There isn't much going wrong here. I think nobody ever got around to implement 
auto-detection of the available dictionaries, so the GSspell service assumes 
only the AmericanEnglish dictionary is present by default. The client side on 
the other hand (Ink in your example) tries to connect to the spell service 
using your current default language and GSspell then responds that this 
language is not available. If you have other language dictionaries besides 
American English installed on your system, you can manually update the 
supported languages by updating the NSLanguages property in the 
Info-gnustep.plist file of GSspell.service (and eventually restarting the spell 
service if it is currently running.
