Resolution
Fixes were placed into GroupWise 2012 Sp1 to help improve the importing and conversion of the speller file.
Workaround:
It should be noted that the XX portion of the WT61XX.UWL, is the language version of the speller being used.

Workaround:
It should be noted that the XX portion of the WT61XX.UWL, is the language version of the speller being used.
To force a re-import:
- Close the client
- WT61XX.UWL Must be in:
- Windows7 - C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Novell\GroupWise
- WindowsXP - C:\Documents and Settings\YOURUSER\Local Settings\Application Data\Novell\GroupWise
- Delete the *.GQC and *.GWD from:
- Windows7 - C:\Documents and Settings\YOURUSER\Application Data\Novell\GroupWise
- WindowsXP - C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Novell\GroupWise
- If the WT61XX.UWL is named WT61XX.UWL-back, then rename it without the "-back".
- Restart GW and open the speller.
If WT61XX.UWL was renamed to WT61XX.UWL-back after restarting and opening the speller, that means that the import was completed.
Additional Information
When the speller is first initialized in GW2012 it will search for it's own
word list on C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Novell\GroupWise, there's two
files named: XX_YY.GWD and XX_YY.GQC. Where XX_YY is the speller language and dialect. GWD is the Word List and
GQC is the Quick Correct files. Both files are text files and you can open and
edit them with notepad. If those files are not present (that will be the case when you are running
GW2012 the first time), it'll try to look for the GW8 World List, that's in
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Novell\GroupWise, a file named: WT61XX.UWL
