Thanks, I thought it must have been reported before.
I just never tried to use it with non-English language words in the text 
before.

It is very nice that the system will determine what language the word 
are and then give you the proper list of dictionaries installed[?] for 
you to choose, i.e. which version of Spanish you wish to use.

That is the feature I want to "sell" to various schools labs and 
computer center in the area.  For a school computer lab, you can have a 
student write a paper in French or Spanish and he/she would be able to 
have the paper checked for spelling [and maybe grammar] without needing 
it to be hand checked the way it is done now with their MS Word package 
that is being used in the local school district.  That feature alone 
would be nice for the students to use LibreOffice over MSO.  Then there 
are the "independent"  computer centers provided by housing facilities 
and agency groups where there are multi language kids, and adults, that 
need to have access to computer [and the Internet] since they do not 
have the money to have them in their homes.  Having every available 
language installed would help these centers provide the services that 
the people would need.
