I'm using Ubuntu 17.04. I'm trying to change the spelling check from English to Spanish. Apparently the dictionary that Texmaker is currently using is stored in
/usr/share/myspell/dicts/en_GB.dic
but myspell is no where to be found. How can I change the dictionary?

my friend, before anything else I warn you that I am new to all this, so I do not understand everything ... but I had exactly the same problem as you and I was able to solve it!
What I did was use Synaptic, and download the myspell-es package. After that the myspell-es package appears as installed (in green) in Synaptic. Then I right click on the package, and opened properties, there several tabs and I went to the tab "installed files", Here are the directories where the files were installed, for example: "/usr/share/hunspell/es_AR.dic" (Which was the one I used for texmaker and it worked!)
I hope to have been understandable, lucky!
