The bug:
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=40240

The spellchecker is broken for all non-US linux users. Even though
dictionary installation is successful, users are unable to select the
installed language pack. When an installed dictionary is selected, the
user's choice is dropped, and the selected language pack remains at the
default ... which seems to alternative between US Engligh, UK English
and Danish, depending on the build of OOo.

Another bug which compounds the issue:
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3310

OpenOffice will only perform a spell-check on a document if the
currently selected dictionary pack *exactly* matches the document's
language setting.

---

Clearly these 2 bugs combined result in spell-checking being
*completely* broken on non-US Linux systems. In my books, this is a
show-stopper. Please vote for
