On Windows for some reason libreoffice has spell checks working just fine but on Linux it doesn’t work at all. I believe this may have to do with missing extensions but then how come on Windows it exists but not on Linux?
Anyways I am looking for English Australian spell checks, anything I can do to get it working?
Install hunspell
and hunspell-en_au
.
A tip for the future, you can see the list of optional dependencies for any installed package by passing the -Qi
option to pacman
.
EDIT: fixed the typo, sorry about that

I had similar problem recently. If you download the relevant language pack for Libreoffice, this doesn’t enable the spellcheck function. Try downloading the relevant Australian English dictionary from:
https://extensions.libreoffice.org/en/extensions/show/english-dictionaries
In Libreoffice menu open Tools/Extension manager, select the downloaded file, then restart Libreoffice

Thanks but I think @Kresimir suggested easily using terminal
Precisely… and there you see that is uses hunspell
for spell checking. And then you can look up language packages for hunspell
:
pacman -Ss hunspell
