Really? Do you learn a new language every day? I installed languages that I am interested years ago and forgot about it until you mentioned it.
- GranPC 7y agoNo, but some people write text in more than one language inside Firefox.
- takeda 7y agoyou can add as many as you want (at least I didn't hit the limit) it's just 2 clicks for each and they are retained between upgrades, the parent issue is that Firefox doesn't come with every language installed by default.
- flexd 7y agoA lot of us are bi-lingual. English is not my first language, so being able to use spell checking for my native language and English without things breaking is important to me.
- takeda 7y agowell, I'm bi-lingual as well, I only needed to install languages once. I don't want to have installed dictionary for every language under the sun. They do take space.
- pier25 7y agoYeah but you don't have spell checking on all these languages unless you manually switch between those. I write in 4 languages so it's quite annoying to do that every time. In Chrome there is multilingual spell checking even when you mix languages in the same sentence.
- takeda 7y agooh my bad, I misunderstood what he meant.
- SensateCreature 7y agoNot everyone is mono-lingual.
- zhdyudshdh 7y agoThis is a let the wookie win situation. Smile, nod, and continue to prioritize English quietly or else the Europeans complain while refusing to build anything competitive and better. It's just how they are.
