--- Comment #16 from [email protected] <[email protected]> --- > Now it appears in: > Tools -> Options -> Languages and Locales, Default Languages for Documents That's new to me. It seems to be a side effect of variable sharing. Anyway, it only appears after selecting all text and choose the language in Tools/Language/For selection. Previously that intentionally was not the case, only languages/locales with locale data should be shown … If the language hasn’t localization, it is necessary to find it in a tricky way and in a hidden place. I know that trick now, and You do too, but even the All Knowing Been in this world, Saint Google, doesn’t know it. I’ve been developing the spell checker since the very begin of the year. I have searched the web, many times, in Spanish, English and French, in order to find out how to develop, without localization, the checker for a new language, with no result. Two AIs were a waste of time too. The only solution was to use another language locales. In the web you find a lot of pages teaching on how to change and install the language for spelling correction, but in the standard way: Tools -> Options -> Languages and Locales, Default Languages for Documents… but the tricky way is unknown, even for Saint Google. I’ve access to 300 motivated user and I can send them a manual, but we are more than 1,600,000 extremaduran people, so I can’t reach any potential user. If the language does not appear in the main list does not exist, even though you have installed it. As user, for me it is not important whether the language has all the paraphernalia of localization or not. For an user-friendly interface, consider to hide the uninstalled languages and show all the installed ones, with or without locales in the main list It seems to me that only the format “ext-ES” is considered in the locales and, because of that my language appears as “ext (España) {ext-ES}”. Consider to add a new entry to the xcu file for name to appear in the list in a civilized way, or use something like “Extremaduran ext-EX” as LOCALE and show “Extemaduran” in the list. Do not limit it to English alphabet. Anyway, this business of localization is not more than an unnecessary nightmare when I only want my spellchecker to work. I’ll use another language localization and find the way to warn users. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
