By default, OOo is delivered with a bunch of dictionaries activated by default (Swahili, Thai, Russian, English, ...). But for license issue, some languages cannot be included in this package. This is why you have to download them separately.

You may want to disable the exotic languages that you probably don't need, especially if you've activated the option '''Check in all languages''' in menu '''Tools>Options>Language Settings>Writing Aids''' and in the bottom area '''Options'''.

Edit the file '''dictionary.lst''' in <OOo install folder>/share/dict/ooo and only keep the bunches of 3 lines (DICT, HYPH and THES) with the locales you want. More details can be found inside this file. It should look like that :
+
DICT en US en_US
+
HYPH en US hyph_en_US
+
THES en US th_en_US_v2
+
DICT fr FR fr_FR
+
HYPH fr FR hyph_fr_FR
+
THES fr FR th_fr_FR_v2
+
DICT fr FR fr_FR-1990
+
 
+
Note that here, there are 2 dictionaries for a same language (French): one for the 'old' rules, one for the 'new' rules.
