[Bug 509248] Re: [PPA] Thunderbird 3 Shows only English dictionary in Spell menu
I confirm that the solution works: sudo ln -s /usr/share/myspell/dicts/ /usr/lib/thunderbird-3.0.4/dictionaries then restart thunderbird and all dictionaries are now listed. -- [PPA] Thunderbird 3 Shows only English dictionary in Spell menu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/509248 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 509248] Re: [PPA] Thunderbird 3 Shows only English dictionary in Spell menu
This also affects me. I have the thunderbird-locale-en-gb and myspell- en-gb packages installed. Thunderbird shows the language pack correctly installed under 'Tools Add-ons Languages'. However, I am only able to select the United States English dictionary when composing email. Current package versions (Lucid): thunderbird: 3.0.4+nobinonly-0ubuntu1 thunderbird-locale-en-gb: 1:3.0-0ubuntu2 myspell-en-gb: 1:3.2.0-2ubuntu2 This problem is caused by Thunderbird not correctly linking the myspell dictionaries into '/usr/lib/thunderbird-3.0.4/dictionaries/'. I believe there are two possible solutions to this problem: 1) Link Thunderbird's dictionaries directory to the myspell dictionaries directory. This is the solution currently used by Firefox: '/usr/lib/thunderbird-3.0.4/dictionaries - ../../share/myspell/dicts' c.f. '/usr/lib/firefox-3.6.3/dictionaries - ../../share/myspell/dicts'. 2) Link the individual dictionaries at the thunderbird-locale level. This would probably entail making the locale package dependant on the appropriate myspell dictionary pack, e.g.: thunderbird-locale-en-gb: Depends: myspell-en-gb '/usr/lib/thunderbird-3.0.4/dictionaries/en-GB.dic - ../../../share/myspell/dicts/en-GB.dic' '/usr/lib/thunderbird-3.0.4/dictionaries/en-GB.aff - ../../../share/myspell/dicts/en-GB.aff'. -- [PPA] Thunderbird 3 Shows only English dictionary in Spell menu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/509248 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
