I confess I've never looked at the dictionaries shipping across languages, and there seems to be a lot of space for clean ups. https://dxr.mozilla.org/l10n-central/search?q=path%3A.dic&redirect=false Possible broken locales: > el/extensions/spellcheck/el.dic Would this even work, out of the hunspell folder? Need to try a Greek build. Locales with en-US dictionary: > ja-JP-mac/extensions/spellcheck/hunspell/en-US.dic > ja/extensions/spellcheck/hunspell/en-US.dic > km/extensions/spellcheck/hunspell/en-US.dic > lij/extensions/spellcheck/hunspell/en-US.dic > or/extensions/spellcheck/hunspell/en-US.dic > ta/extensions/spellcheck/hunspell/en-US.dic > zh-TW/extensions/spellcheck/hunspell/en-US.dic I think these were copied by localizers at the time, when working directly on hg. Probably worth filing a bug for ja and zh-TW, but the others should just be removed (IMO). zh-TW was copied from ja, and never updated https://hg.mozilla.org/l10n-central/zh-TW/log/tip/extensions/spellcheck/hunspell/en-US.dic The Japanese one is years behind https://hg.mozilla.org/l10n-central/ja/log/tip/extensions/spellcheck/hunspell/en-US.dic Locales with a lot of extra "stuff" that should just be removed. https://hg.mozilla.org/l10n-central/km/file/tip/extensions/spellcheck/hunspell/dictionary-sources https://hg.mozilla.org/l10n-central/lij/file/tip/extensions/spellcheck/hunspell/dictionary-sources

To clarify: I don't think it was a conscious choice to add it for any of these languages, with the exception of ja and zh-TW. In these two cases, I'd like to understand why it's useful to ship an English dictionary, in particular considering that nobody is updating it, and there are better choices available on AMO.

I think this is as much we could clean up.

I realized that, in the end, I didn't really remove them for km, lij, or, ta. https://hg.mozilla.org/l10n-central/km/rev/5884668360830cc123c43d2121e49f92164b891f https://hg.mozilla.org/l10n-central/lij/rev/465e7e161ec5efd837e4d31df49ad3867ebeec7a https://hg.mozilla.org/l10n-central/or/rev/8c6d61be98470e4807068ef5a0a1d1b9603fe4d3 https://hg.mozilla.org/l10n-central/ta/rev/4ab976c7a777f2157524aab49eb6ee16c6464073 Rationale for removing en-US: - We're working on improving feature discoverability - These languages don't have a maintainer on Mercurial, and this dictionary is obsolete
