Priority: medium
Bug ID: 59987
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: : Availability of Language Support (for spellcheck,
thesaurus etc.) not visible to user
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Whiteboard: BSA
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 3.6.0.2 rc
Component: Linguistic
Product: LibreOffice
Problem description:
Adding Language support for other languages in LibreOffice is VERY easy on
Ubuntu OS.
-> Via the Ubuntu OS Language Support Settings.
PLEASE make this information clear to those (non-techie) Ubuntu users. It took
me (a non-techie user) TOO LONG to find this!
I actually installed OpenOffice in German to add Spellcheck functionality to my
Ubuntu OS, before finding out LibreOffice Language Availability is directly
accessible in the System Settings (I know, I am VERY non-techie).
This functionality is truly AWESOME, but the learning curve is TOO STEEP if you
plan to target a large audience of time-minded non-techie, noobish users like
me. I am an open-source enthusiast and hope by this contribution I can do all
the other non-techies using LibreOffice on Ubuntu a favor.
SUGGESTION: Add a simple text in LibreOffice reminding the User he can also add
Language-Functionality via the OS System Setting (in Ubuntu).
Steps to reproduce:
1. try being a noob
2. try adding German Spellchecking to LibreOffice via LibreOffice
3. switch to OOo because they have built-in Language functionality in their
installer
4. scratch your head, and admire your noobishness after finding out how to
actually solve your problem.
5. SUGGESTION: Add a simple text in LibreOffice reminding the User he can also
add Language-Functionality via the OS System Setting (in Ubuntu).
Current behavior:
Expected behavior:
Operating System: Ubuntu
Version: 3.6.0.2 rc
