Hi Panosso,

As far as I know OO uses myspell for dictionary use. Try the following terminal commands to install:

Portuguese European
sudo apt-get install myspell-pt-pt

Portuguese Brazilian:
sudo apt-get install myspell-pt-br

You'll probably need to restart OO and then select the dictionary you wish to use.

Hope this helps :-)
