Language packs and dictionaries have no relation, they are two different types of add-ons.

Open Firefox and go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/language-tools/

There's a column for dictionaries.

There is indeed, but we expect the same results after adding a language pack like after adding a dictionary per a discussion with :dminor on slack.

That was my mistake, I thought the language packs would also contain the dictionaries.
