How do I remove the dictionaries I don't need?



By default, OOo is delivered with a bunch of dictionaries activated by default (Swahili, Thai, Russian, English, ...). But for license issue, some languages cannot be included in this package. This is why you have to download them separately.

You may want to disable the exotic languages that you probably don't need, especially if you've activated the option Check in all languages in menu Tools>Options>Language Settings>Writing Aids and in the bottom area Options.

Edit the file dictionary.lst in <OOo install folder>/share/dict/ooo and only keep the bunches of 3 lines (DICT, HYPH and THES) with the locales you want. More details can be found inside this file. It should look like that : 

DICT en US en_US
HYPH en US hyph_en_US
THES en US th_en_US_v2
DICT fr FR fr_FR
HYPH fr FR hyph_fr_FR
THES fr FR th_fr_FR_v2
DICT fr FR fr_FR-1990

Note that here, there are 2 dictionaries for a same language (French): one for the 'old' rules, one for the 'new' rules.
