Imho the review is the right place to tell other users if an addon does not work 'plug-and-play'. If anyone likes to manually change files of dictionaries he's free to do so but it should not be the only way to make a plugin work.Also (like others before) I can't find the workaround in the 'description' of the plugin?! Maybe you have a different visualisation of the plugin page?Only one review describes how to tune the dictionaries - is this what you call the 'workaround'? (by Dvorak on Feb,27.)

Edit March,12: Sorry I neither can find the word 'troubleshooting' in any of your comments, nor a 'troubleshooting' section on the extension's page 'https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/dictionary-switcher/'Maybe we're really talking about different pages?

Edit again: Now I've found the clue! If I manually switch to "other language" "english (US)" then I can see your troubleshooting hints and even the note, how to contact you. Normally I automatically get forwarded to the german version of the page (and I assume for any other language than english(US) it's the same: we all can't see what you've written in the extension description! So that's why many non-english users are confused.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.3.2.1-signed.1-signed).

'Others before' had the excuse that I hadn't updated this page commenting the problem. If you found the note telling you what not to use a review for, you could have read two more lines, where it says 'Troubleshooting -> 1. If some of your installed dictionaries are not being displayed by the switcher:'.

As for manually changing files, there's no other way around a bug that is in Mozilla, not in the extension. But if you don't like doing so, then you're free not to.

Edit 0318: I see. I forgot Dao had written a German description -- Unfortunately my German is not up to par yet to update. Better to kill it off?
