Description Arkady L. Shane 2008-04-15 13:43:15 UTC

Description of problem:
I have installed hunspell-ru (and aspell-ru), but there is not any russian
dictionary in Spell Cheking tab in Composer preferenses. This problem is present
for many languages, for bg, lt, he, and I think etc.

Gajim, for example, has the same problem. Both of them use gtkspell for spell
checking.

Comment 1 Matthew Barnes 2008-04-15 14:31:02 UTC

Evolution uses GnomeSpell which, if I recall correctly, uses a fixed list of
language codes that it tries to match against installed dictionaries.  I notice,
however, the language codes are tailored for aspell and we've since standardized
on hunspell.  It may be that hunspell is reporting slightly different language
codes that GnomeSpell doesn't recognize.

Comment 2 Matthew Barnes 2008-04-15 14:33:39 UTC

Note: In Post-F9 Rawhide, Evolution no longer uses GnomeSpell at all.  Instead,
it talks to Enchant directly.  So I imagine this bug only applies to Fedora 9.

According to above bugs status, both gnome-spell and gtkspell are supposed to
use enchant->hunspell, but I still can't see polish (hunspell-pl) on evolution's
spell checking list.

Comment 4 Matěj Cepl 2008-04-23 11:22:52 UTC

me too -- Czech language is not available as well.

Comment 5 Arkady L. Shane 2008-05-18 19:16:10 UTC

I saw, that gnome-spell-1.0.8-5.fc9 from updates-testing fixes this problem!

Comment 6 Piotr Krawiec 2008-05-19 12:43:38 UTC

Yes, it does, have a look at bug #426347.
