From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031114 Epiphany/1.0.4 Description of problem: Since the update of openoffice.org-1.1.0-15, the dictionaries for any language other than english and italian seem to be missing. Because of this the spellig feature doesn't work for anything but english and italian. After a couple of days openoffice.org-1.1.0-16 came out and this is when I first noticed the problem. I know it exists since openoffice.org-1.1.0-15 because after verifying that it didn't work in the latest version, i checked it on a non updated computer (which ran openoffice.org-1.1.0-15) and saw the same behaviour. A fresh fedora install that never ran up2date works fine (openoffice.org-1.1.0-6) HOWEVER "rpm -e openoffice.org openoffice.org-libs openoffice.org-i18n" and then re-installing these older versions on a system that did have either the -15 or -16 releases installed, does _NOT_ work; the behaviour stays the same. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openoffice.org-1.1.0-16 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. update to openoffice.org-1.1.0-16 2. log in as a dutch guy by choosing the appropriate language at login 3. try checking your dutch documents' spelling in oowriter... Actual Results: I can only choose from English (GB) English (US) Italian languages; no dutch in sight, which used to be standard, if you logged in as a dutch person. i tried this for other languages as well, same results. Expected Results: I want to check my document in the spelling of the language I am using. Additional info: This problem is pretty showstopper for most of the regular users; What is particulary eery is the fact that installing an older version of the package does not undo the nasty behaviour, as I would expect.

OOo for FC1 never actually included any dictionaries other than English and Italian... so I'm not quite clear on how you got Dutch to work in the first place. If you installed the dictionary yourself, OOo version upgrades _do_ replace the /usr/lib/openoffice/share/dict/ooo/dictionaries.lst file, so you may need to re-add the dictionaries you downloaded. If you check that file and it still contains "nl NL nl_NL" or some such line, and OOo still doesn't work for Dutch, then its a bug... Could you paste the contents of your /usr/lib/openoffice/share/dict/ooo/dictionaries.lst into this bug report, and also tell me what files are in the /usr/lib/openoffice/share/dict/ooo/ directory? Thanks!
My excuses; you are right. I was confused. The dictionaries where user-installed. And I noticed that FC2 includes the dictionaries in openoffice.org-i18n! You can close this. my bad. Kind regards, Rubin.
no problem.
