Tools>Options>Language Settings>Languages and then choose your language
under "Default Languages for Documents" and, if you like, select  "For the
current document only".

If the language you choose has a tick and "abc" next to it then OpenOffice
can spell check in that language. If not you need to install the appropriate
dictionary first. Go to File>Wizards>Install New Dictionaries and follow the
instructions.

If you only want spell checking in one language, go to
Tools>Options>Language Settings>Writing Aids and make sure "Check in all
languages" is *not* selected.

If you want to spell check multi-lingual documents you will need to set a
Style for each language. Read about Styles in the Help and in the online
documentation.
