Have you installed the language pack for German-Switzerland? I don't know Fedora, but on Debian based distros you can search for language packs and install it afterwards.
(In reply to Thomas Lendo from comment #1) > Have you installed the language pack for German-Switzerland? => SET to NEEDINFO. Please change it back to UNCONFIRMED, when you've answered the question.
I have not installed a language pack, no. But the option is there anyway. That is a bit confusing for the end-user. Selecting a spelling for a langauge that is not installed should prompt the user to install the package. But that is a different problem and should be solved in another ticket.

So do you like to try it with the language pack or shall we close this bug? > That is a bit confusing for the end-user.

Selecting a spelling for a > langauge that is not installed should prompt the user to install the package. The visual difference is a symbol on the left of the spelling language name. If there is no symbol, no language pack or spell checking extension is installed for this language. Prompting the user to install something is not so easy from design perspective. Most people can't install it only because of a short info message dialog. Many ways how LibO is installed (Win-Installer, extracted Package, with Package system like on Linux distributions, portable Version ...) result in many ways how it must be handled.
This is the dictionary package name: hunspell-de
Created attachment 140829 [details] Example file I have noticed something similar 1. Local settings USA (Tools -> Options -> Language settings -> Languages 2. Open the attached file 3. Check spelling (F7) -> Spell checking complete. 4. Press OK 5. Try to select a different language (Italian/dutch) from the drop down box (can't be done). 6. Reload the document -> file reload 7. Type after book 'argh' 8. Press Check spelling or F7 9. Select a different language -> working
I can confirm the observed behaviour (comment 7). You can only select another language if you add a word that has to be corrected by the English spell checking Version: 5.4.6.2 (x64) Build ID: 4014ce260a04f1026ba855d3b8d91541c224eab8 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 6.19; UI render: default; Locale: en-US (de_DE); Calc: group I think this is a bug. Johannes, do you think it is the same problem?
Moving to NEW as per comment 8
