--- Comment #3 from VX <vangeli...@aol.com> --- > So your problem is that you select the Polish dictionary for install, but it > doesn't get installed? I. OK, I'll try to provide a complete procedure to reproduce the bug. Steps to reproduce: 1. Download LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download My OS is Windows 7 64bit Polish, so: LibreOffice Windows, version 3.6.4, Polish is chosen for me to download automatically. If you have a different OS, you should manually change system, version or language and choose Polish one for testing purposes. 2. Install the file 'LibO_3.6.4_Win_x86_install_multi' with user defined options. Do not change any settings but make sure that in 'Optional components'/'Dictionaries' there are German, Polish and Russian ones selected by default (I assume this is a default option when you choose the Standard installation as well and it doesn't rely on the operating system language settings on Windows but I might be wrong about it). Continue the installation with suggested settings. 3. When LO is installed, go to Tools (Narzędzia)/ Options (Opcje)/ Language settings (Ustawienia językowe) /Writing Aids (Pisownia) and make sure which dictionaries are installed. There are some English dictionaries (during the installation process LO claims to install Polish,German and Russian ones!) and - to my surprise - there is SL-Slovenian dictionary instead of PL-Polish one! But where are the dictionaries for Polish, German and Russian that were claimed to be installed during the installation process? 4. Open LO Writer and type a random polish word with spelling mistake. To my surprise this time the error was underlined (it wasn't in some previous versions that I tested before) and I was given suggestions to correct it. After selecting the underlined word I pressed 'F7' and I could choose the language for the text with the following options: Polish, German (3 variants of dictionaries), and Russian. Eureka! It seems that spell checker for Polish works with this version for me, and I've finally found the dictionaries that I had expected to find in Language settings/ Writing aids. So the issue is somehow resolved, but do you really think the current solution is perfect? A. If I could find these dictionaries in the Tools/Options/Language settings/Writing aids I could enable/disable it depending on my needs. But it's impossible with the current release. B. Pressing 'F7' key brings the window with various options for spell checking, but I can't find the dictionaries that were accessible from the Language settings/Writing aids menu, namely dictionaries for English and Slovenian to give some examples. C. Don't you think these two places for various Language tools should be combined into one for better consistency ?! D. Why some dictionaries are installed with default installation and user can't manage nor use them after installation (SL-Slovenian in this case - the installer didn't show it to be installed, so it's a bit surprising)? IMHO, LibreOffice language settings menu is completely unintuitive, messy and should be redesigned for better consistency (what is shown in the options during the installation, in the Language settings options and in the Autocorrect ('F7') window should be consistent and don't mislead nor surprise users. Furthermore, there is an Extension for LO called LanguageTool http://languagetool.org/ , which gives much better results for vast majority of the supported languages than extensions distributed with the LibreOffice installer. I know it requires Java, but I believe it could be better integrated and distributed with the LO installer. Is there any way to use LanguageTool rules with LO without Java? II. Another issue is that there is no a Polish dictionary pack in the LibreOffice Extensions repository, so it can't be installed with LO Extension manager, unless it's downloaded from Apache OpenOffice repository (see the link in my entry comment)and installed manually. Some users don't know about this solution and keep complaining about broken support for this. Thank you very much for reading and considering. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
