 Replying to [comment:1 nacin]:
 > mce_spellchecker_languages is such a weird filter...

 Yes, unlikely the rest of the TinyMCE related filters it only exposes the
 actual option there. As far as I remember the idea was that the list of
 available languages in the editor would be replaced for different locales,
 not translated.

 On the other hand it's been a long standing questions whether to keep this
 TinyMCE plugin in core at all. It adds quite a bit of PHP code duplication
 some of our API, uses Google translate by default which may go away one
 day, and is not particularly useful in all browsers except IE as they have
 built-in spellcheckers that are configurable, etc.

 It seems [http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2011/11/08/typing-with-speed-
 and-accuracy-in-ie10.aspx IE10 will include a spellchecker], so perhaps we
 should reevaluate keeping that MCE plugin in core. Seems better if it was
 an external WP plugin that would add it.
