Hi, tried the same and found the following:
After opening the document there is no document-language set (-none- is 
displayed in the indicator field at the bottom, right). You have to select the 
complete text and select "English"  instead of "(non-proofing)" from the 
language list in the Tools -> Set-Language menu. After closing the dialog 
everything works as expected.

But I haven't found an Option to set the default language of new
documents to anything else than the system (GNOME) language. Anyone
knows a way to do it?
