[gf <927256@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Carlos,
Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with the spanish language package and Thunderbird.

You made this bug report in 2012 and there have been several versions of
Ubuntu and Thunderbird since then.

Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the ticket? 
Or, if it is still a problem, could you run the following (only once):
apport-collect 927256

and upload the updated logs and and any other logs that are relevant for
this particular issue.

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu and Thunderbird better.

G

Title:
  Please remove clutter-creating soft links to same spanish dictionary

Bug description:
  Hi,

  myspell-es creates a bunch of softlinks under /usr/share/hunspell for
  spanish dictionaries for latin american countries. This only creates,
  in my opinion, two problems:

  1) It misleads the user into thinking that these dictionaries are
  actually distinct, say, as the UK and the US english ones. They are
  obviously the same.

  2) It creates a lot of visual clutter in the applications that use
  them. When I open the spelling language chooser in Thunderbird, for
  example, the list of meaningless choices fills the screen, and it
  actually makes hard to find the choice I care about (mostly just
  switching between english-us and spanish-they-are-all-the-same).

  Please consider this a minor/wishlist bug, with the suggested option
  of:

  1) Removing all es_++ options but one.
  2) Choosing that one for the user (easier, say es_ES ) or giving the user the option of using whatever suffix they want for their country, but let's be straight with them and let them now this is vanilla dictionary.

  Gracias.
