Last week, we released #LibreOffice 25.8. But it's not just a major update of the free office suite – it's a strategic asset for organisations, governments and enterprises focused on digital sovereignty and #privacy: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl #foss #open #freesoftware

LibreOffice 25.8 banner, with "smarter, faster and more reliable"

@libreofficePlease, for the love of Haile Selassie, just get rid of the endlessly long list of uninstalled languages from the spell checker. I switch daily between Swedish and UK English, those are the only ones I usually want to see.#libreoffice

    @mrundkvist Hi! You can submit enhancement requests here: bugs.documentfoundation.org – But of course, we're a volunteer-driven project with very limited resources. To get a change more quickly, you can consider helping our volunteers, or funding a developer. Thank you β˜ΊοΈπŸ‘

    @libreoffice @mrundkvist It really shouldn't be that hard to offer a tick box list in the language settings. Because I will never need a separate spelling dictionary for English (Belize) or English (Israel). Ever. I only need 2 of the 18 Englishes, I should be able to hide the other 16.(And making regular users sign up for an account to submit bugs is one of FOSS culture's major problems. Just admit you don't want non-technical people to communicate with you.)

    Screenshot of the spellcheck interface in LibreOffice Writer. The list of available languages is zoomed to English. It has 18 different varieties, including Australia, Belize, Canada, Caribbean, Ghana, India, Ireland, Israel, Jamaica, Malawi, Namibia, New Zealand, Philippines, South Africa, Trinidad, UK, USA and Zimbabwe.

    @herzleid @mrundkvist If it's not very hard, then can you help us to do it? We have extremely limited resources and a ton of requests, and very few people offering to help. They just say "it shouldn't be hard" but don't do anything to make it happen. We can't do everything I'm afraid – not without more help. And re: Bugzilla needing an account, that's to stop spam. We get huge spam attacks but again, have extremely limited resources so need logins. We're really doing all we can.

    @libreoffice On one hand I get that, on the other I've actually tried participating in projects (a long time ago, not LO specifically) and I had a terrible experience every time (bc I don't code? bc I'm a woman? who knows?)I do appreciate Libre Office immensely, but being encouraged to file bugs when I know they will likely be dismissed bc they're "formulated incorrectly" or considered duplicates etc etc, is grating. Why bother?But sincerely, sorry you're stretched thin. Sorry I can't help.
