Alexandre,

I just Googled for "InDesign dictionary" (without quotes) and came up with a
bunch of hits. What version of InDesign are you using? In CS2, apparently
you can't just add a language dictionary and expect it to work -- it
supports English, Romanian, Slovenian, Croatian, Estonian, Lithuanian,
Latvian, and Bulgarian. The dictionary update is no longer available
separately.

It looks like InDesign dictionary questions might be better handled by a
group of InD experts. You might look in the InDesign help forums at
Adobe.com.
