I now (think I) understand where Jonathan brought this term from; in fact, this screenshot casts the suggestion in the different light of aligning this part of our preferences with those of MS Office. However - that does not make this change a good idea. First, and in principle, we should not copy what MSO does, because MSO does it. Even if one tried to argue for this as a measure of easing transition - it would have little effect: Most MSO users probably don't interact with it, and even then, it would not be exactly the same UI as what Jonathan proposes. Second, even in the MSO dialog, the word "proofing" is used once, and as a secondary characteristic of entries on the list in the screenshot. This probably has to do with the "MS Proofing Tools" which one can download. Few MSO users know about that, and no LO users know what that should mean - nor do I. So let's just drop that word regardless of any UI changes. Third - the MSO UI is a way to install or remove language-specific data/compiled code. If we had the ability to add or remove our own "language packs" - then a UI for that, similar to MSO's, would make sense. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
