As Russel said (and is explained in the link) you need a spell check dictionary of that language. For example English US should be available by default. And the second screen shot you posted shows only the existence of a "user-defined" dictionary. Those are for 'customizing' the already existing spell check dictionary for that language to a small extend. You can not use them on their own. They get checked as well when you already have a working dictionary for that language...
