n54 I have added a suggestion hunspell-dictionary. Hi Kamil, installing any dictionary does not solve the pb. I think the pb is in "en_BE" that does not match any dictionary. This setting was set up at installation time when you select a QUERTY keyboard + random country. So a fix maybe to force english dictionary in that situation ? Cheers, Chris. Hi, This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment. Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2. Thanks :) Cheers, marja Keywords:

marja11 actuallu locale "en_BE" does exist. the script calling hunspell should change that to "en" or something if the specific dictionnary isn't there. I'll look at the code CC:

adds fallback mechanisms to find default dictionnary
This patch improves default dictionnary detection.
It implements a behaviour that follows gettext one; that is:
1. find, in that order, one defined variable among LANGUAGE, LC_ALL, LC_MESSAGES, LANG
2. once found, if a colon (:) is present, treat it as a list of colon separated locales; the following steps are repeated for each member of the list, until a dictionnary is found
3. for each locale, try the full lang+country (xx_YY) form
4. if not found, fallback to language only (xx)
what I added is reading of LANGUAGE, the loop in a list of locales, and the fallback xx_YY -> xx
For it to work, all hunspell-* packages have to be rebuilt to offer a symlink to language (eg fr.{aff,dic} -> fr_FR.{aff,dic})
This patch will then select the best available dictionnary matching user locale preferences, in a way consistent on how interface translations are selected.
Of course, selection of a specific dictionnary is still possible by telling it as a parameter.
