Ubuntu – Dutch dictionary in Evolution for Ubuntu

dictionaryevolutionplugins

I'd like to know how to install a Dutch dictionary in the mail program Evolution for Ubuntu.
In Preferences I can see which dictionaries (all English) are installed but not how to add another dictionary.

The package you are looking for is called aspell-nl.

To install from a command line, press Ctrl-Alt-t), and enter the command: 

sudo apt-get install aspell-nl

To install from Synaptic, follow these instructions (adapted from here):

  1. Open the Synaptic package manager and search for "aspell dutch". Check the box(Mark for installation) next to aspell-nl and click apply to install.
  2. Restart Evolution.

  3. Go to Edit -> Preferences -> Composer Preferences -> Spell Checking

    You should see the Dutch/Flemish language dictionary installed. Finally, open a new message and verify that the spell check works correctly.
