[Bug 1161675] Re: LibreOffice lacks support for documents' spell-checking in Ubuntu for most languages and dialects
I've found after two installs on other machines (one Ubuntu, one Mint), that I had to do a full reinstall of LibreOffice before I could get the workaround above to correctly get the dictionaries to work. I'm pretty sure that wasn't the case above, so some people may not find that necessary, but having the dict-* files in place before doing a reinstall definitely means one can have working dictionaries. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1161675 Title: LibreOffice lacks support for documents' spell-checking in Ubuntu for most languages and dialects To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1161675/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1161675] Re: LibreOffice lacks support for documents' spell-checking in Ubuntu for most languages and dialects
I looked at this again, since I'd been installing libreoffice from their website while bug 739184 had yet to be fixed. Copying over the dict-* directories from C:\Program Files (x86)\LibreOffice 4\share\extensions of a Windows partition to /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/extensions and restarting LibreOffice completely fixes this. It would seem that these dictionaries are left out of the Ubuntu package deliberately, perhaps under the belief that aspell or myspell procides sufficient support, which it might do for some dialects (maybe it's even better, but I haven't left my installation in a useless state long enough to do comparisons), but neither supports the range of LibreOffice's own dictionaries (though maybe there's in fact an overlap, I don't know). If it is indeed deliberate, all that's needed to fix this is to stop doing it! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1161675 Title: LibreOffice lacks support for documents' spell-checking in Ubuntu for most languages and dialects To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1161675/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1246583] Re: All hotkeys of LibreOffice don't work in non-English keyboard layout [ubuntu 13.10]
Simon, there's a difference between shortcuts for particular actions (such as Ctrl+S to save) and keyboard access to the menu via the alt key. The two work in different ways, or in the case of Libreoffice on Ubuntu, the two fail to work in different ways.

[Bug 822872] Re: LeftCtrl+LeftAlt+Key should be equivalent to RightAlt+Key
The Ctrl+Alt equivalence to AltGr is a Windows workaround to the fact that some keyboards didn't have an AltGr (such keyboards are still sometimes found in the US) to enable people with such keyboards to attempt to write languages like Spanish and English (okay, there are other ways of writing words like façade and naïve, but Windows didn't support those either, and indeed the Ctrl+Alt technique still leaves many characters out - so copy-paste from charmap or autocorrect bindings are still needed on Windows to write many languages). This is a reasonable workaround in that system for the following reasons: 1. They were stuck for anything else to try, because there simply wasn't an AltGr key on those keyboards. 2. They don't have many uses for other Ctrl+Alt bindings, and those they do use (Ctrl+Alt+Delete of course) don't have AltGr bindings on most keyboard layouts. It remains a reasonable workaround for that system, because it's a fixed workaround for that system - this leads to item 2 remaining true, and people don't create Ctrl+Alt bindings. Strictly, that last point isn't true; people sometimes do program bindings to Ctrl+Alt combos that have no built-in binding in their locale, and then have internationalisation problems, but the workaround dug a hole that it's now next to impossible to dig out of because so many Windows users are used to it. This is not a reasonable workaround on other systems. 1. It isn't needed for most keyboards (though admittedly such keyboards do still exist). 2. There are a large number of cases where Ctrl+Alt is bound to something. Ctrl+Alt L will default to locking the screen, Ctrl+Alt T will launch a terminal window; clearly we cannot have those happening when someone tries to type a letter, or vice versa. Windows did something decades ago that seemed like a good idea at the time, and arguably was, and has to live with the negative consequences because Windows users are used to it. *nix did something different decades ago that seemed like a good idea at the time to people who did have AltGr keys, was largely invisible to most who didn't (who mostly make little use of the characters it allows anyway), and has to live with the fact that it confuses Windows users because *nix users are used to it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/822872 Title: LeftCtrl+LeftAlt+Key should be equivalent to RightAlt+Key To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xkeyboard-config/+bug/822872/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This would seem to be a duplicate of 739184, though now that the menu integration is from LO themselves, maybe it's now a bug for them.

[Bug 777013] Re: LibreOffice *looks* as if it was checking the spelling when the dictionary is not installed.
Yes, it makes sense if you had a document that was mostly in e.g. en-GB, with some phrases in fr, ang and la and you had dictionaries for British English and French but not for Latin or Anglo-Saxon, that it would pass by those Latin and Anglo-Saxon phrases. I think the ideal would be a list of languages in the document that weren't checked for that reason. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/777013 Title: LibreOffice *looks* as if it was checking the spelling when the dictionary is not installed.

[Bug 1161675] [NEW] LibreOffice lacks support for English documents' spell-checking in Ubuntu
Public bug reported: Fresh install of Raring (because I'm playing with the Beta, but I've noted similar issues before with other builds), en-IE locale. Libreoffice has English dictionaries for: en-AU, en-CA, en-GB, en-US, en-ZA, and no others. Uninstall Libreoffice and install from .deb files. Libreoffice has support for: en-AU, en-BZ, en-CA, en-GB, en-GH, en-IE, en-IN, en-JM, en- MW, en-NA, en-NZ, en-PH, en-TT, en-US, en-ZA en-ZW. This severely hampers the usefulness of LibreOffice to many English speakers, unless they've installed manually. A workaround can be to mark your document as being in the supported dialect closest to your own and then spell-check it before changing it back. This is imperfect in checking for some dialects, and not as easily done if you are mixing languages (or worse, dialects of English) in the same document. ** Affects: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: i18n l10n -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1161675 Title: LibreOffice lacks support for English documents' spell-checking in Ubuntu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1161675/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
