The latest version posted in pa of libreoffice portable can't use any dictionary, upon press f7 to check the spelling only show [none} lang available.
In the extension the dics are enabled or can't enabled if are not already enabled, show an errorrelated to mingw x64 version.
Installed any dictionary the same happen.
Using the winpeck version, the dictionary work, but is 34.2.0 version.
Can be all dictionaries uninstalledin the PA version to check if related to the builtin dictionaries included?
The dictionary included can't be enabled or reinstalled, using a version without dictionary can be used to check if oneof the dictionaries included is messing with libreoffice portable, the installer version work fine but i need the portable libreoffice.

You need to state at least the following:
(1) Precisely what version of LibreOffice (portable) are you using?
(2) The language of the dictionary you are attempting to use?
You should also be aware that when you install dictionaries to LibreOffice Portable, when asked, you must install the dictionaries (or any other extension) as "Only for me". If you do not do this then you break the portability of you installed LibreOffice Portable. For more detail on this read this webpage: https://portableapps.com/support/libreoffice_portable
All above said this doesn't sound like a problem with LibreOffice Portable. — I just downloaded and tested the latest Fresh version 24.2.3.2 myself and out of the box it works fine for spellchecking 'English UK'. From that I concluded that the problem you are facing in specific to your own installation and not a directly a problem with LibreOffice Portable (Fresh).
You could try forcing a reset of your User Profile. To to that do the following:
(1) Shutdown/Exit LibreOffice Portable.
(2) In Windows Explorer drill to the following folder location [Path to your LibreOffice installation]:\LibreOfficePortable\Data\settings
(3) Inside that folder you will find a folder titled user. Rename that folder to user OLD. Doing this will force LibreOffice Portable to create a new default profile when I next launches.
(4) Launch LibreOffice Portable to see if the problem has been solved.
(5) If the spellcheck problem is solved then all is well — though you will have to step through all the LibreOffice settings to get them as you want them.
(6) If the problem is not solved then I would advise posting into this forum and ask for help there. https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/ (note: despite the URL address that forum also deals with LibreOffice so no problem). If you do post into that forum be certain to state the version of LibreOffice you are using, state that it is Portable, and state the spellchecking language you want to use.
P.S. If the profile reset didn't work then you can shutdown LibreOffice again, delete the newly created 'user' folder, and rename the folder 'user OLD' back to just 'user' — doing this will save you from stepping through all the settings again.

I tried again the new version 24.8.2? the latest, the problem remain in my case.
I check the settings and all are correct, mathching lang of the dictionary selected and the lang of the document
Any the latest portable version(i check from 24.2 to newer) i get an error of dictionary; no spellcheck for the current document:
I tried to install another lang dic but i got a mingw error upon installing.
Is possible to errase all dictionaries installed by default to test the spanish dic included but downloading instead?.
No problem in the current LO installed version, i used to replace the LOP directory in the winpeck version(24.2.0) after started the WP version one time and select the dics need it.
Aparently the dics are installed in the profile directory as doing the same in LOP of portable apps doent work, but in the winpeck version work.
As is suggested in aother forum as a profile related error, detethe the ntire profile and start again but the problem remains.
I installed a fresh copy of LibreOffice Portable 24.8.2 Standard. I didn't select to remove unused languages. After starting, I set it to Portuguese Brazil in all 3 locations and then restarted. Spell check is working as expected.
How exactly did you install it? What language are you using? Did you select it in all 3 locations?
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
What is the language that you want for the spell check?
Does this issue occur with only one document or all documents?
Look at the Status Bar at the bottom of the LibreOffice window. What language does it say the document is using there? If it says [None] that is indicative of where your problem lies for whatever document you are working on.
If the paragraph above does show [None] then in the 'Paragraph Styles' Deck right-click on 'Default Paragraph Style' then click on the 'Font' tab and check the language that is set there. If it isn't set to the language you want then make the adjustment there.

As already commented in the installed version of LibreOffice the spellcheck is working fine, the problem is in the portable version from portableapps.com.
I test all portable apps from 24.2 up to the latest, in all of them the problem happen., i test maing a full uninstall from pa, deleting the profile and start again.
The verion of Winpeck install the dictionaries upon start the first time, i used this version to direct copy a LO install directory of libreofice into the wp directory and then with this i get a working portable of lo.
I can't check installing any dictionary as i get a error installing related to mingw.
In LO portable by default in all the lang installed only are available the lighproff grammar checker, hungspell thesaurus and hypen are empty.
I wish to use english and spanish, in the extesion panel allways are reported as installed(and uninstallable)
