Currently, LibreOffice only supports Hunspell dictionaries with file names in the
xx_YY.dic format, where xx is the language code and YY is the country or region
code.  This is an artificial limitation imposed by the LibreOffice spell checking
GUI.

The GUI should be updated to be able to select any valid Hunspell dictionary,
including those that only list a language code, like nl.dic, and those that have
other file naming syntax, like de_med.dic:

https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/all/hunspell-de-med/filelist

and sr_Latn_RS.dic:

https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/all/hunspell-sr/filelist

Hi,

Yes.

Ideally, yes. See my other reply, though.

But those have both even nonstandard names not detectable. Except you do de_ or sr_Latn. Can of Worms.

And the Serbian one has the symlinks, too.

See my reply in <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1109253#96>
