Adding English not working

Post by macamba »

Adding another language is not working. At the moment I can only check Dutch. I have added English but I can not check my spelling in this textbox. And the English (GB) Language Pack add-on is installed. I can see it in my add-ons. What are my options?

The language pack is for the interface. For spellchecking you need an English dictionary.

If you are using English UK\GB then the Marco Pinto dictionary pack is the best; it has the most words and is regularly updated, usually during the first week of the month. Once you have the extension installed the dictionary will auto-update in your Firefox (and in Thunderbird), assuming that you have allowed auto-updates in your extensions settings.
