Bug ID: 167534
Summary: LibreOffice cannot use system dictionaries without
country codes
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.2.3.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Linguistic
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Description:
On systems with system Hunspell dictionaries, LibreOffice cannot use
dictionaries without country codes in their names. For example, nl_NL.dic
functions correctly, but nl.dic does not.
Steps to Reproduce:
Further information is available in the following Debian bug report:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1109253
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1109355
Actual Results:
Historically, the previous workaround has been to create system symlinks with
country specific codes. For example, LibreOffice on Debian lists the following
available Spanish dictionaries.
Spanish (Argentina)
Spanish (Bolivia)
Spanish (Chile)
Spanish (Columbia)
Spanish (Costa Rica)
Spanish (Dom. Rep.)
Spanish (Ecuador)
Spanish (El Salvador)
Spanish (Guatemala)
Spanish (Honduras)
Spanish (Mexico)
Spanish (Nicaragua)
Spanish (Panama)
Spanish (Paraguay)
Spanish (Peru)
Spanish (Puerto Rico)
Spanish (Spain)
Spanish (Uruguay)
Spanish (Venezuela)
But all of these dictionaries are actually symlinks to a single dictionary,
which does not produce region-specific spell checking, creating confusion for
users.
Expected Results:
The fix would be for LibreOffice to be able to read a Hunspell dictionary
without a country code (somehow it isn't currently able to do so) and display
that as an available spell-checking option:
Spanish
This way, country/region specific spell checking dictionaries would only be
displayed when a dictionary is actually available that can provide
country/region specific spell checking.
