How to obtain additional languages for the new spell check engine in Notes 8.5.1 and higher
Technote (troubleshooting)

Problem
Starting in version 8.5.1, a new Spell Check engine used by LotusNotes is also used by the embedded Lotus Symphony tools and the embedded Lotus Sametime client. Additional language dictionaries for the new spell check engine are available in UpdateSite_xx.zip files,where 'xx' is the language code.
NOTE: The "Legacy Spell Checker" feature still utilizes .dic files.

Resolving the problem
You can obtain additional language dictionaries for the new spellchecker engine from either the Lotus Notes 8.5.1 CD or from Passport Advantage Online. See below for details.

2. In the Notes Client, go to File > Application > Install, check on Search for new features to install, click Next and choose Add Zip/Jar Location.

Note: Ifthe "Install" option is still missing, please refer to the following technote for more guidance on adding the "Install" option:
