This has been going on for far too many years. I believe it is imperative that we do not flood with MANY dictionaries when we just want one. It is extremely impractical to have to scroll the long menu items to find the desired dictionary.
When installing Spanish dictionary such as myspell-es, it installs TWENTY-ONE Spanish dictionaries from diverse countries. This is in contrast to the English dictionaries where each dialect has their own package (myspell-en-au, myspell-en-us, etc) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/663032 Title: Spelling check shows too many dictionaries Status in GNU Aspell: New Status in MySpell: New Status in “espa-nol” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: firefox When you right click a text box Firefox gives you the option to choose the dictionary for the spelling check. The problem is that if you speak languages like english (US variant, UK variant, Australian variant..) and spanish (Spain, Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua...) the list gets HUGE!
