    If you can type Danish and Mandarin characters into other Windows
    applications, you should be able to type them into AbiWord. Let
    us know if you have trouble with entering the characters.

    You can download a Danish (da-DK) dictionary from
    http://www.abisource.com/download/abispell.phtml
    Extract the zip file into the dictionary directory, which is
    normally C:\Program Files\AbiSuite\dictionary

    Then in AbiWord, use Tools - Language to set the current language.
    When you have selected Danish, you will see da-DK in the status bar
    at the bottom of the AbiWord window. You can use this method to
    find the language-country code combination for other languages eg.
    en-AU for English (Australia).

    No Chinese (zh-) dictionary is available from the above page
    at present, but someone else may know where you can get one.
