I need a french dictionary. At least, it would be nice to have any information on the location where kile stores its spell-checking dictionaries.

AFAIK Kile uses an external spell checker (ispell or aspell I think). You need to install the language support for this spell checker first. Which Linux are you using? Are you using Kile under KDE as normal or in another way (e.g. using Gnome)? – Martin Scharrer Aug 25 '11 at 18:03

For Debian-based Linux systems (including Ubuntu & Co) this should work:

  1. sudo apt-get install kcontrol
  2. sudo apt-get install french
  3. kcontrol

After doing this, you have to activate the language and restart kile and the language should then be changed.

I've got Fedora. Will this work if I find kcontrol rpm? – sandman Aug 25 '11 at 19:17
Sorry for my late response, but I do not know if this work with fedora. Maybe you can find better help on superuser.com – Mac-Cherony Aug 29 '11 at 17:58
