> BTW: was all text entered in this thread spell checked ? ;-) Clearly the OP used a French spelling dictionary when originally reporting this bug (^:
Note that the majority of the non-English sites I come across seem to specify English as their language. Developers are not always aware that there is a setting that they need to change, and some tools are hard- coded to output a template which specifies English, so that the site owner cannot override it even if they wanted to. Hence there needs to be (a) a manual override for the spelling dictionary; and / or (b) perhaps a heuristic to determine what language a page "really" is in, to cope with the real world as well as the W3C specifications. I suppose (b) needs to be a separate bug report, once this one is fixed and deployed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/303269 Title: Automatically select language for spell check based on user input To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/303269/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
