1) Create a new impress presentation. Default language is English 2) activate automatic spell checking. 3) Create slides with Swahili text. Almost all words are underlined as faulty. 4) change language to Swahili (Tanzania). Either in format styles or via "Tools - Language - For All Text" Result: All words are still underlined as faulty. As soon as the first one is added to a dictionary, all underlining disappears. Spell Checking (F7) returns empty result, the language is displayed as "none". Expected result: Underlining of words in the Swahili dictionary should disappear. F7 should run a correct spell check, and the language in the language picker should be set to "Swahili".
Thank you for reporting the bug. I can not reproduce the bug in Version: 7.5.5.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: ca8fe7424262805f223b9a2334bc7181abbcbf5e CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: sw-TZ (fr_FR); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Could you provide some examples of Swahili text in an attachment?
Martin: did you have Swahili dictionary installed? I tested now by having both English and Finnish dictionaries. The default language was Finnish. I wrote a sentence in Finnish. I changed language for all text to English. Redlining appeared. I added the first word to the dictionary. Redlining disappeared *only* for that word. Spell checking also worked as expected, not as you describe. Arch Linux 64-bit, X11 Version: 7.6.0.3 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 60(Build:3) CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 6.4; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb) Locale: fi-FI (fi_FI.UTF-8); UI: en-US 7.6.0-2 Calc: threaded
Well, for me it still doesn't work. I also tried German to rule out that it's not a problem with the Swahili spell checker, but it still makes problems. F7 either gives empty results and shows "no language", or checks all text as English, although it is formatted as Swahili. Changing the spell checking language to Swahili works, but must be done after every single word. Here is some of the text I use: Zilitumika kwa makarne na makarne Zilisauhuliwa baada ya dawa za kisasa kubuniwa zimekumbukwa miaka ya hivi karibuni siku hizi kuna utafiti sana kuhusu dawa hizo System Info: Version: 7.6.2.1 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 60(Build:1) CPU threads: 6; OS: Linux 6.2; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+wayland) Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Ubuntu package version: 4:7.6.2~rc1-0ubuntu0.22.04.1~lo1 Calc: threaded
Works for me with https://extensions.libreoffice.org/en/extensions/show/swahili-dictionary Your example text gives me redlining for makarne, Zilisauhuliwa and zimekumbukwa. F7 Spelling dialog also works as expected. Tested both by doing the language change from another language and by having Swahili (Tanzania) as default language for documents.
The funny thing is that it works for me in writer as well. It's only in Impress. Oh, I added a custom Swahili only user dictionary where I put my Swahili words in (to not mix up different languages). And I also have a user dictionary for names only that has no language attached to it.

With your dictionary, the example text in comment 3 doesn't give any errors, because you added makarne, Zilisauhuliwa and zimekumbukwa to the dictionary. If I write some gibberish, it is immediately redlined and also brought up in the F7 spell checking dialog. All this time I have been testing in Impress. To be sure, I also tested under Wayland now, so our systems are identical.
Dear Martin Tlustos, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. Please DO NOT Update the version field Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ 2. Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo'; 4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone! Warm Regards, QA Team MassPing-UntouchedBug
Tested again with version: Version: 25.8.3.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 8ca8d55c161d602844f5428fa4b58097424e324e CPU threads: 6; OS: Linux 6.14; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8); UI: de-DE Flatpak Calc: threaded The bug is still valid, although the behavior has changed a little bit. I have created a sample document that I will upload. Steps: 1) download and install Swahili spellchecker extension 2) create an empty document from any standard template (language is set to German in my case) 3) put in some Swahili text 4) change document language to Swahili (either via Extra-Language or Format Styles) Result: text is still marked as not in dictionary. 5) Add slide, insert German text, change format style to German. Result: Text is not marked, everything works. 6) Add slide, insert English text, change format style language to English Result: Text is not underlined/marked, everything works. 7) Add slide, insert Swahili text, change format style language to Swahili (Tanzania) Result: Text is underlined/marked as not in dictionary. F7 says word not in dictionary (which it is, though, I checked. Some aren't, but others are) So, my guess is that either the dictionary isn't installed properly, or that the dictionary itself is at fault.
