Problem: The EN-GB thesaurus is missing for LibreOffice.
To observe:
1. Fresh install of 21.04, set Location to United Kingdom.
2. Start LibreOffice Writer, choose the Tools menu.
3. The "Thesaurus" item is greyed out.
Root cause: there is no mythes-en-gb package available (but there is
mythes-en-us).
Workaround:
Give British English speakers the American English thesaurus i.e.
symlink the US thesaurus by the GB one.
cd /usr/share/mythes; ln -s th_en_US_v2.dat th_en_GB_v2.dat; ln -s
th_en_US_v2.idx th_en_GB_v2.idx;
Note: this report and tested workaround is on a fresh install of 21.04,
although this problem has been extant for years. There appears to be no
GB version of the thesaurus. However, as UK-english and USA-english
language is so similar, it would be OK to provide the thesaurus from the
US package in the meantime as a symlink.
For others who find this bug report while searching the same issue, note that
en-us is "english united-states"
en-gb is "english great-britain",
-uk is "ukraine".
(Don't look for "english united-kingdom", en-uk, which doesn't exist).
