Bug Description

Intrepid Alpha 6 installed in Romanian.

After the install, the list of available spell dictionaries in Gedit, Evolution, contains English, Romanian and Turkish. OpenOffice.org does not show Turkish as having a spellchec dictionary available.

I can't find any spell packages installed for "-tr" and I can't find anything related to Turkish in "/usr/share/aspell" and "/usr/share/myspell"

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

OK. The installer is doing nothing unusual here. What's happening is that the "enchant" spell-checking library has a number of spell-checking providers that are each supposed to provide an interface that lists the available dictionaries. Most of them check which dictionaries are available and return those.

However, the "zemberek" provider, which supports Turkish, doesn't check which dictionaries are available; it just unconditionally offers Turkish, without checking whether the zemberek server is available. We don't seem to package the zemberek server for Ubuntu at the moment, although it is free software and potentially could be packaged (http://code.google.com/p/zemberek/), so at the moment we'll always be wrong in claiming to offer spell-checking using it.

I also get this with a standard en-GB install.
