  1. I'm having a similar problem but in a Windows environment (Windows 10 - 64-Bit), not Linux. I'm in South Africa and Affinity is wanting me to use the "en-ZA" dictionary but it is apparently not installed. I've gone 2 ways trying to sort this out: 1. I downloaded the dictionary from Apache, but it is a .OXT file and apparently I need OpenOffice installed to open it, which I don't want to do. I work with Microsoft 365 and I don't want to put OpenOffice on my laptop, firstly because of space and secondly because I don't want to mess up my Microsoft 365 installation and I don't know if the 2 will clash. So that appears to be the end of the road for following the instructions within Affinity Publisher that I could find. 2. Within Windows I discovered that I didn't have English (South Africa) installed, so I downloaded it and now have my Windows Display Language as "English (United States) and my Preferred languages set to "English (South Africa). I then went into Affinity Publisher and made every setting that I could find read English (United States). Restarted the program as instructed, but defaulted back to wanting the "en-ZA" dictionary which is not found. I've tried locating where Windows downloaded the English (South Africa) language pack to, so that I can try putting it in the folder that Affinity Publisher appears to looking at (C:\ProgramData\Affinity\Common\1.0\Dictionaries), but I can't seem to locate it anywhere. I did find the "en-US" folder and tried copy and pasting that to above location and making everything English (United States) but again no luck. While I have some PC knowledge, I am by no means an expert and I am now at a loss. The only thing that makes sense to me is to somehow open the .OXT file and install the required dictionary from there, but as I've stated, I don't want to put OpenOffice on my PC and even if I were to do that to open the file, will the file remain installed once I remove OpenOffice afterwards? Does anyone have any advice / a fix for me on this please? At the moment I can't check any spelling as it is defaulting to en-ZA and that dictionary is not installed and I can't seem to change it to something else. I haven't included any screenshots but if anyone needs any further info so that they can assist me, just let me know what you require and I'll see what I can do. Thanks so much 😃 Regards Sara
