It's also pretty unclear how to add dictionaries should you discover they aren't there (maybe some packagekit integration needed?): https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=750986
It might be nice to have a spell(:lang=XX) provides in rpm to enable prompting and auto-install of dictionaries for a language if missing
and
spelling is requested, e.g hunspell-en installed, but locale is de_DE and spellchecking in gedit/libreoffice is activated => hunspell-de (or German Support Collection) is suggested for installation.
The yum-langpacks plugin will pull in the proper dictionaries when hunspell is installed if you're installing in a particular language - where we fall down a bit is how to handle the 'I want to install language support later" case.
Maybe we should have a GUI for this in GNOME, under the Language and
Region
control panel, that will allow adding or removing spellcheck dictionaries easily via packagekit. (You don't really expect new users to know what hunspell or aspell are, right?)
It shouldn't be needed, dictionaries should be installed when a user adds language support, the dictionaries should be part of the language groups. If that doesn't happen there's bugs in out language support in the yum-langpacks plugin or the packaging of dictionaries and they should be fixed.
I think it's a dictionary packaging problem then, cause yum-lungpacks is not related to this. yum-langpacks will install the language support subpackage which is appropriate for your system UI language when you install a package that has one. Therefor I assume this bug is in comps: the dictionaries should be inserted to the relevant language-support category.
But from the original mail from Mo it looks like the US dictionaries should be there already.
