Rainer,

I am not too sure what the ngerman dictionary is but maybe I can be of some 
help.

I am assuming that you are using ispell ?
If you have the ngerman dictionary installed you can get LyX (ispell) to use 
this to check the spelling by 

edit->preferences->Lang Opts->Spell checker

select use alternate language, and type in ngerman

(If you have the ngerman dictionary installed, you should have a ngerman.hash 
file, all of my dictionaries are in /usr/lib/ispell/)

I hope thats of some help

Also why do you want an english dictionary instead of a british one ?
Do you want american spelling ?

Nick
