<p>I have encountered Spell Checking plugin awkward setup behaviour.  It comes down to proper config however - so It is <strong>solved</strong> but it is problematic because there is ambiguous information on how to setup it.</p>
<p>1st<br>
as explained in here:  <a href="https://plugins.geany.org/spellcheck.html" rel="nofollow">https://plugins.geany.org/spellcheck.html</a></p>
<blockquote>
<p>Note: if you are using Enchant 2.0 or later (the library used by the SpellCheck plugin), you need to move the dictionaries into a subfolder called "hunspell" in the directory you created above. To check which Enchant version you are using, check "Help->Debug Messages" in Geany and find the appropriate log message telling about the Enchant version.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Files need to be in the <em>hunspell</em> directory</p>
<p>2nd<br>
I've downloaded .dic and .afc  but I had to substitute dash for underscore in their filenames</p>
<p>ex:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>en-GB.aff -> en_GB.aff<br>
en-GB.dic -> en_GB.dic</p>
</blockquote>
<p>after that I've put both of these in</p>
<blockquote>
<p>C:\Programs\Geany\dict\hunspell</p>
</blockquote>
<p><em>dict</em> -is a newly created folder, for my own convenience</p>
<p>3rd<br>
In geany spell checker plugin preferences however I had to point to</p>
<blockquote>
<p>C:\Programs\Geany\dict</p>
</blockquote>
<p>and NOT to</p>
<blockquote>
<p>C:\Programs\Geany\dict\hunspell</p>
</blockquote>
<p>in order to spell checker to detect <strong>en_GB</strong></p>
