[Bug 651586] Re: Mozilla Thunderbird and Firefox spellcheck has too many languages

[Sicco van Sas]

madbiologist, yes this still occurs on Ubuntu 13.04 with Firefox 23. I
have a laptop with the English and Dutch languages installed and the
default available spell checking languages in Firefox are 6 versions of
Dutch (Dutch Belgium, Dutch Antilles, Dutch Suriname, Dutch Aruba, Dutch
Dutch and Dutch while I only need one version of Dutch and 4 versions of
English (English UK, English USA, English South Africa, English
Australia) while I only want the UK and USA versions. Note that I
specified these preferences in Ubuntu's language settings (though these
settings show a different selection of language varieties, e.g. only 1
Dutch version and no English South Africa, but does list English Canada
and English New Zealand).

Title:
  Mozilla Thunderbird and Firefox spellcheck has too many languages

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “language-selector” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: thunderbird

  Mozilla Thunderbird and Firefox spellcheck has too many languages. It
  does not follow the Ubuntu Language Support Standard (gnome-language-
  selector).

  Language Support (gnome-language-selector) has a feature which allows
  you to gray out languages you are not interested in seeing and black
  in the languages you would like to see. Mozilla apps should follow
  this or should at least offer a workaround allowing a user to disable
  certain languages.
