You don't make it clear eactly what sort of dictionary you require --
if it's a reference dictionary, your best bet is to find a suitable
web site (or a book shop).  On the other hand, if you want a localised
spell-check, then:

The ispell port (textproc/ispell) can be compiled with support for:

    Afrikaans
    British English (replaces default American English)
    Brazilian Portuguese
    Dutch
    Danish
    Finnish
    French
    German (old spelling)
    German (new spelling)
    Italian
    Polish
    Swedish
    Norwegian

There's also separate textproc/ua-ispell, hungarian/ispell and
russian/rus-ispell ports.

Then there's a similar program 'aspell' which supports even more
languages, including Greek, Romanian, Welsh, Faroese,
Esperanto... which is meant to supercede ispell but doesn't have
exactly the same functionality yet.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
