</div>Two other loftier thoughts:<br>
<br>
1) maybe spell checking dictionaries should get install "just in time" when the library is used,<br>
just like fonts get install when they're displayed.<br></blockquote><div>How would you detect which language of spellcheck dict you need to install for European languages, which basically share the same alphabet? <br>

<br>
2) maybe spell checking shouldn't have local dictionaries but use the internet like phones do.<br></blockquote><div>Some phones have builtin dictionaries. Using the internet means:<br>1) won't work for offline/LAN only machines<br>
2) privacy concerns<br>3) spellcheck might be really slow for users with very slow internet connection, for example Africa or India<br>4) we'll have to host it<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
