I wrote instructions for Russian-speaking users, sorry if the translation is bad.

Golded shouldn't be too old. For example, in the 2007 versions, the check
spelling doesn't work yet. I also didn't check GoldEd-NSF, so I recommend
updating it and replacing it with the normal GoldEd+ from the main branch:
https://github.com/golded-plus
As a bonus, you will get the fact that many hotkeys for Linux/mac are fixed there.

Next, you need the MySpell dictionaries. Semyon Panevin has a lot of them:
http://ftp.velo36.ru/pub/freq/myspell.tgz

Unpack them and put them, for example, in the DICT folder in the golded directory. The rest
depends on which of the dictionaries you need (you can connect several).
dictionaries at the same time). I have connected a Russian dictionary with an "e" and American
English. To do this, I wrote in the config:
SCheckerEnabled Auto
SCheckerDefLang ru_RU_yo en_US
SCheckerDicPath \fido\golded\dict\

Replace the path in the last directive with your own.

For languages other than English, you need to connect the corresponding
transcoding tables. For Russian, you need two files:
866_koi.chs
koi_866.chs
You can download it from me: https://yadi.sk/d/yXG6_bvkHQTxz
Put them, for example, in the XLAT folder in the golded directory and write them in the config:

XLATPATH \fido\GOLDED\XLAT\ ; fix it on your way
XLATCHARSET KOI8-R CP866 koi_866.chs
XLATCHARSET CP866 KOI8-R 866_koi.chs

It remains to determine the color that will highlight the errors. I have it spelled
out in gedcolor. cfg:
COLOR SCHECKER Error LRed on Black ;the color of the selection of the wrong word

If you don't have a separate gedcolor.cfg file, then you can add this directive
to the main or any other connected golded config.

The main drawback is that all words with a hyphen are considered incorrect. Second - there is no
way to work with a custom dictionary (although you can manually edit
dictionaries).
