Other variants can be added through the in-application function 'get more dictionaries online'. There doesn't seem to be a thesaurus for en-GB though. Looking at +PLISTs for other subpackages like -i18n-fr there seem to be: - localised help files including images - localised LC_MESSAGES for the UI - autocorrect and autotext files - extra hyphenation files (.aff) - dictionaries/thesaurus depending on language (for example -fr also installs Occitan dictionary) None of these are really a big deal for en-GB users, though there doesn't seem to be a localised thesaurus. It turns out that the supported language code is not 'gb' but 'en-GB', and the subpackage is named -i18n-en-gb. I am trying a build (2 hours and counting...) to see what if anything is not in the standard install of the main package. - -- Chris Billington
