Select other spell check languages not possible

[onlinq_support]

Hello,

I have a problem in Thunderbird. I recent installed version 52.3.0 because i have some other problems when upgrading to the latest version of Thunderbird.

But it seems that in this version to option to select other spell check languages is not possible. I installed several addons of German dictionaries for my spell check.
It doesn't matter what kind of spelling check addon i install (addon that compatible with all versions or just version 52.3.0). Thunderbird doesn't show the option to select a other languages then my default languages (Dutch)

Is this perhaps a bug or do i need to enable a extra setting to make this option available?

I hoping that somebody give me a answer of solution.

Did you really install German dictionaries or did you install German language packs ?
Go to Tools > Add-ons > Dictionaries : which dictionaries are installed ?
Dictionaries can be downloaded from this page https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/th ... age-tools/

EDIT:
if there is no German dictionary in the add-ons manager maybe you installed the new webextension version of a German dictionary in TB 52.3.0.
Try to install version 2.0.6 of Kairo's German dictionary https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/th ... /versions/

Note that the latest German dictionary, the webext version, requires TB 60 or higher. Version 2.0.6 should work with TB 52.
