Spellcheck in non-English language

Hello:

I have AbiWord installed on a BeaFanatIX linux setup. I want to spell
check in a non-English langauge (Bulgarian).

I went to the Internationalization FAQ:
http://www.abisource.com/twiki/bin/view/Abiword/IntlFaqSpellChecking

What I found there was totally confusing:

(i) first it says: 'See IntlFaqChangingLanguage to set the default
document language'. There is mention of Windows and Unix (where it says
'use something like' - not exactly computing speak if you ask me) but not
Linux.

(ii) further down it says: 'There is a large number of abispell packages
provided for various language. You can download the package for your
language from http://sourceforge.net/projects/abiword'. But this link
simply goes to sourceforge where you can download the whole of abiword. No
individual options are given.

(iii) Finally, we have 'Note: Debian uses aspell dictionaries, dont forget
to install them'. OK, so I think this is for me as BeaFanatIX is a branch
of Ubuntu is a branch of Debian. But this is hardly a full instruction of
what I should be doing ...

If anyone does know how I can spellcheck in a language other than English
and what I should do I would be very grateful if they could tell me.

It would also be helpful then to change the FAQ so others know what to do
in future.

Thanks,

Mihail
