installing additional spellers besides english

The standard option of installing it through the File - Wizards - Install New Dictionaries may or may not work... I can't try at the moment. But if it does, great. If not, grab a dictionary here:
http://lingucomponent.openoffice.org/spell_dic.html

And hack it into your dictionary.lst file by following along here:

Please drop a note back with what worked for ya.

Would you be able to advise me on how I can do a full rebuild of the application?
If so could you elaborate on the development environment used?
I would like to work on this opensource project. Would you allow me to contribute?

Warmest Regards,
raja
