Page edit - language list empty

C-novice · 08-23-2022, 04:23 PM

Page edit:

Don't know if it's the way it should be, but going to Preferences, General Settings, the User Interface Language list is empty.

If it's not supposed to be empty, how does one populate it? using KDE on PCLOS.

Any suggestions will be really helpful.

Have you built PageEdit yourself, or is it in the PCLOS repositories? We definitely include a basic language list when building on Linux.

The problem is that the dictionaries are qtwebengine dictionaries. Many distros are tackling the issue of supplying them (if they DO supply them) differently. Arch Linux currently packages them with their corresponding hunspell language dictionaries. Perhaps PCLOS is not providing these dictionaries (or providing them in a different way).

They really shouldn't be packaging PageEdit (or at least they shouldn't be disabling our default dictionary installation when they package it) if they have no plan for providing the qtwebengine dictionaries themselves.

Check to see if there's any .bdic files in /usr/share/qt/qtwebengine_dictionaries. That's where PageEdit will look for them, and that's where a custom build of PageEdit will install them if it wasn't built with the -DINSTALL_BUNDLED_DICTS=0 cmake option.

No, I didn't build them; they're in the repos. Thanks. Seems to be okay now.
