LyX uses the ispell spelling checker. You should configure ispell to work with your system if it does not already. To get the appropriate language dictionary, refer to the Where file included with
the ispell package. Note that some dictionaries do not support the Latin1 encoding. If you have selected the Latin1 encoding (in the Document Layout dialog) with one of these dictionaries, the
spellchecker will not work for some people. Refer to the “Spellchecking” section of the LyX User's Guide for more details about international spellchecking.
