Bug Description

I am using xubuntu 11.10 but also happens in 11.04 and ubuntu 11.04. And on firefox and thunderbird.

I only want English GB and Spanish Spain support. I do not have other extra languages installed in the synaptic package manager nor the firefox tool menu. But when I switch dictionaries it still offers me all the Spanish and English variants (I count more than 10). Makes it difficult to choose just the ones I want: GB and Spain.

How do I reduce my options? I can understand that generic English and generic Spanish might need to stay but that would still be 4 options.

I have uninstalled all the locale from firefox and thunderbird. Still the options are offered and even though I do not have english US nor english GB it still corrects spelling and knows the difference between color and colour.
