I experienced strange behaviour with en-US-hu-ro 3 language build,
English dictionary was not selected. When I built all languages, it
worked as expected. So, I pushed these patches to libreoffice-3-6
branch, because they seem to work nicely in release build
configuration. Please note that it has l10n impact, because ID of
pt-BR dictionary name/description has been changes in scp2. I also
changed them in translations module and updated Pootle.
