I'm afraid this is a mixture of kword behaviour misleading, a bug, and the
behaviour you expected. I'll try to explain.
I think what you wanted to achieve was just changing the spelling checker
language. For that you should go to "Preferences->Configure kword->Spelling"
there you can choose the language you want for spell checking.
I guess the available options depends on what spell checking dictionaries
you have available, make sure you have the aspell-xx package, where xx is the
code of the language, e.g.: en, de, es.
Once you have done this, the spell checking dialog and the spell checking as
you write will use that language.
It is true that once you have change that option, this preference is not
stored on the document file. It was intended to, AFAIK but this is a bug.
What _is_ stored on the document is the "font style" which happen to include
language. Also the language setting is stored in the user local configuration
file: ~/.kde/share/config/kwordrc
If this bug is about the language option not stored in the document, well,
then you are right, and we could report that into KDE bugzilla, but to be
honest I don't think this will ever be solved in koffice upstream, since
there seem not to be a 1.6.4 release.
If the problem was that you were unable to find where the right setting was,
then I think if you are satisfied with the explanation you could close this
bug sending a blank e-mail to 404683-done@bugs.debian.org
In any case, I'd appreciate knowing your conclusions.
Best regards,
