Use Notepad to open spell.ini (in %programfiles%/Windows
Live/Mail/Proof/prf0009/2)
and change lang=1033 to lang=2057.

From an earlier post:

Noel,
Many thanks for taking the time and trouble to explain this to me.
Your fix of changing the ini file does work and I must have had problems
with permissions as the first spell.ini file did not save correctly. I have
since renamed it and rewrote the spell ini in notepad this time and it
works ok.
Many thanks again for your trouble.
Dave
