Hello, Guix! It might be this question was somewhere, but I did not found on guix-help archive and duckduckgo.
Please, what to do for LibreOffice Writer make a spell check?
It has no any spell check module now and dictionaries are empty. I've just installed it with `guix install libreoffice`
`guix search libreoffice` does not show any language pack.
My system config attached.

You need to install the appropriate hunspell-dict-* packages I believe.

Cheers!

Sorry for my ignorance, but huspell has only french and does not work even with english.
I have installed hunspell but this makes no changes. Also `guix search hunspell` does not give russian dictionary.
I had worked spell check on my previous Guix installation but cannot remember what I did.

Re: OS Guix. Libreoffice does not have dictionaries for spell check

[znavko]

yes. english dictionary is presented in guix - package 'hunspell-dict-en'
so after installing it and clicking in Libreoffice Writer Tools -> Language -> For all text -> English
I've got spell check.
But how to install russian dictionary now?

PS: also guix search output is dreadfully not full.

It seems we have 2 issues here:

- We miss many dictionaries.
- It seems that non-english dictionaries are not seen by Libreoffice.
  I've tried installing hunspell-dict-fr but it wasn't listed in
  Libreoffice options.

Anyone?

Hello, Pierre Neirdhardt!
Yes, this is not so convenient as could be.
But there is a way to solve, here I've posted:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2020-03/msg00171.html
It is possible to use dictionaries from LibreOffice site and 
it is possible to add themwith menu:
Tools -> Language -> More dictionaries online

I think LibreOffice has difficult architecture, and Guix too.
And developers of LibreOffice should take a view of how they can help here.

Indeed, thanks for the tip.
That said, Guix is supposed to handle this itself.
It's probably a bug.

[znavko]

The link from Libreoffice Writer in menu Tools -> Language -> More dictionaries online
and search there: https://extensions.libreoffice.org/extensions?getCategories=Dictionary&getCompatibility=any&sort_on=positive_ratings&path=%2FPlone%2Fextensions&portal_type=tdf.extensionsuploadcenter.eupproject&SearchableText=russian
helped!

Thanks. 

PS: This topic is for that reason that Guix has its own work with packages and Applications, often have to do work harder then application developers consider for application users.
