People should learn to read !!
If you start C::B with an unconfigured spellchecker-plugin you get an annoying dialog telling you, that you need dictionaries, with a link to the appropriate wiki-site: http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=SpellChecker_plugin .

Most people tend to close such dialogs immediately, because they are used to try to work without reading manuals (and similar) and bother others instead.

I will write up a patch, but which English:

--- Code: ---    m_LanguageNamesMap[_T("en")]    = _T("English");
    m_LanguageNamesMap[_T("en_AU")] = _T("English (Australia)");
    m_LanguageNamesMap[_T("en_CA")] = _T("English (Canada)");
    m_LanguageNamesMap[_T("en_GB")] = _T("English (United Kingdom)");
    m_LanguageNamesMap[_T("en_NZ")] = _T("English (New Zealand)");
    m_LanguageNamesMap[_T("en_US")] = _T("English (United States)");
    m_LanguageNamesMap[_T("en_ZA")] = _T("English (South Africa)");

--- End code ---

I am not certain, but I think this dialog might fail to show up if a dictionary location is correctly guessed; I will be switching this to always show up on first run.

@dev:
1. Probably we should do something about this problem?
2. Disable spellcheck by default?
3. Provide dictionaries?
4. Don't highlight anything if there is no dictionary?

It seems that 4 is the best option...

Disable this plugin by default. Those who need it will enable it. It is unnecessary to force it to users.

Attached is my recommended solution.

ptDev:
In my installer, I modified SpellChecker so that US English is the default. I also make the installation of en-US compulsory if SpellChecker happens to be installed.

This avoids the aforementioned problems.
