However, it's sad we have to download and install it manually. Apple should have included it with OS X, because Polish is one of the officially supported languages in the system. Mac OS X 10.5 is localized in Polish, yet Apple did not supply *any* Polish spelling component with the system.
Unfortunately, it is unclear from the website if CheckSpell supports other OpenOffice.org dictionaries such as Indonesian, Latvian, etc (anyone understand Polish?). It would also be interesting to know if CheckSpell avoids having to restart the specific app when changing dictionary language, which plagues cocoAspell.

And no, ChcecSpell does not require to restart application to change the dictionary.
