On the other hand, Evolution has an elegant way to allow the user to select multiple languages for spell-checking: 1. In Evolution's options, we have a list of all the installed dictionaries. We then select which dictionaries we want, using checkboxes; 2. When we are composing an e-mail using spell-check, Evolution uses all the selected dictionaries to find a match for words; 3. When we right-click on a marked word, we get a menu for each of the selected languages, each with their own suggestions. This would be a simple, yet great addition to Thunderbird, since many of us users are multilingual and use terms in another language (mostly English) in our normal writing. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure Thunderbird to use Portuguese spell-checking 2. Write an e-mail in Portuguese with some English words Actual Results: See the English words marked by the spell-checker Expected Results: 1. Configure Thunderbird to use Portuguese and English spell-checking 2. Write an e-mail in Portuguese with some English words 3. See that all the words are recognized by the spell-checker Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/662840/comments/3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2010-12-02T15:35:12+00:00 Jo-hermans wrote: *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 69687 *** Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/662840/comments/4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2011-02-17T20:02:55+00:00 Reply2discussion wrote: I don't think this is a duplicate of bug 69687. If to read 69687 the goal of that bug is to support multiple spell dictionaries but not at the same time. Support of two or more spell dictionaries at the same time is addressed in this bug. Please consider reopening of this bug. Furthermore, this is a new feature proposal for all Mozilla applications supporting spelling checks.

De-duping will not help you get this fixed, if you're not able to support multiple dictionaries ta the same time. The exact mechanism how this would work (sequential dictionary testing, auto-detect, the lang- attribute or whatever method is used) is something else.

That is especially needed for e-mail since many people write them in several languages (and that's the way Evolution does it).

I don't see how this is not a dupe of bug 69687. Bug 69687 IS most certainly all about "at the same time". For all mozilla apps, not just thunderbird or just firefox. Are there other arguments to not dupe to 69687? Furthermore, the key discussion is or probably will be occurring there (though there is relevant activity in bug 676500) Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/662840/comments/12 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2011-10-12T15:19:13+00:00 Acelists wrote: Dupe against 481884 that is more specific than bug 69687?

This bug is not a duplicate of what's in the description of bug 69687, but the content of this bug has also been proposed in the comments of bug 69687, most recent in bug 69687 comment 162.
