Hello,

I would like to kindly ask for help. I installed additional language in Firefox, it is enabled in addons but when I try to use spellcheck, I can't choose this additional language. I'm using 66.0.5 (64 bit), Windows 10 Professional 64 bit. I restarted my browser, installed another additional language but it does not help. Now I have 3 languages installed: polish, english US and dansk. I attached some pictures.

If you looked on top of https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/language-tools/ it gives you a description of what the Dictionary and Language pack are for.

When you are looking for how to spell a word in say a book, you would look in a Dictionary and not one that shows you the translations of word from one language to another.

Thank you for answers. It actually helped me, because I installed language pack, not a spell checker pack (dictionary)... I have chosen pack from second column in the table, not the third as I should... Now it's ok! Thanks for support.
