<font face="Verdana">Subject: gnome-utils: Limited list pre-configured
of dictionaries<br>
Package: gnome-utils<br>
Version: 2.14.0-1<br>
Severity: wishlist<br>
Tags: l10n<br>
<br>
This problem was introduced with the latest version of the gnome
dictionary applet. The previous version had a comprehensive list of
dictionaries to choose from. This is no longer the case for no obvious
reason. The interface has changed but the new interface can accommodate
the old complete list.<br>
<br>
Moreover, trying to add a new "source" as it is called in the new
"Preferences" dialog is a mystery. There are some dropdown lists but
with nothing to choose from. I tried a few values I guessed but could
not get the applet to work with any new source I add.<br>
<br>
I am particularly interested in the English-Arabic and Arabic-English
(was not there before but there was a "translating dictionaries" that
did the trick) dictionaries. English-Arabic dictionary does exist on
the dict.org server.<br>
<br>
Another unexpected problem is that once a source is added it cannot be
edited. It has to be removed and then re-added!<br>
