How can I install 2 additional spell-check dictionaries

[dougmn]

My LibreOffice came with the English (UK) dictionary pre-installed. I would like to install and use the dictionaries for English (USA) and Spanish (Mexico). How do I download and install these two additional dictionaries?

Hello,

sudo apt install hunspell-en-us [English (USA)]
sudo apt install hunspell-es [Spanish (Mexico)]

should provide the additional dictionaries on Ubuntu 18.04.

Hope that helps.

Thank you Opaque. Initially the newly installed dictionaries did not show up, but then I remembered to restart LO, and they are there. Solved!

Alternatively to the other suggestion: get what you need from the extensions site and install.
