            Bug ID: 156194
           Summary: When no locale-specific thesaurus is available,
                    fallback to a language-only one
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: Inherited From OOo
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

Some languages have multiple local variants, e.g. en-US, en-UK, en-ZA etc. In
fact, they may have dozens more which don't have any specific definitions. And
if such a locale is used in LO, we don't get to use various mechanisms which
are currently locale-specific with no language-level fallback. One of these is
the Thesaurus.

A recent example has been en-IL: bug 156101. That one was solved by manually
adding it as one of the locales covered by en-US.

I suggest that, as a general measure, there will be a fallback to a
language-level default thesaurus/dictionary file/fileset, so that the same
procedure need not be repeated whenever one uses an uncommon locale we have not
specifically catered to.
