How can I add language dictionaries to KDE apps? So far they only support some variants of English. There are hints that Hunspell could be used, but according to dpkg -l 'hunspell*'
, hunspell
itself is not installed, while, curiously, hunspell-en-us
is). Furthermore, the list of available language packages is small, and doesn't contain major languages such as Spanish or French.
The KDE handbook is a dead-end (broken link...)
Using Kubuntu 16.04
apt list --all-versions | grep hunspell
is a convenient way to list the various languages available. You can then choose to install whatever you need.The reason why the list seen with
dpkg -l 'hunspell*'
is shorter is explained here:But, in the output above,
ii
means that the package is installed whereasun
means it hasn't been installed.un
doesn't mean that the package is not available for installation.<none>
belowVersion
maybe confusing.Here's more on the output of
dpkg -l
: What do the various dpkg flags like 'ii' 'rc' mean?.
