Comment 2 for bug 9392

This bug is open (again?).

I've installed using the desktop-(live)-cd Feisty - Herd 4
I've selected Dutch localisation. It did install English dictionaries, which is fine.
But it didn't install Dutch dictionaries.

This means spell checking in both Firefox and OpenOffice is not offering Dutch.
Nor is OpenOffice informing me of this: it just pretends I spelled everything correct, even if its garbage.

The installer should (offer to?) download and install these packages by default.

Interestingly, if I add a language using the gnome-language-thingie it does add dictionaries for that language. However, i had to manually do:

  sudo aptitude install myspell-nl

To get dutch dictionaries. There was no other way. Perhaps if I removed dutch localisation and added it again. But both options are not satisfactory: an average user would not figure that out.
