[Bug 315562] Re: spell check uses wrong English dictionary

[2CV67]

Is the title of this bug maybe incorrect?

I think the real problem is "You can't select the default language you
want Gedit to use for spell checking".

Sounds like that was true in 2009 & I think it is still true today,
isn't it?

Seems to be to me using Ubuntu 12.10.

I live in France, most of my PC is in English, though the keyboard is
French, and I only want spell checking when I write in French.

Gedit decides I want English, for whatever reason (& I don't care what
reason) & I have to set French EVERY time I want to use it.

What I would like (and absolutely expect) is to be able to select
whatever language I want (in my case French) as default, then select
whatever other language I want (maybe German, English, USA or whatever)
if I want, occasionally, with fallback to French next time.

I certainly don't expect to be uninstalling dictionaries to trick Gedit
into doing something...

[George Fragos]

I'm not seeing what you do but I did uninstall British, Australian and
other English spell check dictionaries because I felt I didn't need them. I
only have the English_US dictionary. Note that Language Settings warns me
that I'm missing those deleted English dictionaries but my system still
functions correctly.

Have a nice day -- *George*

[Bug 315562] Re: spell check uses wrong English dictionary

[PJSingh5000]

I am experiencing this problem in Ubuntu recise 12.04 x64.

In the Language Support dialog from System Settings...
On the Language tab, I have (listed in order)...
English (United States)
English
I have clicked the Apply System-Wide botton.

On the Language tab, I have...
English (United States) selected in the drop-down menu
I have clicked the Apply System-Wide botton.

I restarted my computer, but gedit (version 3.4.1) still uses British
spellings in the spell-checker.

Interestingly, about:config in FireFox reveals en_AU for the
spellchecker.dictionaly value.  I don't know if these issues are
related, but I would expect gedit and FireFox to pull the settings from
the Operating System.

(Is Ubuntu using Australian spellings instead of U.S.?)

@Karl Maier: I've already updated my systems to Ubuntu 12.04 with Gedit
3.4.1 and it's works correctly. I thought this was fixed a way back but
I've no way to verify.

[Bug 315562] Re: spell check uses wrong English dictionary

[papukaija]

** Description changed:

  Spellcheck in Ubuntu 8.10's Gedit 2.24.2 is using the wrong English
  dictionary. For example, US English has "color" and British English has
  "colour." In my case I want US. If I look at Tools-> Set Language-> I
  see a list with English on top followed by six specific English
  languages and Turkish. If I select "English (United States)" I get the
  dictionary I want but only for this Gedit session. There is no way I can
  find to always use US English so every time I open a Gedit session and
- want to spell check I have to specifically select Language. I attempted
- to delete the other dictionaries in the Synaptic Package Manger but
- since the languages are part of an umbrella package I'd create problems
- the next time I wanted to  upgrade to a new Ubuntu release. I also tried
- the configuration editor but no parameter for language was available. I
- can't recall having to specify langauge with each Gedit session in past
- Ubuntu releases. There needs to be some way to set the default Gedit
- language for the spell checker plugin. My expectation is that once a
- laguage is selected it should stay the language until I manually change
- it.

Why is this marked as a wishlist item? I would argue that this is an
unexpected behavior and therefore a bug.

[Bug 315562] Re: spell check uses wrong English dictionary

[martron]

Well I messed around with gedit and managed to fix my problems to be 
manageable.  I noticed that gedit was complaining about the South African 
english dictionary whenever I used the spellcheck, outputting in terminal:
"error: duplicate REP tables used
Failure loading aff file /usr/share/myspell/dicts/en_ZA.aff"

So I uninstalled the South African (en_za) myspell dictionary through
synaptic (myspell-en-za) which also uninstalls some english
compatibility stuff but doesn't seem to be a problem for me.

Now gedit defaults to en-gb which is close enough to Canadian for me.

[Bug 315562] Re: spell check uses wrong English dictionary

[martron]

I have the same problem in Jaunty 9.04, Gedit 2.26.1-0ubuntu1.  Gedit
uses my selection of "English (Canada)" for the current file.  If I
autocheck spelling on files in other tabs within gedit, I have to re-set
the language.  Very annoying when I've got 10 LaTeX chapters going
concurrently.  A fix to this (and remembering to keep autocheck spelling
on) would be fantastic!

Thanks.

Yes. It's not only between sessions it doesn't remember language
settings. Every time you create a new document, you have to choose the
language you're writing in.

I can confirm that this bug still exists in Karmic 9.10 beta. Basically,
gedit doesn't remember the language settings between sessions, right?

I agree with the comments of this bug's reporter at

that bug #280315 is not the same as this bug. I have reopened it as an
issue in its own right, and changed its status to Confirmed. This bug
seems like it is also the same as upstream
