Comment 15 for bug 315562

Is the title of this bug maybe incorrect?

I think the real problem is "You can't select the default language you want Gedit to use for spell checking".

Sounds like that was true in 2009 & I think it is still true today, isn't it?

Seems to be to me using Ubuntu 12.10.

I live in France, most of my PC is in English, though the keyboard is French, and I only want spell checking when I write in French.

Gedit decides I want English, for whatever reason (& I don't care what reason) & I have to set French EVERY time I want to use it.

What I would like (and absolutely expect) is to be able to select whatever language I want (in my case French) as default, then select whatever other language I want (maybe German, English, USA or whatever) if I want, occasionally, with fallback to French next time.

I certainly don't expect to be uninstalling dictionaries to trick Gedit into doing something...
