This is iffy. All the aspell languages are seperate packages, to be specifically installed.
What Morgan says makes sense in a perfect world: if your installed locale is non-English language, the installer would *ideally* install additionally the appropriate aspell language pkg - if available. Easier said than done. But it would have to contain them all.
This is very refined. It is clearly no problem for the user to add the required aspell language pkg.

This is an installation policy matter, so assigning to the ISO group for comment if nothing else.

While rather easy to install afterwards, programs needing dictionaries have more or less elegant ways telling one is missing, and for what checker (aspell, autocorr, jortho...)


A lot of other localised -sv got selected and installed automatically - like autocorr-sv, hyphen-sv and correct languages and help in thunderbird, firefox, gimp...

So i was thinking why not also autocorr got -sv too?

I tried to reproduce this, but aspell was not installed. Please can you attach the /root/drakx/ddebug.log from your installed system.

From the installer log, the aspell package wasn't installed. The lib64aspell15 package was installed (required by the sonnet package), but lib64aspell15 neither requires nor recommends aspell-dictionary, which is why none of the aspell language packages were installed.

Compare with hunspell. Both the hunspell and lib64hunspell1.7_0 packages recommend hunspell-dictionary, which pulls in the appropriate language package.

So this is a packaging issue. Whether accidental or deliberate, I don't know.

Assigning to the registered maintainer for aspell.

As far as classic installer is concerned, t's just there's no matching lines in meta-task's rpmsrate.
Nor is aspell (which is thus pulled as a dep of another package)
But I'm not sure we want to alter rpmsrate 

eg, we can change:
CAT_SPELLCHECK
  5 hunspell-bg hunspell-ca

into:
CAT_SPELLCHECK
  5 hunspell-bg hunspell-ca
  5 aspell-en aspell-fr 


Which is enough to got the relevant aspell dictionnaries to be installed depending on the selected locales
