Dictionaries
You can choose the dictionary to use for spell checking from the list of installed dictionaries.

Encodings
The most commonly used character encodings are:
US-ASCII 	 This is the character set used for English text.
ISO-8859-1 	 This is used for Western European languages.
UTF-8 	 This is a Unicode encoding that can be used for almost any language, if your system has the necessary fonts.
You should select the one that matches the character set you are using. In some cases, dictionaries will support more than one encoding. A dictionary might, for example, accept accented characters when ISO-8859-1 is selected, but accept email-style character combinations (like 'a for an accented a) when US-ASCII is selected. Please see your dictionary's distribution for more information.
