I don't think this bug is only a Firefox one. I'm French and often use English on the web. Thus, I need both language-support-en and language- support-fr. But, those meta-packages install a lot of dictionaries that I don't care because I live in France, not in Belgium, not in Canada, so fr-CA, fr-BE and fr-CH are of no use for me. It's not really a problem to have too much dictionaries, the problem is that they are too many supported locales set in /var/lib/locales/supported.d/en and /var/lib/locales/supported.d/fr and that all those dictionaries are activated.
What I propose : # The Ubuntu part – 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales' must give the ability to select activate/deactivate locales, – when installing Ubuntu, it must not only install language-support metapackages but also reduce the activated languages to those of the country of the user (fr_FR in my case for instance), # The Firefox part – Firefox must use 'locale -a' to get all activated locales and propose in the spell check menu only the activated ones. -- Duplicate spell checking dictionaries for every entry https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/66015 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
