I reproduce this problem with a fresh install of 8.04 here in Canada:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dpkg-query -W openoffice.org-core
openoffice.org-core     1:2.4.0-3ubuntu6
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ 

Though I can work around this problem using Format > Character >
Language and choosing "English (USA)", several students for whom I
installed Ubuntu complain that spellcheck is broken.

I notice this problem on a fresh install of 8.04 in Canada,
"AutoSpellcheck" appears to be on, but does not detect misspellings and
Tools > Spellcheck reports that spellcheck completed successfully,
though misspellings are not detected.

I think in both cases (using AutoSpellcheck or Tools > Spellcheck)
OO.org should warn the user that no dictionary is available, instead of
reported that spellcheck completed successfully.

Thanks and best wishes, Jack
