Re: Help us create a curated list of dictionaries for each shipping locale in Firefox

Hi Flod.

Great, I will add Czech dictionary to the list later today.

A quick question, what will be the scenario when the user does not need to
switch, e.g.:
- new installations directly in the target language
- existing installations in the targer language

Will those be offered to install the dictionary too?
