language selector from the right-click menu doesn't print out correctly the language name
The language selector menu from the right-click menu doesn't print out correctly the language name of the spellchecker dictionary.
I have installed the venetan dictionary (language code ISO639-3 vec) I've created (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/dithionario-de-lengua-v%C3%A8neta/?src=ss) but in the right-click menu appears the language "vec" alongside my default "English (United States)". Why doesn't it spell out "Venetan"? Is there something I did wrong?

I don't think that your response is the right one. I, for example, installed the Catalan dictionary (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/general-catalan-dictionary/) and it displays Catalan even if its files are ca.aff and ca.dic. However, surprisingly, your answer worked: I renamed my files into Venetan.aff and Venetan.dic and it displays "venetan". Anyway I would like it to be internationalized. However, I wonder why the Catalan works and why, renaming my files with a capital V, I then see the language with a small v...

From https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Creating_a_spell_check_dictionary_add-on : "The .dic and .aff files must be placed in a subfolder named dictionaries within the ZIP file. Both files must have the locale code as their file name." May be because Firefox lacks my language?
