hunspell dictionary not recognized in Thunderbird 102, when installed as Debian package

Question

On Debian 12, I have installed additional language hunspell dictionaries:

But when I start Thunderbird 102, it does not see them. When I click on Languages, it only offers the default English (United States)

Hunspell dictionary works when I install the dictionary locally as Addon. But then, I would have to install it individually for all my profiles.

Howe can I install hunspell dictionary as Debian package and use it in Thunderbird ?

What DE are you using ? How do you launch thunderbird ? Is it identical (only showing default language) if you launch Thunderbird from console ? — MC68020, Aug 11 '23 at 16:06

Here is a solution that works:

in the thunderbird .desktop file, at the Exec= line, add env enviroment path to hunspel dictionaries:

Exec=env DICPATH=/usr/share/hunspell
