for all available dictionaries. The user can select only one a time. 3) Offer in the chat dialogues a quick way to switch between the available dictionaries if spell checking is enabled. Via right click, get immediately a list of available dictionaries at the bottom of the popup menu. Do not put these in a separate submenu in order to switch dictionaries quickly. This is stored the same setting as the setting in Preferences. 4) Later on, implement a default dictionary as above and a per contact or room dictionary setting that is stored separately. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to empathy in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/445863 Title: Spell checking doesn't allow US English words when using English language Status in Chat app, and Telepathy user interface: Confirmed Status in One Hundred Papercuts: Triaged Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “empathy” source package in Lucid: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: empathy When I have English selected for the spell checking language under Edit Preferences Spell Checking, US English spellings of words (e.g., favorite, behavior, and analyze), are marked as incorrect and their GB English counterparts (e.g., favourite, behaviour, and analyse) are suggested instead.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 445863] Re: Spell checking doesn't allow US English words when using English language
This bug still effects my in system running 12.04.1. When using spell checking in empathy, US spelling variants are marked incorrect while British variants are not (e.g., honor if flagged while honour is not). In System Tools - Language Support, English (United States) is at the top of the list in Language tab and selected in the Regional Formats tab, and I have tried selecting Apply System-wide in both tabs and restarting Empathy with no effect. gedit spell checking shows the language setting as English (United States) and seems to be behaving properly, so the issue doesn't seem to be in all Gnome programs. The workaround suggested at the top of this page doesn't work either. gconf-editor shows no entry at /apps/empathy/conversation/spell_checker_languages and adding an entry as described has no effect after restarting empathy. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to empathy in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/445863 Title: Spell checking doesn't allow US English words when using English language Status in Chat app, and Telepathy user interface: Confirmed Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts: Triaged Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “empathy” source package in Lucid: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: empathy When I have English selected for the spell checking language under Edit Preferences Spell Checking, US English spellings of words (e.g., favorite, behavior, and analyze), are marked as incorrect and their GB English counterparts (e.g., favourite, behaviour, and analyse) are suggested instead.
