At the bottom of Writer's window is a sort of tool bar. The 3rd button from
the left shows the current language. Optionally select a section of text.
Click on this button. Follow your nose ...
NB This is true on Windows. I can't confirm it for Mac or *nix. It has been
true since *about* v2.4

Thanks, Harald ! I do, indeed, now see a language box in the status bar in
Writer on my Ubuntu system. Unfortunately, when I click it, the only
language alternatives I see are the default «English (USA)» and «Swedish
(Sweden)», which do not suffice for my needs. How can I add other languages
here, so that I have several alternatives from which to choose ?...
Install the dictionaries for the languages you want, and the languages
will appear on that list.
In OOo 3.0.1, to add other dictionaries, use Tools > Language > More
Dictionaries Online. OOo will open your default web browser to a page
containing links to additional dictionaries that you can install. Follow
the prompts to install them.
