This has become a problem again with me. I used the "$HOME/.local/share /myspell-selected" workaround from https://askubuntu.com/questions/299398/mozilla-thunderbird-spellcheck- has-too-many-listed-languages but it stopped working again a while ago (a year?).
In thunderbird spellcheck I how have - 6 varieties of German - 7 varieties fo French - 5 varieties of English and - 19 varieties of Arabic I'm using English localization and have AR, DE, FR installed as I need the keyboard from time to time. Not sure why it is not possible to select only ONE variety of each language. (Especially for Arabic I have the impression that the varieties are for the most part only copies of Standard Arabic. Would be helpful if a solution comes up some time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice-dictionaries in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/651586 Title: Mozilla Thunderbird and Firefox spellcheck has too many languages Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in language-selector package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in libreoffice-dictionaries package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: thunderbird Mozilla Thunderbird and Firefox spellcheck has too many languages. It does not follow the Ubuntu Language Support Standard (gnome-language- selector). Language Support (gnome-language-selector) has a feature which allows you to gray out languages you are not interested in seeing and black in the languages you would like to see. Mozilla apps should follow this or should at least offer a workaround allowing a user to disable certain languages.
