I didn't follow this thread from the beginning, so I may be 
misunderstanding something. So, let's see if I'm understanding 
correctly.
You installed Balsa and the spellchecking tool was set to pt_BR, 
although the English language was available in that tool. If so, it's 
probably because you have a pt_BR language package installed. But, 
when I compiled balsa, I noticed the presence of pt_BR, although I 
didn't, if I recall it correcly, had installed all the packages 
needed.
If it's the second "option", I'm glad it was not a paranoia of mine. 
Unfortunately, I won't be much helpfull in that, due to my inability 
to code (only know hello worlds, and not that good).
