For the spellchecker, only the third option ("use alternative language" in the spellchecker options) is relevant. LyX tries to be clever and takes the name of the document language as ispell language option. This works sometimes, if the name of the babel file and the name of the ispell/aspell dictionary are identical. Often, they are not (cf. "german" vs. "deutsch"), and spell checking fails, unless you tell LyX the actual name of the dictionary. Jürgen
