[SOLVED] Libre Office, missing USA language module

blnl · 06-16-2014, 03:34 AM

Somehow I lost USA language in Libre Office. How to get it back?

My dictionaries are properly installed:

Code:

[boris@e6410dl ~]$ ll /usr/share/myspell/
total 5.2M
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 3.1K Apr  7 15:07 en_US.aff
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 522K Apr  7 15:07 en_US.dic
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1.2K Sep 28  2003 hr_HR.aff
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 2.3M Sep 28  2003 hr_HR.dic
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root  33K Sep 23  2011 nl_NL.aff
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 2.4M Sep 23  2011 nl_NL.dic
[boris@e6410dl ~]$

Libre Office is the only application that suffers from this issue. Other tools do show all available languages.

firefox spelling_firefox.png

thundrebird spelling_thunderbird.png

What is missing in my Libre Office installation?
Is there a way to fix this?

Also in Tools > Options > Language settings, English USA is not recognized. (Yes, I can select it but it does not check the spelling.)

I believe that Libreoffice defaults to English(US) which might explain its absence. In any event Debian has this package: libreoffice4.2-en-us I guess Fedora has a similar package. You can also use the Tools menu. Selection Options... and then under the heading Language Settings look at Writing Aids. Be sure you have Hunspell checked.

Code:

/usr/share/hunspell/en_US.aff

I think I found a solution. Installed following packages:

libreoffice-langpack-en.x86_64
libreoffice-langpack-hr.x86_64
libreoffice-langpack-nl.x86_64

Code:

yum install libreoffice-langpack-en.x86_64 libreoffice-langpack-hr.x86_64 libreoffice-langpack-nl.x86_64

Spelling check works now!

Am using openSUSE 13.1 Gnome, with zypper see these available options

Code:

:~> zypper se libre | grep -i 'en-us'
i | libreoffice-help-en-US                     | American Help Localization for LibreOffice                                   | package   
  | libreoffice-help-en-US                     | American Help Localization for LibreOffice                                   | srcpackage
i | libreoffice-thesaurus-en-US                | American Thesaurus Dictionary for LibreOffice                                | package

which self would install using command zypper in and which-ever you chose.
