Title:
  Missing symlinks to match locales

Status in libreoffice-dictionaries package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in libreoffice-dictionaries source package in Xenial:
  In Progress
Status in libreoffice-dictionaries package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Dictionaries like

  /usr/share/hunspell/es_ANY.aff
  /usr/share/hunspell/es_ANY.dic

  and

  /usr/share/hyphen/hyph_sv.dic

  are not recognized by LibreOffice, since their names don't include
  country codes. The proposed uploads in this PPA:

  https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/ubuntu/lo-dicts-symlinks

  renames such files, and also adds symlinks in some cases for locales
  with other country codes but the 'main' locale for a language.

  [Test Case]

  Example:

  * Install the Swedish language via Language Support

  * Start libreoffice with a Swedish locale
    LC_CTYPE=sv_SE.UTF-8 libreoffice --writer

  * Find that hyphenation is not available

  [Regression Potential]

  There is a drawback with this fix: For e.g. Spanish and Arabic users
  the symlinks will add items in the spellcheck menus of other
  applications but LibreOffice, where it would have worked without those
  symlinks. OTOH, this is the way it has been handled in Ubuntu up to
  15.10, so the fix basically restores the previous behavior.

  Other than that, the regression risk is low. This is only about files
  (including symlinks) in the /usr/share/{hunspell,hyphen,mythes}
  directories with limited affect on the system.
