Setting default spellcheck language

I'm using the latest version 3.3 and cannot get the spellcheck options to default to anything other than US English. (Very annoying)

I've tried various options to either get British English or Candian (Preferrably Australian - but there doesn't seem to be an option) - including:


config.scayt_defLan = 'en_GB';
config.scayt_sLang = 'en_GB';
config.scayt_defLan = 'en_CA';
config.scayt_sLang = 'en_CA';
config.scayt_defLan = 'en_AU';
config.scayt_sLang = 'en_AU';

The only thing that seems to work is to set it manually in the preferences (Which are also extremely slow to load from spellchecker.net)
