Hi there,

I've just downloaded AbiWord v2.2.10 and I can't get any dictionary to
install.

Any help would be most welcome please?

Regards,
John.

I am no expert in Abiword so there may be better ways to do it, but
here's what I found so far.

To check the occasional document:
Select all the text in your document (ctrl-A). Click Tools | Set
Language, choose a language, then check the box "make default for
document". The spell checker then looks at the dictionary file for
that language.
<http://www.abisource.com/help/en-US/interface/dialoglanguage.html>

The alternative is to change your Windows operating system "locale"
setting to an alternate language in Control Panel. This makes Abiword
spell-check in that language, but it also changes Abiword's menus and
prompts to that language, so you'd better be a fluent reader!
