I have read language ID from registry entry "Software\\Microsoft\\Shared
Tools\\Proofing Tools\\Grammar\\MSGrammar" But there are not all available
languages. Because in Word I can do spell check also in Polish language.

On websites which you gave are information about Office Proofing Tools.
Office Proofing Tools are separate product. When you installed for example
only Word you can make spell checking whitout Office Proofing Tools. It is
first thing. Next I want read language ID (I'm developer not end user), and I
want use spell check mechanism in my own application. Mayby it is worng
newsgroup.

Spell checking for Word does require proofing tools. The tools for various
languages are included with various language versions of Word/Office. For
example, the English version of Office includes proofing tools for English
(all versions), French, and Spanish. Obviously, your version includes
Polish, but you cannot assume that all users of your application will have
these tools installed (unless your application is limited to a Word version
specific to Polish users).

The language ID for Polish seems to be 1045 (if that's what you're looking
for). See, for example, "List of supported locale identifiers in Word 2000"
at
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=221435. But I don't guarantee that you
can use Word's proofing tools in your application. You probably should post
in a NG intended for developers rather than end users.
