I am using MacWrite II 1.1 (US version) with the following spelling checkers:
US English
British
Francais
Deutsch
There is a menu "Spelling" with "Install dictionaries" and "User Dict.", etc.
Extremely useful, and the dictionary use is recorded into the saved file so
that the next time the file is opened, the correct dictionary is installed.
The dictionaries are common for Mac Write II, MacDraw II (maybe even FileMaker
but I am not sure).
I do not have German thesaurus and I've never seen one.
