[Bug 651586] Re: Mozilla Thunderbird and Firefox spellcheck has too many languages

[komputes]

I really hope so. Spell check in default mozilla applications is bulky
and needs to simplified.

Mozilla developers, please have a look at how Chromium handles the the
same task, I am honestly impressed. (see attachment)

Title:
  Mozilla Thunderbird and Firefox spellcheck has too many languages

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: thunderbird

  Mozilla Thunderbird and Firefox spellcheck has too many languages. It
  does not follow the Ubuntu Language Support Standard (gnome-language-
  selector).

  Language Support (gnome-language-selector) has a feature which allows
  you to gray out languages you are not interested in seeing and black
  in the languages you would like to see. Mozilla apps should follow
  this or should at least offer a workaround allowing a user to disable
  certain languages.
