[libreoffice-users] Re: LibreOffice RC1 and language packs on Linux (Mandriva 2010.1)

I have installed LibreOffice RC1 (US) with language packs UK, FR. When I
check to see if spelling is activated on the language packs that have
been downloaded, there is no check marks showing next to these
languages. I thought that this was usually the way to add specific
language dictionaries. Spellcheck does not seem to work in any language.

Am I doing something wrong?

As I understand it a Language Pack is designed to change the language of the 
UI - menus, Help text etc. Language Packs have nothing to do with spell 
checking or with the language(s) in which you write your documents. You need 
Dictionaries which come in the form of "extensions".

I cannot find (Google) a web site for LibreOffice extensions so I suppose 
you need to use the OpenOffice ones. Please, someone tell me I'm wrong about 
this :-(
