Actually I was wrong. I just had a look at the GSspell server code and it looks 
like I got around to implementing the language detection code. To support 
languages besides the default (American English) the server maintains a little 
bundle in the $GNUSTEP_USER_DOMAIN/Library/Services directory that declares all 
languages supported by the spell server. Each time the spell server is started 
it will update the list of languages in this bundle, so you should see the list 
of available languages on your system after you have connected to the spell 
server at least once. If that doesn't work, there is some other problem with 
your installation. Has aspell been properly detected during the configuration 
of gnustep-gui? If the aspell headers were not found during configuration only 
a dummy spell checker is built, which understands only American English.
