There are two problems with changing the status of this bug to language- support-nl:
1. it happens to all the locales, although English dictionaries are installed by default. Even they are not uninstalled when the english- locale is removed. So its not specific to language-support-nl, it is specific to language-support-* 2. it requires modification of firefox. Firefox uses the environment- variable language to know which language-pack to use (the upstream people of debian hacked it like this) and at this very point, it should also set the default dictionary to the current locale. The locale choces at login time. So it does require changes to firefox. It also requires dependencies to firefox-specific dictionary packages in the language-support-* packages. The firefox-specific packages will be maintained (my guess) by the firefox maintainer. The language-support packages on the other hand are just meta packages: they depend on all available dictionaries and rosetta-templates for each locale. So, first things first: the dictionaries should be put in the repository by the firefox-maintainer. Then firefox-maintainer would need to update the locales-hack of firefox. Then the firefox-maintainer should inform the locales maintainer to update his/her dependencies. That is why i'm changing it back to Firefox. The maintainer of the locales packages can not update the firefox package. Nor are they responsible for the firefox-specific locales packages. ** Changed in: language-support-nl (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: language-support-nl => firefox -- Firefox spell checker has no dutch dictionary, eventhough I install dutch language support. https://launchpad.net/bugs/66017 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
