Hi,
So we will have hunspell-en in the livecd, but what if someone changes the UI or input language (this is a good reason for dictionaries to be a special case, you need them when you add input language, not UI language) they won't get the related dictionary. Could we get the control panel install the relevant dictionary using PackageKit when you add a keyboard layout? eg. if I add Arabic it should install hunspell-ar so I would have spellcheck when typing in Arabic. This will make using Fedora (and GNOME in general) easier for multilingual beginner users.
Totally agree that's a good idea. I filed this:
Two other loftier thoughts:
1) maybe spell checking dictionaries should get install "just in time" when the library is used, just like fonts get install when they're displayed.
2) maybe spell checking shouldn't have local dictionaries but use the internet like phones do.
