No option for UK English #494

Open nathanielvirgo opened 2 years ago

nathanielvirgo commented 2 years ago

I am using OS X. Most applications allow me to set the language to "British English", so clearly it exists as a system dictionary. However, in vscode-spellright it does not appear. If I try to select the language by clicking on "English" in the status bar, I get a list of languages that begins

If I search this list for "English", the only one that comes up is "English" - there seems to be no UK version available.

In contrast, if I use the system "spelling and grammar" dialogue (for example, in Pages), the list begins

So it seems like spellright is collapsing all the variations of English into just "English", which frustratingly selects only the U.S. variant.

Is there a way that I can fix this issue? The spell checking is useful, but it's very annoying to have words underlined that are spelt correctly according to British conventions.

Have a look at https://github.com/bartosz-antosik/vscode-spellright#settings. I think the spellright.groupDictionaries option will help you.

True, disabling the Group dictionaries option allows for the selection of British English.

@nathanielvirgo Open to closing this issue with this solution?
