I was not talking about spoken language. It will take a few years before 
LibreOffice can be used for dictionary checking of spoken language.

Your message  perfectly shows the kind of emotions languages can evoke.

That would get quite complicated.

I am sure some people could be annoyed also by being reminded that there are 
languages spoken in their country that they perhaps consider leftovers from 
invaders and not real language of their country. Or the other way around, 
people feeling they belong to an oppressed linguistic minority would complain 
if a dictionary of their language isn't installed even if they choose "all 
dictionaries for your country". 

Surely we want to avoid stepping into such a minefield.
