--- Comment #6 from Mike Kaganski <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Jens-D Doll from comment #4) > A) > But if you switch on spell checking, you expect the dictionary being there > if no error message appears. Otherwise you are cheated. No. I can have a text with part of text German, part English, part Russian; and I only know Russian. I enable the check, and I'm OK that only Russian part is checked. I would be annoyed, if all languages that I don't know were underlined (distracting me needlessly), or if warning appeared every time I open a text with Chinese or Hebrew or Malayalam. A document where only German test exist, and no dictionary is installed, is just a corner case of such a setup. (In reply to Jens-D Doll from comment #5) > A) > The menu tools->language->for all text-> contained German although the > German dictionary was not there. Indeed. The *list* is not limited by installed dictionaries. You are free to mark your text as *any* language (not only those that are listed there, but even those that are unknown to the program, using ISO language tags). The language is a property of the text, and may be important for screen readers, PDF annotations, etc. - definitely not limited to spell check. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
