This would not be a good fix. Say, you have no "default language" dictionary;
but you have another dictionary, and there is a word of that language in the
text. If that word has a spelling error, it will be shown in the end.

On the other hand, you may have *all* languages of the document having their
dictionaries; as long as there is no spelling errors in the document, the check
will end up with "None". It says nothing about installed / needed dictionaries.

If you focus on the dialog, we could add a summary to the *final message* - the
one that says "The spellcheck is complete". The data *there* could include:

1. The number of words, sentences, paragraphs checked (potentially in
selection);
2. The number of mistakes found, fixed, ignored;
3. The list of languages in the checked text - and here, we could also add
marks which of these languages had no dictionaries, and thus, excluded from the
check.

Since this dialog is shown anyway, it is OK to add more text to it - no
additional nag. Who needs that, could read; who doesn't, may skip. The details
could hide under a collapsing section ("More / Details", like "Other Options"
in F&R dialog) if wanted...

Note that before we finished, we have no such statistics - the spell check goes
sequentially through the document/selection, and only after the end, we know
for sure if there was some dictionary missing.

Note also, that this would avoid the strange "only care about the "default"
language".
