Hello,

When I use my swedish dictionary in Mozilla's spellcheck and use compound words,
Mozilla's spellcheck suggests separation of the word, if the word is not in the
dictionary. An example. In english you say "address book" in two words. In my
country we say "adressbok" in one word.

If I write "adressbok" and use my swedish dictionary, and the word isn't in the
dictionary, Mozilla suggests me to change "adressbok" to "adress bok".

These suggestions is a feature when you write in english but an annoyance when
you write in other languages that don't separate compound words. I have to add
right-spelled word all the time.

I did a test with OpenOffice and copied sv_SE.aff and sv_SE.dic from my folder
"wordbook" in OpenOffice to the folder "myspell" in Mozilla. Then I wrote the
same words in OpenOffice and Mozilla and used this dictionary. Only Mozilla
suggested separations of compound words.

I would like to have this fixed so that Mozilla only suggests separations when
you write in english.

Fredrik
