G'day,
Running v3.16.0 on openSUSE Tumbleweed (20180804).
GTK+ 2.24.32 / GLib 2.56.1 Locale: en_AU.UTF-8 (charset: UTF-8) Operating System: Linux 4.17.12-1-default (x86_64)
From 'Configuration', 'Preferences', 'Compose', 'Spell Checking', 'Dictionary', 'Default dictionary', I have 'fi'.
I'm guessing it's not English. Once spell checker is enabled, every 'English' word is deemed to be a spelling mistake.
Can anybody shed some light on this please?
not an english word, fi is endif for sh shell scripts https://bash.cyberciti.biz/guide/If..else..fi
This is so funny :) The "fi" that the OP is referring to is the abbreviation of the chosen dictionary (in this case Finnish), not a word that is marked as badly spelled. So, I interpret the OP's question as something like "If my locale ($LANG, $LC_ALL) is set to en_AU.utf-8 (or similar), how does Claws-Mail spell-check library default to Finnish? In the end, I think it is not an openSUSE issue, but a Claws-Mail issue, and Joe should take it to the Claws-Mail mailing list users@lists.claws-mail.org or, if Joe thinks it is a compilation/configuration problem devel@lists.claws-mail.org -- H.Merijn Brand http://tux.nl Perl Monger http://amsterdam.pm.org/ using perl5.00307 .. 5.29 porting perl5 on HP-UX, AIX, and openSUSE http://mirrors.develooper.com/hpux/ http://www.test-smoke.org/ http://qa.perl.org http://www.goldmark.org/jeff/stupid-disclaimers/
