I was trying to avoid that method

This way, as I understand this correctly, the dictionary gets installed
only for the user. I wanted to have it installed system wide.

Thanks.

Hello H.S.

I'm having the same situation, it looks that the Canadian dictionary
doesn't exist yet! and by default it use U.S. dictionary.

My preference in this case is to use British dictionary, but i can't.

In addition, and I not sure about this since I haven't tried, one might
also need to be using a en_GB.UTF-8 locale. Would love to be enlightened
on this though.
