23341	Spell checker in the editor shows languages not supported by google spellchecker like hebrew	mark-k		"The spell checker in the editor uses via tinymce code the google translate service. Problem is that WordPress code assumes that the service supports all languages

{{{
/*
translators: These languages show up in the spellchecker drop-down menu, in the order specified, and with the first
language listed being the default language. They must be comma-separated and take the format of name=code, where name
is the language name (which you may internationalize), and code is a valid ISO 639 language code. Please test the
spellchecker with your values.
*/

$mce_spellchecker_languages = __( 'English=en,Danish=da,Dutch=nl,Finnish=fi,French=fr,German=de,Italian=it,Polish=pl,Portuguese=pt,Spanish=es,Swedish=sv' );

/*
The following filter allows localization scripts to change the languages displayed in the spellchecker's drop-down menu.
By default it uses Google's spellchecker API, but can be configured to use PSpell/ASpell if installed on the server.
The + sign marks the default language. More: http://www.tinymce.com/wiki.php/Plugin:spellchecker.

$mce_spellchecker_languages = apply_filters( 'mce_spellchecker_languages', '+' . $mce_spellchecker_languages );

But google insist that they support only 12 languages http://support.google.com/toolbar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=32703, therefor not any localization can localize it (ok it can, but it is pointless). The end result for hebrew is that any gibberish text thrown at the spell checker returns as good text.
