I'm using this build: Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 5cd9de202765e243e41416802f3e4486b8a96f16 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 6.1; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: he-IL (en_IL); UI: en-US with both RTL-CTL and Asian languages enabled. I would like to enable the Thesaurus. First I should say, that nothing in the UI (outside the preferancles) seems to hint at there even being a thesaurus. Additionally, when I visit Tools | Options | Languages | Writing Aids - the thesaurus for English seems to be enabled. But - it's not working. Do I need to do something else to make it work? If so, that's confusing and difficult. If not, then it's a bug.
Could you ask first in the forum?
I have Thesaurus in Tools - Thesaurus... (is the third menu). If I write a word, in the window that opened, I get many expressions that use that word.

If you don't have a Thesaurus installed for that language, the UI is greyed out. https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/swriter/guide/using_thesaurus.html

English (Israel). ah, so, the funny things is, in the list of language variants in the Writing Aides "Available language modules" edit dialog - we don't even get English (Israel) as an option! ... and there isn't an English-fallback option. Maybe that's the problem?

Maybe this is just a matter of listing en-IL somewhere so the Hunspell MyThes also works for that language? Caolán, László, any idea?
yeah, likely this new en-IL need to be added to https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/dictionaries/tree/en/dictionaries.xcu in the various sections. We have only one thesarus so the ThesDic_en-US section is simple. For the others the spelling variant GB vs US matters. From: https://www.guyrutenberg.com/2016/04/16/en_il-english-locale-for-israel/ I imagine en-IL should slot into HyphDic_en-US and HunSpellDic_en-US
lets try https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/dictionaries/+/153852

Tomorrow someone will complain about en-JO or en-PA or en-EG etc. Of course, you could ask me to open a separate bug about that.
Caolán McNamara committed a patch related to this issue. It has been pushed to "master": https://git.libreoffice.org/dictionaries/commit/3fdd5e2b1d652e4ee7212c934d916971fc74a203 tdf#156101 add en-IL alongside the other English locales
done in trunk, untested however. backport to 7-5 in gerrit as I see en_IL in 7.5

Verified as fixed in: Version: 24.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: d74344f6cae0cf1c12f08249c8f49be1374fb98f CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Thanks Caolán! (In reply to Eyal Rozenberg from comment #10) > Of course, you could ask me to open a separate bug about that. For the fallback issue, looking at https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/dictionaries/tree/en/dictionaries.xcu and how variants are specified in the same way for hyphenation, thesaurus, and spelling, I think it is already covered by bug 83561. Once the fallback mechanism is implemented, we can see with each native language community which fallback works for them - if any.
