[Bug 276564] [NEW] [Intrepid] Thunderbird : English spellchecker not available

[Loïc Martin]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird

On an Intrepid Alpha 6 x86_64 install in French & up to date,
Thunderbird doesn't offer any English spellchecker, even though all the
English support packages are installed.

Methods to reproduce the bug : launch Thunderbird, chose New>Message
(CTRL-N), click in the message, then try to select the language with the
spellchecker icon (see attached snapshot). English isn't offered.

Expected behavior : a choice of languages is offered, including the
default English (uk or USA).

What I get : only fr_FR is offered.

It would seem as if Thunderbird uses only the locale it's started with.
However, when started from a terminal after exporting an English locale
(~$export LANG="en_US.UTF-8" ), even though Thunderbird use an English
interface, the only spellchecker offered is still in French (see 2nd
attached snapshot).
