Change spell check language in WPS Office
updated for version 10.1
The extracted directory from downloaded archive (e.g. en_US, fr_FR, etc) can be put in /opt/kingsoft/wps-office/office6/dicts
(all users) but also in ~/.kingsoft/office6/dicts
(for each user).
Some dictionaries come with improper names. In each language-folder (e.g. fr_FR) the files have to be renamed so the package of each language has (at least) three files with the following names:
dict.conf
main.aff
main.dic
Review --> Spell Check --> Set Language --> Set Default
UPDATE: Ubuntu 18.04 with WPS 10.1, name and location of the dictionaries was not the decisive factor in my case: the new dictionaries would not appear in the list (under Review --> Spell Check --> Set Language --> Set Default) unless they were first added under Review --> Spell Check --> Spell Check --> Custom dictionaries --> Add.
And there added from any location without changing their names - only then resulting in them being listed as indicated initially under Review --> Spell Check --> Set Language --> Set Default.

I use latest version for Linux (Alpha16 Patch3).
According to official guide:Installation
1) (from web) Download The Spellcheck Zip Install Package, e.g.: en-US.zip
2) (from WPS) Review --> Set Spellcheck Language --> Install, and choose en-US.zipBut I can't find "Install" button:

gloschtla over 7 yearsI have supplementary notes to the previously posted answer: In my case text correction in WPS Writer only worked after I have copied the file "main.dic" (3,6 MB) from the installation directory into the user directory, and renamed it to "CUSTOM.DIC", so I replaced the existing empty file "CUSTOM.DIC" (0 bytes) > /opt/kingsoft/wps-office/office6/dicts/de_DE/main.dic > /home/*USERNAME*/.kingsoft/office6/data/de_DE/CUSTOM.DIC
