Looks like if Aspell and the dictionary or dictionaries are installed it will pick them up automagically

On Windows, Linux, and UNIX, Opera supports GNU Aspell. To spell-check with Opera, you need to install both GNU Aspell and at least one Aspell dictionary.
On Mac OS X, Opera uses the system spell checker. There is no need to install additional software.
This tutorial was last updated for Opera version 9.10.
Get GNU Aspell and one or more Aspell dictionaries

Go to GNU Aspell (http://aspell.sourceforge.net/) or GNU Aspell for Windows (http://aspell.net/win32/) to download the latest version of the software. Aspell dictionaries can be found in the same location.
Step by step



Install GNU Aspell.
Install one or more Aspell dictionaries.
Restart Opera.

On startup, Opera should automatically recognize when GNU Aspell and one or more dictionaries are installed on your computer, but without a dictionary, GNU Aspell will not function as a spell checker.
Using the spell checker

With a spell checker installed, the "Check spelling" option will appear in the context menu of all edit fields. When composing e-mail messages, the "Check spelling" button will be visible on the toolbar. To check the spelling of a single word or a portion of your text exclusively, select the text before checking.

I have read all that. There is no dictionaries installed. The Aspell website simply says install it. It does not tell me how in any sort of language I understand. I was rather hoping someone could post an idiots guide. Reading through all the readme info that comes with the program there is a link to click if you want help installing a dictionary. Unfortunately that just links to the page you have copy and pasted the info.
