We put the contents of the archive in / opt / kingsoft / wps-office / office6 / dicts... In Writer, go to the tab Review, Spell Check -> Set Language... Choose the one you want:

To disable annoying templates, you either need to open the blank document template once, which is located here: /home/%username%/.kingsoft/office6/templates/wps, or change the settings in the file /home/%username%/.config/Kingsoft/Office.conf:
Common \ wpshomeoptions \ StartWithHome = 0 common \ wpshomeoptions \ StartWithBlank = 1
