@virtuous_sloth @keoni The kernel, Linux doesn't handle spellcheck or languages.
When it comes to language support, GNU is really the only project that has bothered to properly support languages other than English;
https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/
One GNU package is a spellchecker (both standalone and a library);

LibreOffice is free software that utilizes the hunspell spell checking library, which currently has dictionaries in the following languages (the same dictionaries that aspell uses);
Afrikaans,Bulgarian,Catalan,Czech,Welsh,Danish,German,Modern,English,Esperanto,Spanish,Estonian,Faroese,French,Irish,Galician,Hebrew,Croatian,Hungarian,Interlingua,Indonesian,Icelandic,Italian,Kazakh,Central,Kurdish,Lithuanian,Latvian,Maori,Macedonian,Malay,Norwegian,Dutch,Norwegian,Polish,Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal),Romanian,Russian,Slovak,Slovenian,Albanian,Swedish,Swahili,Tswana,Ukrainian,Zulu
As it's free software and the format encoding is free, you're free to add more dictionaries in whatever languages you want.
