English Dictionary on German platform

There is some info about the issue on THIS THREAD But the important bit is the following.

Mirius:

It doesn’t matter what language you are typing in, the problem occurs on install because of the auto language selection in the install program. If you have a non English OS then Scrivener will not install a dictionary and without a dictionary there is no spell checking regardless of what you might type.

As I’ve stated before everything about my laptop is English except the very base levels of the OS. I even have a QWERTY keyboard and everything from a user point of view is in English. A very few programs will detect however that the base OS is Flemish, Scrivener being one of them.

On loading the first project on 1.4 I got the error message again about not loading a dictionary. I don’t know which dictionary it tried to load as the text doesn’t wrap so I can read the end of the error message.
