On Windows, you might need to install the dictionaries (the files
containing the information for spell checking) manually.
First, you need to download the dictionary files for the
languages you want, e.g. from http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Dictionaries.
languages you want, e.g. from
http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/dictionaries.
Be sure to download the "Spelling" archives from this site. The
downloaded archive should contain one or more .dic and .aff files.

Once you downloaded the dictionaries, extract them into a folder of
your choice, e.g. C:\dictionaries. Then open to the Spell Check plugin
preferences dialog in Geany and choose the folder you just created.
You may need to restart Geany and then the installed dictionaries should
be available.
Instructions::

Currently, installing dictionaries into a custom folder only works
with Myspell/Hunspell dictionaries (http://hunspell.sourceforge.net/).
1. Download the archive you want to use
2. The downloaded archive with the extension .oxt is actually a ZIP
archive, so extract it as usual (e.g. with 7-Zip or another ZIP
unpacker). Extract the contents into a folder of your choice,
e.g. C:\dictionaries
3. Then open to the Spell Check plugin preferences dialog in Geany and
choose the folder you just created. You may need to restart Geany
and then the installed dictionaries should be available
