I use Texmaker as well. I sometimes tried the check spelling option. But for me it didn't work either. – Dave Mar 10 at 16:29

Depending on the Version of Texmaker you’re using (the current is 4.0), you might have to restart after switching the dictionary. If that doesn’t help, could you specify what the expected behavior is versus the behavior you’re getting? – doncherry Mar 10 at 18:47

/usr/share/hyphen are not the right directory for spelling dictionaries. The spelling dictionaries are in the /usr/share/myspell directory and spell dictionaries are in fact always composed of 2 files: the .dic (which must be selected) and the .aff file.
