attribute values.
By default, the spelling checker uses the U.S. English spelling dictionary. To
change the dictionary, choose Edit > Preferences > General and select a different
dictionary from the pop-up menu. Dictionaries for additional languages are
available for downloading from the Dreamweaver Support Center.

Dictionaries.
