I believe [NSSpellChecker setLanguage:] takes its parameter as a "language ID designator" or "locale ID designator" or sometimes even a plain string eg, "English" (but "British English" doesn't fly). I see (on 10.4.x at least) it returning a "locale ID designator" when asked via "language:". So "locale ID designator" seems like the preferred format for setLanguage:'s parameter.

Can someone confirm?

I tried passing in @"zh-Hant" and "zh-TW", and setLanguage: returned NO, but I suspect that's because I don't have a dictionary for traditional Chinese. How can I find out what dictionaries ARE installed?

The argument is intended to be in the same format as CFBundle localizations, i.e. by preference forms like "en_US", "zh-Hans", or "zh_TW", but for compatibility language names such as "French" will be accepted. The list of installed spell checkers is not currently exposed, though presumably it would be possible to examine the info dictionaries of installed spell checker bundles.
