I agree with Enrico that in this particular case LyX is not to blame, but the problem is more general: LyX simply asks for a dictionary that is named after the document language and does not check at all whether that is a vlid dictionary name. That works well in many cases, but not in all, and I think we need a translation list LyX language name -> dictionary name for all supported languages and dictionaries.
