       @Siphonay just because there's an entry for it doesn't mean it's actually implemented. Like macOS has an Esperanto language option but no apps are actually translated for it.

       @impiaaa actually it is because it retrieves the list from the repos. If you don't update them only English shows.

       @impiaaa with this said maybe it's not complete, but somebody started implementing it

       @Siphonay @impiaaa it doesn't seem that unusual to be fair, there are likely to be quite a few people at universities OCRing or transcribing manuscripts from places like ancient monasteries or govt record offices etc and maybe someone thought it would be a good idea to have the language pack for spellchecking original documents?

       @vfrmedia @Siphonay @impiaaa how can you spell check a language where consistent rules for spelling or gramnar hadn't yet been developed?

       @dog @Siphonay @impiaaa I'm not a linguistics expert, but am curious about history of European languages and get the impression that there was at least some consensus on spelling/grammar developing around the time the printing press became widespread (around 1470 for France)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_spread_of_the_printing_press#France
