I'm on AMD64, but I suppose the fix will be broadly the same across arches:

Sorry...I don't know. I've never had to do that, and I only have the one dictionary installed. I had a quick Google around, but couldn't turn up much. Have a play around with the eselect module. Maybe it will allow you to set two dictionaries?

hmm good question, I dunno.

Try to re-emerge myspell-en and myspell-de and try again.
I just tried it with 2 other dictionaries and it was successful.

Thanks for the tip, I would never have guessed why my spelling checker wasnt working when I clearly had gibberish
I didn't notice that It wasnt working until my boss asked me why I couldn't spell a certain word...and I remembered having spell checked the document.

sigh,,,, I SHOULDNT return w/o an error if its not using ANY dictionary what so ever....

Right, it didn't work here, found this thread, installed myspell-en, myspell-nl and myspell-de, the three languages I would like spell checking in. But still no spellchecking at all. OpenOffice claims only support for spanish has been installed, which is one I haven't got on my system.

I'm using openoffice-bin by the way.
