Whenever I try to spell-check a document in Russian, I get an error message:

        Error: Spellchecker error
        ----------------------------------------
        The spellchecker could not be started
        No word lists can be found for the language "ru_RU".
        Dialog "spellchecker" failed to translate the data string passed to 
show()

I have aspell installed -- along with the Russian dictionary. I suspect, 
language should be "ru", rather than "ru_RU" -- the files, which get added by 
the Russian dictionary for aspell are:

        /opt/lib/aspell-0.60/ru.dat
        /opt/lib/aspell-0.60/ru_affix.dat
        /opt/share/aspell/ru-ye.multi
        /opt/share/aspell/ru-ye.rws
        /opt/share/aspell/ru-yeyo.multi
        /opt/share/aspell/ru-yo.multi
        /opt/share/aspell/ru-yo.rws
        /opt/share/aspell/ru.multi

Quite possibly, using "ru" instead of "ru_RU" would also fix an error message, 
that always greets me, when I start lyx:

        Locale ru_RU could not be set

Thanks!
