Version: kword-1.9.99.0-1mdv2009.1.i586 (using KDE 4.2.2) OS: Linux Installed from: Mandriva RPMs When writing in KWord in Estonian, almost all words are underlined red, only exceptions are words which resemble English words. Default language, though, is Estonian (et; there is also et_EE but it doesn't work, too). At the same time, spell checking works very well in OpenOffice.org Writer which is using myspell (or rather Hunspell). I'm not sure what does Kword use but apparently not myspell/hunspell.
Spell checker and language settings are in need of attention...
I confirm it for Walloon as well. Affect all KOffice products that use spellchecking Works well with KOffice 1.6.3 on the same machine.
Status update; KOffice 2.1 will detect configured language and use the appropriate dictionary. If there is nothing configured then it still incorrectly goes to en_US. This is in need of some user interface to configure or auto-detect the language.

SVN commit 1030665 by zander: Fixes app-wide language changes to be honoured by the speller. Remove the koffice-local clone of the config dialog and use the one from kdeui instead. Also listen to the language change and store that in our apps config file and restore that properly on restart.

Well, in 2.1.0 spell checking still does not work: whatever language you choose and how clever you try to be in writing incorrect words nothing is checked, at least not visually (with red underline or whatever).
spell checking is disabled in 2.1 due to being too broken.
Disabled at all or just by default? I mean I checked automatic spell check in the dialog - does it mean that spell check is supposed not work in that case, too?
What is with KDE 4.3 applications not supporting spell check properly/at all (e.g. in KWrite/Kate/Kile/etc. and auto ("on-the-fly") spell checking and now KOffice)? Can we hope for a brighter future in KDE 4.4?
Should work now in 2.2
Yeah, I can fonfirm it works in 2.1.81. Many thanks!
