Hi, For the records, I am the Debian maintainer of myspell-es (from espa~nol). myspell-es ships a bunch of symlinks for that purpose after request in a Debian bug report, but later found some bug reports in Ubuntu about just the opposite, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/espa-nol/+bug/663032 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/espa-nol/+bug/793666 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/espa-nol/+bug/927256 myspell-es is the same for all countries, so I think that leaving symlinks there is by far the lesser evil, even if it adds some noise. For use with plain hunspell, the problem is that hunspell does not implement BCP 47 for locale based automatic fallback dictionary selection, https://sourceforge.net/p/hunspell/feature-requests/40/ so $ LANG=es_ES hunspell test.txt will only search for es_ES.dic and not use es.dic (or es_ANY) as fallback. However, I thought that libreoffice had an internal implementation for that purpose. Unfortunately I tried with both es_ANY.{aff,dic} and es.{aff,dic} and I was proven wrong. -- Agustin
