In order to install them manually, go here, download the archive, open a terminal within the resulting directory and run. In order to install aspell dictionaries they should be available in Synaptic or similar tools. I guess the 3.x program uses some dictionaries at system level, but I am not sure it's the aspell ones, because in Synaptic I only see aspell and aspell-en installed (While German and Italian spellcheck is working without having those language added to the system). There is /usr/share/abiword-3.0/ but without any dictionaries. There is no /usr/local/share/AbiSuite-2.0/dictionary/ in the 3.x version. And indeed, the instructions at the address linked in the question are partially outdated. Maybe the 18.04 comes with installed aspell dictionaries that were lacking in previous ubuntu-s. To see which corrector is selected for different parts of text, click text and look at right-bottom of the Abiword window. It seemed to me that the "Make default" option is not immediately followed, in which case I made sure that my text intended for correction was selected, and then right-clicked while it was selected, and then chose "Set language", with double-click on the language name. That may be true or may be an impression coming from the fact that the setting above is somewhat buggy and the selection is not followed as expected, or rather the selection is a bit difficult to make - I had to repeat a few times in order to get the correct selection. It seems the OP already did that but then the spelling didn't work. Without having German or Italian support installed on my system I was able to switch to German and Italian, select them from the "Set language" setting (right-click outside text within document or under "Tools") and use spelling successfully.
