Firefox dictionaries - getting rid of en_HK/JM/NA/...

[theriel]

Hello!
I've been struggling with this problem for some time, I couldn't find any solution - maybe you have any ideas?

In Firefox, under spellcheck feature I have many English dictionaries, e.g.: en_HK, en_JM, en_NA, en_BW etc.... BUT I also have "English / United Kingdom" dictionary, which I use. The latter is a dictionary added by plugins option of Firefox.

Hence the question arises - how can I get rid of all the other dictionaries? I thought that maybe firefox uses hunspell-en to expand its list of dictionaries (I cannot think about any other source of them) but I cannot remove hunspell as it is used by dozens of packages!

Thank you for help!

Bump!

I have the same problem. Searched whole system and found nothing.

Me too! I would like to get rid of en_US, which seems to get selected as the default from time to time. :-(

I solved the problem
/usr/share/myspell
is the directory where those hidden dictionaries are. Delete them and enjoy your system

You would see misspelled words being underline in RED.
Right click on 'dunno', select the last menu, Languages. I use en_US.

What does you response marcrblevins relate to? I think we all were asking how to get rid of dictionaries, not how to change a dictionary.

Amarantine - I wouldn't suggest doing it this way. hunspell-en/myspell is a dependency for maaaany packages. It is for a reason. You never know which language package will be required by some crazy program... and, moreover, all these dictionaries will appear again after an update of this package... :/.

Don't think you can remove it, at least don't checked on those other languages. Or select to not spellcheck at all.
