Why this is so complex, I don't know, but I did find some answers for
the English Canadian users...

Feisty does include the Canadian English dictionary files, however the
files are not referenced by the list of dictionaries and the dictionary
files themselves don't follow the same naming syntax as the others.
Here's what I did to get my English Canada dictionaries working:

Open a Terminal and type:

$ cd /usr/lib/openoffice/share/dict/ooo

$ sudo ln -s en-CA.dic en_CA.dic
$ sudo ln -s en-CA.aff en_CA.aff

$ kdesu kate dictionary.lst

Add these lines to the bottom of the text file and save:

DICT en CA en_CA
HYPH en CA hyph_en_CA
THES en CA th_en_US_v2

Now restart OpenOffice.org and set your preferred Language:

Tools -> Options -> Language Settings -> Writing Aids
