Tools > Language > For Selection
shows the language attribute of the selected text at the cursor
position (with a check mark).
There you can change the language attribute for the selection.

With Tools > Language > For Paragraph / For all Text
you can change the language attribute (at the cursor position) for the
paragraph or for all text.
There are no check marks.

The language attribute at the cursor position is shown in the status bar.
Please set the cursor in a part of your text, where spell check isn't available.
What language is shown in the status bar?

Open the Styles and Formatting window (F11).
What language attribute is shown in the Font tab for the "Default"
paragraph style
(Right click > Modify)?

Set the cursor in a part of your text, where spell check isn't available.
What paragraph style is highlighted in the Styles and Formatting window?
What language attribute is there shown in the Font tab?

does it work?

Tools > Language > For all Text > (select) Reset to Default Language -
does it work?

Could you upload (somewhere - not to the mailing list) a sample
document with broken spell check?
