 Replying to [comment:4 mcs]:
 > If we also want to avoid bad translations of the spellchecker.dictionary
 values, we should take those out of translators hands as well. But we do
 want different values for different locales, so solving this is a harder.
 We could:
 > 1. Remove the spellchecker.dictionary values entirely, in which cases
 users will get en-US spellchecking and they will need to choose their
 dictionary after they download and install it.

 Okay, I spent quite some time here. I think we should go with this plan.
 The reason why they actually get en-US spellchecking is that we ship that
 dictionary in all locales. So, shipping this and then setting the
 `spellchecker.dictionary` pref to the respective bundle locale does not
 make much sense to me. If we want to the user to spellcheck in the bundle
 locale it is in fact easier to just ship the en-US dictionaries in the en-
 US bundle and let the user download the missing dictionary (which they
 need to do anyway) other ones. This ensures that they get the spellcheck
 locale activated right away without the need to have
 `spellchecker.dictionary` at all. If we, on the other hand, want to allow
 the user to spellcheck with en-US dictionaries then the
 `spellchecker.dictionary` pref is superfluous (too).
