Does the dictionary directory contain the corresponding GB files, i.e.
en_GB.dic, hyph_en_GB.dic and th_en_GB.dat? If not you need to get
those.
I don't think there is a GB thesaurus though, only a US one, so I would
change the last line to
THES en GB th_en_US
so that the US thesaurus is made available for GB use, which is better
than nothing. (I doubt this problem would stop the GB spellchecking from
working though.)
If you have the dictionary files already, the only other thing I can
suggest is that you check that the default document language is set to
UK English, and that any documents you've already made that you need to
spellcheck are also set to UK English. (If necessary you can do a
"Select All" and then change just the language in the font settings
dialogue without disturbing the other font settings.)
