As far as I know the dictionaries are installed locally, not
included with the file.  Check the language selected for the
document, which should be shown on the Status Bar at window
bottom. If this does not fit your default language, you shuold be
able to Select All, then /Tools /Language: For all text (or for
selection - On some versions of OOo For all text didn't work
reliably, but For selection did) and change to your default
language, which might help the spell check.

And at AOO you have to install a dic extension first. Because the 
license we can not ship it with AOO. Dic's are maintained outside the

As you can see users would be confused and we are working on bundling 
dictionaries (downloaded from the extension repo) with the binary 
releases. I don't have the jira issue in place but I think that this way 
of bundling the pre-built binary extensions is allowed.


But we still need feedback about the dictionaries people would like to 
bundle for their language. See 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Bundled+Writing+Aids


Reminder, if we don't get the feedback we only focus on some obvious 
dictionaries and let it up to the users to install them

The problem is not realy that there is no dic. The problem is that the 
spellchecker works without dic. It would be not so confusing if you see 
no red lines ;-) It would be good if the spellchecker put a message no 
dicionary installed an the screen instead of working without dic. But 
this is more a low priority issue.


But we still need feedback about the dictionaries people would like to

As I know, German dictionaries are maintained by Karl Zeiler

I agree. Some feedback to users with no dictionary present would be a
nice-to-have. I realise this is a developer release but a project with
this profile will get users downloading it.

This problem, from a user perspective, is made worse by the fact that
this install (at least on windows 7) seems to hide away previous
installs of OOo so there is no longer a version with a working
spell-checker. We can try and warn users of this change, but they will
still download and complain.

The author of the Croatian dictionary very nicely relicensed
it under AL2, so I think we should respond by shipping it.
Russian has also been requested.

Perhaps it's just easier to go ahead and bundle the dictionaries
that were available last in our repository. That should cover
everyone's expectations for this release.

We need anyway a list of dictionary - link to the dic in the extension 
repo because we download them from there on demand.


And that is something that a lot of people can prepare ;-) HINT HINT

OK, OK ... I am busy now but I will work on that tonight

Hmm.. while here, I would like someone else to review the
