Description: macOS bundle ships with 4 languages dictionary extensions (compared to all with Windows) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Inspect the macOS app bundle. Or look in the extension dialog. Only 3 or 4 dictionary's present by default And maybe simply use (internal) Hunspell instead of system? Better be same than sorry. So by default hunspell shipped with LibreOffice and if someone wants to fiddle with the default fine. But other backends are not that tested or supported.. Actual Results: 3 or 4 dictionary's Expected Results: All of them for consistency between platforms? Kind of noticed that the spell checker on macOS being meh (not recognizing certain words which it does by default on Windows) Verhaalbesalg popups up no suggestion on macOS but does on Windows Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Version: 7.2.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build ID: 4e3ce9dd6ace0b22f7b3f45cf2338b201f4dc305 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 6.3 Build 9600; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: nl-NL (nl_NL); UI: en-US Calc: CL
Setting as enhancement, but pretty certain this has been debated to death already. Do we prepare all langpacks as part of the main app bundle, thereby increasing its size for download ? Which langs would we include ? From my side, one major advantage I see is that we would immediately get rid of all those terrible bugs that affect langpack installation and trying to write into a protected signed app bundle.

It's single time download. The whole other topic is incremental updates. That the whole thing must be download over and over is different topic :-). But initial download of fine > > Which langs would we include ? Those who ship with Windows too :P. Whatever the reasoning was.. Don't seeing a point to make a separate decision or opening separate debate for macOS. And no I have no clue who 'decided' the Windows list of language extensions > > From my side, one major advantage I see is that we would immediately get rid > of all those terrible bugs that affect langpack installation and trying to > write into a protected signed app bundle. Yes.. different perspective, but also valid.. And yes, this is being debated.. but ends is in arguments pro/contra.. without the people who are in charge.. Those who should make the decision. The no hierarchy approach isn't ideal either :P. Keepings thing lingering around unnecessary. And there was some talk about compression? And was it about 'file size on disk' or file size for download? -- Are you with me trying to push it on the ESC agenda?
