Hello,

I successfully downloaded the language file on https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-Us/thunderbird/addon/woordenboek-nederlands/ (Dutch language). A click on the downloaded file results in a new (email) message with the woordenboek_nederlands-3.1.3.xpi file attached. This not seems right (Duh!).

Question is: where and how do I install the language?

OS: Linux (Ubuntu 18.04) Thunderbird: 52.9.1 (64-bit)

Update:

1. Terminal >> cp woordenboek_nederlands-3.1.3.xpi /usr/lib/thunderbird/extensions didn' t work (no permission)


2. Terminal: sudo nautilus >> copy woordenboek_nederlands-3.1.3.xpi into /usr/lib/thunderbird/extensions works but dictionary not visible in Thunderbirds drop-down list (preferences>composition/spelling)

You install xpi files via the Tools|Add-ons window.

I managed to download Dutch language via the Tools|Add-ons window.

So now what? Still can't select Dutch language for spell checking...

Ik weet of je al geholpen ben, maar er is een pagina [Thunderbird (Linux)] , met de nodige info.

Ik gebruik zelf uit veligheids overwegingen geen intern (PC) e-mail programma, maar voor Firefox installeer ik de woordenboek(en) vanuit Synaptic en dat werkt goed sinds ik met Ubuntu werk. Ik weet niet hoe Thunderbird zijn talen instaleert, maar de Firefox browser installeert standaard de Canadese, Engelse en Zuid-Afrikaanse 'language packs' naast de Nederlandse op about:addons in de "Voorkeuren".
