The South African English spell checker has just entered testing for Firefox and Thunderbird. We need your help to get it live.

To help please:

1. Download and install the spell checker. In Firefox this will automagically install the checker.
2. Thunderbird: you will first need to save the file to your computer and then from within Thunderbird add the checker: Tools -> Addons -> Install…
3. Now use the checker
4. Please provide a review - we need these to go live and of course if you see any bugs please report them to us. You can add them as comments to this posting.

Previously we mentioned that we had fixed the Linux locales so that they now correctly specify the outgoing international dialing prefix as 00, in the past it was 09. These have been committed to glibc and make their way to your Linux desktop soon.

A new version of the Afrikaans spell checker for Firefox and Thunderbird has been released.  If you already have it intalled then it should be automatically updated, otherwise you can download the checker.
