I think Ubuntu users Aspell, the open source spell checker.

I'm certain your answer might be here ... http://aspell.net/man-html/index.html

Is anyone here familiar with Aspell and how to install additional
dictionary? I'm actually interested in this too as I want to add one
that does Romanji (aka the phonetic spelling of Japanese words in
Roman characters) if one exists.

In Evolution I can set the language in which to do the spell-checking in
the Edit menu (last entry)

Certainly. I speak and write German, but use an English system. I just
go to menu System -> Administration -> Language support and check all
languages I want. Then I choose English as the default language (but
other users can choose other languages at the login screen).

Some applications might need to be told which language to use. E.g., I
use Evolution for mail and there it is in menu Edit -> Preferences ->
Composer or something.
