[Libreoffice-bugs] [Bug 144273] Spell check fails on document template

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=144273

--- Comment #3 from Uwe Auer <uwe at franke-auer.de> ---
Principle: Spell checking appears based on the language settings of text
portions 

- This document is not a template in the sense of LibreOffice template (.ott)
but an exemplar of a CV

- The document seems to have a history with Google Docs since its language
settings is {en} (which is typical for Google Docs exported to .ots format)
instead if "English (USA)" (or any other language variant of English, which is
supported by LibreOffice). In consequence there is no spell checking, since
{en} is not a supported language of LibreOffice

Solution: 
- Open the document
- In "Tools -> Options -> Language Settings -> Language" replace Western
Language (which is now {en}) by "English (USA)" (or any other variant of
English, which applies to your situation)
- Click button "Apply" 
- Check wavy red lines appearing in sample document

>From my perspective not a bug, but an unsupported language setting of the
document (version 7.3 should contain a fix for this)
