[otrs] How to add support for new languages in Spell Checker?

3 Aug 2009

      Hi everyone,
 I have OTRS 2.4.2 running in a CentOS box and a lot of happy users :)

 The thing I still haven't found how to do is to replace the default
english/german spellcheckers that came with the system.
I installed support for spanish/brasilian portuguese in ispell/aspell
and I can see them listed if I run aspell dicts. 

$ aspell dicts
en
...
es
pt
pt_BR
pt_PT

I tried to add them to Defaults.pm (couldn't find an option
in Sysconfig), e.g.:

    $Self->{PreferencesGroups}->{SpellDict} = {
        Module => 'Kernel::Output::HTML::PreferencesGeneric',
        Colum  => 'Other Options',
        Label  => 'Spelling Dictionary',
        Desc   => 'Select your default spelling dictionary.',
        Data   => {

            # installed dict catalog (check your insalled catalogues, e.
            # g. deutsch -=> german!)
            # dict => frontend (ispell)
            'english' => 'English',
            'spanish' => 'Spanish',
            'portuguese' => 'Portuguese',

            # dict => frontend (aspell)
#            'english' => 'English',
#            'german'  => 'Deutsch',
        },

However, the system doesn't show them in the users preferences.
Can you guys provide a few pointers to finally configure this?

TIA,
Mariano.
