As I am neither programmer nor ready to become one, I think, the most productive way to resolve this issue would be assigning the task to anyone already involved/experienced in internationalization.

Comment 2

[Michael Wolf]

A second change should be made:

In file omni/chrome/en-US/locale/en-US/global(languageNames.properties the line 

ltg = Latgalian

should be added that the language name is used for spell checking.
