Updating dictionaries from the Extensions site to their latest version
should probably be (or become) part of the standard pre-release actions,
like updating localizations: it is a low-risk fix that fits with the
concept of "maintenance releases".
Unfortunately, we haven't done that step for 3.4.1 yet. And I know final
builds are starting soon, so we have little time (if any!).
An infrastructure fix that must be integrated for this is
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=119229#c9
I verified it yesterday and I can commit it to AOO34 from my working
copy. This will enable us to update dictionaries safely and will bring
the Spanish dictionary up-to-date (due to this bug, we shipped an older
version with 3.4.0).
Then I also have an updated Italian dictionary available, and possibly
there are more; I could volunteer to look at the Extensions site and
download the latest versions, but this depends on how much time we have.

Andrea.
