This is really not a valid argument. Even for the very few users that would install a language pack months after installing the full suite, this "problem" would be solved on the following day when Extension Manager checks for new versions of the dictionary. > > In short, it is not absolutely clear that including dictionaries would > > be an advantage for everyone. Including dictionaries is always an advantage for users. Outdated dictionaries are updated and an Office suite without dictionaries is not useful except for users that don't mind having spelling mistakes (spell checking is included by default even in browsers) > On August 30, 2019 at 8:46 PM Marcus <marcus.m...@wtnet.de> wrote: > I also see the disadvantages, so I would say let's not include the dics. I believe having a full language *pack* makes absolute sense. A Full language pack from Microsoft (paid, of course) includes the UI language, the Help files and the dictionaries. In what situation would it be obvious that after installing another language you would still need to search and download the dictionary needed to edit documents in the new UI language? That being said, since I can not fix this myself (I'm not a developer) I have to convince you (developers) that this makes more sense for the average user and for most users.
