The dropdown to select the default language only has an unqualified
(either 1901 or 1996) “German (Germany)”.

I have hunspell-en-gb and myspell-de-de-1901 installed, and when I
click the Edit button next to hunspell, I can see that it sees both
languages as having spellcheck installed, but the Default Language
dropdown only shows one.

I see you Cced LTS but it's not thir job to fix upstream shortcomings.

Does it also happen on supported versions?

Two? Or one?

Two would be another case of https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1124119

I would argue it's thet dictionaries' bug by not conflicting against hunspell-de-de any then providing de_DE.

I don't link it's LibreOffices job to pick up any random dictionary anywhere anyhow imho.

Hi,

one more:

Only those two? No other de_DE.dic present? Which is what LibreOffice looks for.
As for https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1124119 I am actually suprised it finds -1901.dic.

https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/lingucomponent/source/lingutil/lingutil.cxx#n63

The only exception I see here directly is hu_HU-u8

("old-style" is what we use in the case dics are in /usr/share/hunspell, we don't package every dict up as an extension, which would
be the other way but only be for LO and leaving all those others out).

Anyways:

It just occured to me that you wrote *default* document language.

I thin you don't need it, for LibreOffice it's German (Germany), regardless of what dictionary is behind it.
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/i18npool/source/localedata/data/de_DE.xml

So if this dict is found for German (Germany), you should be fine, shouldn't you?
