Dictionaries like
/usr/share/hunspell/es_ANY.aff
/usr/share/hunspell/es_ANY.dic
and
/usr/share/hyphen/hyph_sv.dic
- don't work. At least they are not recognized in LibreOffice.
+ are not recognized by LibreOffice, since their names don't include
+ country codes. The proposed uploads in this PPA:
- For instance, as regards the hyphen-sv package we need:
+ https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/ubuntu/lo-dicts-symlinks
- $ ls -l /usr/share/hyphen | grep sv
- -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 102979 jan 27 01:58 hyph_sv.dic
- lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 apr 25 18:11 hyph_sv_FI.dic -> hyph_sv.dic
- lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 apr 25 18:10 hyph_sv_SE.dic -> hyph_sv.dic
+ renames such files, and also adds symlinks in some cases for locales
+ with other country codes but the 'main' locale for a language.
+
+ [Test Case]
+
+ Example:
+
+ * Install the Swedish language via Language Support
+
+ * Start libreoffice with a Swedish locale
+ LC_CTYPE=sv_SE.UTF-8 libreoffice --writer
+
+ * Find that hyphenation is not available
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+
+ There is a drawback with this fix: For e.g. Spanish and Arabic users the
+ symlinks will add items in the spellcheck menus of other applications
+ but LibreOffice, where it would have worked without those symlinks.
+ OTOH, this is the way it has been handled in Ubuntu up to 15.10, so the
+ fix basically restores the previous behavior.
+
+ Other than that, the regression risk is low. This is only about files
+ (including symlinks) in the /usr/share/{hunspell,hyphen,mythes}
+ directories with limited affect on the system.
