I'm filing this as a comment here because it looks like it's the same problem.
Bug: Cannot change language of Writer document
I'm a translator. I receive French documents and translate them to English. I
prefer to run a French language OS/apps for various reasons, but I'd still like
to spellcheck documents in English.
But when I select Tools>Languages>Selection|Paragraph|Document, I see only
French as an option. I have verified that the dict-en.oxt extension is
correctly installed.
This bug was also present in earlier versions of LO (4.2.x IIRC), but (weirdly)
selecting a menu option other than the nice list of languages you'd hoped to
see on that menu, did then seem to bring up the English language options,
making it annoying, not fatal.
I've upgraded to 5.0.1.2 because there's no point reporting bugs on old
versions, but it's still there, or worse. Even the annoying workaround no
longer works.
I'd say this is quite a serious bug, in that if I wish to spellcheck document
in a language other than French, I have to use another machine. (I suppose this
might be considered a feature if you sell hardware).
See also bug N° 82184, and a slew of user language problems at
ask.libreoffice.org for more evidence of assumption of monolingualism in the
LibreOffice project.
