Those files (symbolic links) with a hyphen are there for a reason. I
have no courage to simply remove them. Firefox should deal with them
then?

Bug description:
  If you right click on a Firefox text area, you can select which
  language to use for spell checking. In this list I see:

    + en_us
    + English / Verenigde Staten
    + en_uk
    + English / Verenigd Koninkrijk

  As you can see they both us-en and uk-en show up translated to my
  language (Dutch) and as an acronym. They seem to behave the same
  though.

  Perhaps this is an issue with translated dictionary names, perhaps
  this is just an issue of having differently named packages installed
  containing the same dictionaries. I'm not really sure where they get
  their dictionaries from.

  I had to install a dutch dictionary using an add-on: it was not
  installed by default, even though the rest of my desktop was
  translated to Dutch. But I'll post that as a seperate bug.
