The myspell-bg_BG package contents have been encoded in CP1251. The problem manifests when one tries for example to use gedit/Gnome3 editor for spellcheck. The spellcheck simply misbehaves, marking all correctly spelled Bulgarian words as errors.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install myspell_bg_BG package;
2. Add 'Set Language' to Bulgarian in gedit/Gnome3;
3. Mark the 'Highlight Misspelled Words' checkbox in gedit/Tools;
4. Add a sentence to check in Bulgarian and an English sentence for control;
Actual Results:  
When 'Set Language' is set to English, only the words at the Bulgarian sentence are marked as misspelled - correct behavior.
When 'Set Language' is set to Bulgarian - all words from both languages are marked as misspelled - correct behavior for English text and incorrect behavior for the Bulgarian text.


In addition the contents of the English package of myspell-en_US are properly set to UTF-8 or ASCII, while the contents of the myspell-bg_BG package are CP1251 encoded.

$ head -2 /usr/share/hunspell/bg_BG.aff
SET microsoft-cp1251

I have found the next manual workaround currently to fix the functionality for spellcheck in gedit/Gnome3 after the install of the package myspell-bg_BG:

1. Convert the CP1251 to UTF-8 contents of the wrongly encoded files by: 

sudo iconv -f CP1251 -t UTF-8 /usr/share/hunspell/bg_BG.aff
sudo iconv -f CP1251 -t UTF-8 /usr/share/hunspell/bg_BG.dic
sudo iconv -f CP1251 -t UTF-8 /usr/share/mythes/th_bg_BG_v2.dat
sudo iconv -f CP1251 -t UTF-8 /usr/share/mythes/th_bg_BG_v2.idx

2. Replace the microsoft-cp1251 string with the UTF-8 string in the files above.

Please, review the problem and provide a kind of a permanent fix for the package myspell-bg_BG for future usage and updates.
