Although I've set LINGUAS="de" the German spell check has not been installed when emerging openoffice-2.0.3 or openoffice-bin-2.0.3. I had to emerge myspell-* manually and make 'eselect oodict set myspell-de'. I found this tip in an unoffical forum, there was no hint in the official documentation. I think the language tools should be installed by default. OpenOffice is probably the first app that a noob wants to install. So why not adding the dicts automatically? If this is not possible, there should be a hint in the elog info system at least.

Actually, the user still have to guess it now has to emerge myspell. First to guess he has to emerge a spellcheck (while OOo used to come with dics by default before), and to find it is myspell, and neither aspell or ispell. Markus, you may find comment #2 of Bug 162095 interesting. Would adding a USE flag be a problem ?

From #gentoo-bugs: <msavigear> Tommy[D]: According the docs, oo3 doesn't work with myspell, that's only the 2.x series. You now need extansions but they (en en_GB) don't seem to be in the build, and aren't on the oo website.
sorry, wrong bug
