Description Stefan Seefeld 2011-02-08 17:31:24 UTC
This is a feature request:

I have installed support for English, French, and German.
Thunderbird appears to offer about ten different dictionaries for each, so whenever I need to switch the current language, I'm offered a really long menu.

(There are 22 English language choices, 7 French, and 7 German ones !)

While I appreciate the flexibility, I'd like to be able to reduce the number of choices so the ones that I'm actually using regularly are more easily accessible.

Could the individual languages be activated as a Thunderbird setting ?

Thanks,

We probably should do something similar to what we did for langpacks.  But that would first require adding support for loading dictionaries from eg the user's profile directory (though that support may already exist, need to check).

Nothing to triage.

I found an upstream bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694921 which seems to be relevant to this issue. There is also one-time workaround which doesn't last forever.
