Top posting reply to Rogier,

The default installation will include language (dialogs and menus, and dictionary) of the detected system local language.
I can not say how complete the Spelling dictionary and hyphenation rules for Dutch are, but the Pootle translations for Dutch (language code nl) show as 99% complete. Perhaps Cor Nouws monitors this forum and will respond.

To support multiple languages (dialogs and dictionaries) and provide built-in help, you must choose a custom installation and select the additional languages as well as any additional dictionary support, as well as separately install the language specific built-in help.

Additionally, there is an older, OpenOffice.org era, Dutch spelling and hyphenation dictionary extension still posted to the Apache OpenOffice project site, not sure of its fitness for use. http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/node/1456/releases

So digging just a bit further, as referenced here in git repository
<http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/dictionaries/tree/nl_NL/README_NL.txt>
, LibreOffice uses the OpenTaal v2.00G word list--the same as the AOO posted
extension. Assume that is a fairly comprehensive dictionary list.

With correct installation, should be available to you in Dutch.

In the latest release of LibreOffice (4.2.4.2) the Dutch spell checker
is working as it should be.

In the Menu go to 'Extra' en then to 'Spelling en Gramatica' or hit
function key 'F7', then the Spellchekker will come up.

Hope this helps.

Tip.
On the Dutch Mailinglist you can ask questions in Dutch, maybe a list
you might want to use <users@nl.libreoffice.org>.

Greetings,

Piet Jan Koeleman.

Hi :slight_smile:
It might be faster to ask on the international translators mailing list
L10n@Global.LibreOffice.Org

May be you should ask on the dedicated mailing lists in your language
