Public bug reported:
Spellcheck in Ubuntu 8.10's Gedit 2.24.2 is using the wrong English
dictionary. For example, US English has "color" and British English has
"colour." In my case I want US. If I look at Tools-> Set Language-> I
see a list with English on top followed by six specific English
languages and Turkish. If I select "English (United States)" I get the
dictionary I want but only for this Gedit session. There is no way I can
find to always use US English so every time I open a Gedit session and
want to spell check I have to specifically select Language. I attempted
to delete the other dictionaries in the Synaptic Package Manger but
since the languages are part of an umbrella package I'd create problems
the next time I wanted to upgrade to a new Ubuntu release. I also tried
the configuration editor but no parameter for language was available. I
can't recall having to specify langauge with each Gedit session in past
Ubuntu releases. There needs to be some way to set the default Gedit
language for the spell checker plugin. My expectation is that once a
laguage is selected it should stay the language until I manually change
it.
