350843 - [Fx2.0b2 release notes] Don't suggest thunderbird dictionaries - they aren't packaged correctly

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(www.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[Nick Thomas [:nthomas] (UTC+12)]

In the Known Issues section, this text is used:

Spell Checking:
Dictionaries for several locales can't be packaged with the builds, and must be manually downloaded by selecting "Add Dictionaries..." on the shortcut menu. Until those dictionaries are added to Mozilla Add-ons, users must obtain them from the Thunderbird dictionary page.

The Thunderbird dictionaries are not correctly packaged for 2.0b2 and don't work if you install them. (They put their files into <appdir>/components/myspell instead of <profile>/dictionaries or <appdir>/dictionaries). The last sentence should be removed, maybe replaced with something like "We hope to have more dictionaries available in time for the final release of Firefox 2"

Last sentence replaced with "New dictionaries are regularly being added to Mozilla Add-ons, so if you don't see the particular dictionary you need, check back later."

beltzner: How does that sound?
