 |
|
Although I have hunspell and a bunch of dictionaries installed, I have only the English spell checker available in Libreoffice (Tools > Options > Language Options > Writing Aids > User defined dictionaries only shows English).
| Quote: | # qlist -ICv libreoffice hunspell myspell
app-dicts/myspell-de-2015.12.28
app-dicts/myspell-en-20151201
app-dicts/myspell-es-0.6
app-dicts/myspell-fr-4.5-r1
app-dicts/myspell-nl-2.10g
app-office/libreoffice-5.0.4.2
app-office/libreoffice-l10n-5.0.4.2
app-text/hunspell-1.3.3
|
Any suggestion?
Many thanks in advance. |

| Thanks for the suggestion. I know that I can do that but then I loose the benefits from the Gentoo build system and need to check for updates and changes myself. As far as I can see, it should work the way I did it but it does not. |

I know I'm necro-posting, but I just encountered this as well and thought I'd share my solution in case it helps someone else. I'm not exactly sure when Gentoo implemented this (and whether it occurred all at once or only as packages were individually updated, but they apparently changed from using LINGUAS to L10N to determine which languages are installed:
https://www.gentoo.org/support/news-items/2016-06-23-l10n-use_expand.html
This has varying effects, including which dictionaries are installed with, eg., hunspell, which libreoffice uses for spell-checking. After a recent update I ended up with the spell checker installed but no dictionary... which is not exactly helpful.
Anyway, thowing this in make.conf and rebuilding with 'emerge -DNa --with-bdeps=y @world' fixed it for me:
| Code: | | L10N="en en-US en_US" |
Edit: According to my logs, this bit me about 10 days ago:
| Code: | | 20181117 12:56:48 === Unmerging... (app-dicts/myspell-en-20170101) |

Well thank you for doing so!! I had en-US and en_US in mine, but that doesn't include "en". Nothing that I have installed is spell checking, firefox, thunderbird nor libreoffice. It is the "en" that appears to have pulled app-dicts/myspell-en back into the build (from app-text/hunspell L10N="en") |

'en_US' is invalid. You may want to remove that entry.
Look at /usr/portage/profiles/desc/l10n.desc for a list of valid entries. |

It depends upon whose game you're playing and sometimes what part of that game.
Apparently Gentoo is in the dash camp, yet fails to fall back to the language without a region when a language-region combination fails to match. I recall a number of years ago that using "en en_US en-US" resulted in me getting British English in Firefox as the "en" took precidence over en_US so I had to remove "en" to get American English. |

Actually, your two links are for i18n and l10n, which are two separate things (even though i18n includes l10n).
Regarding the dashes/hyphens and the underscores, one (dashes) is the IETF locale tag standard and the other (underscores) is the very old ISO15897 standard. The former is used in newer software and technologies (and I think you should use this one when possible, this might be the reason why Gentoo choose this one) and the latter is still there for compatibility purposes (POSIX locale is the best known example).
