I'm an Aussie. I have en-AU dictionary installed and select it in the forum post box and it works fine. It shows default as en-AU in about:config. However every time I close and re-open it defaults back to German. Any ideas how to make it stick?

Still happening but I can't pin down what causes the change. It resets to "German/Luxembourg".
How can I make it stick on "English/Australia"?
Would it be safe to just rename or move the unneeded dictionaries in /usr/lib/icedove/dictionaries/ ?
I don't know enough German to be able to compose a message that would be understandable by Germans. Ich sprachst Deutsch sehr schlecht. :)

I think I finally fixed this; my locales were not set properly.
Code: [Select]
dpkg-reconfigure locales
and set default to en_AU UTF8.

This problem actually was never quite resolved properly, and it was still an issue in a freshly installed "December". I am happy to report that it is now completely fixed by removing myspell dictionaries which I did not need. Hopefully there are not unexpected consequences.

Code: [Select]
apt-get remove myspell-pl myspell-de-de myspell-it myspell-pt-br

No, there are no unexpected or negative consequences - you use a rc?

I am guessing you mean "rc" as "release candidate". No it is installed from December final release.
I also fly RC helicopters and have done no runlevel config. :)
