[Bug 445863] Re: Spell checking doesn't allow US English words when using English language
Apparently Empathy is using Enchant for spell checking. It should properly inspect which dictionaries are installed and differentiate between en_GB and en_US and other dictionaries available. One can set manually /org/gnome/empathy/conversation/spell-checker- languages in dconf to en_GB,en-US,nl if you would like to check spelling in English (British), American and Dutch. However using multiple dictionaries at the same time is *NOT* recommended by the spell checkers, even though the options is offered with Enchant and underlying checkers. For proper spell checking, fix this bug as follows: 1) Offer in the Spell Checking tab in Preferences an option Check spelling as you type (boolean) which enables/disables spell checking 2) When this option is enables, a 1-out-of-N selection is enabled for all available dictionaries. The user can select only one a time. 3) Offer in the chat dialogues a quick way to switch between the available dictionaries if spell checking is enabled. Via right click, get immediately a list of available dictionaries at the bottom of the popup menu. Do not put these in a separate submenu in order to switch dictionaries quickly. This is stored the same setting as the setting in Preferences. 4) Later on, implement a default dictionary as above and a per contact or room dictionary setting that is stored separately. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to empathy in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/445863 Title: Spell checking doesn't allow US English words when using English language To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/empathy/+bug/445863/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 445863] Re: Spell checking doesn't allow US English words when using English language
This bug still effects my in system running 12.04.1. When using spell checking in empathy, US spelling variants are marked incorrect while British variants are not (e.g., honor if flagged while honour is not). In System Tools - Language Support, English (United States) is at the top of the list in Language tab and selected in the Regional Formats tab, and I have tried selecting Apply System-wide in both tabs and restarting Empathy with no effect. gedit spell checking shows the language setting as English (United States) and seems to be behaving properly, so the issue doesn't seem to be in all Gnome programs. The workaround suggested at the top of this page doesn't work either. gconf-editor shows no entry at /apps/empathy/conversation/spell_checker_languages and adding an entry as described has no effect after restarting empathy. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to empathy in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/445863 Title: Spell checking doesn't allow US English words when using English language To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/empathy/+bug/445863/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I ran into this on a fresh installation of Natty via the alternate iso. Took care of it this way: Click on Applications in the Dock. Type Language in the text field at the top Click on Language Support (blue UN flag) If you are asked about installing more software do it. Fiddle with the controls until you have the language you want and click: Apply System Wide.

[Bug 445863] Re: Spell checking doesn't allow US English words when using English language
There is at least an option in gedit's language settings (Tools Set Language...) to use US English, which isn't the case in empathy. That said, gedit's generic English option doesn't recognize US English- specific words either, which runs counter to how I would think it should work: English should recognize all English dialects, and the specific entries (English (United States), English (Australian), etc.) should only recognize their specific words. From a 'Joe User' standpoint, if I select English or US English during the install, these bits should be configured accordingly. From an interface standpoint, shouldn't the language options set in System Administration Language Support be obeyed by all Gnome applications, by default at least? Mine is currently set to English (United States) and gedit and empathy are both ignoring it. -- Spell checking doesn't allow US English words when using English language https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/445863 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to empathy in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
