Description Running latest mageia 9 - installed flatpak version - have also hunspell installed:

lib64hunspell1.7_0-1.7.2-2.mga9 hunspell-en-0.20180416.1-4.mga9 hunspell-de-0.20161207.1-4.mga9 hunspell-1.7.2-2.mga9

It recognizes English (at least with red underscore when wrong spelling) but no correction suggestions German is not recognized at all ?!?

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Install from Flatpak
  2. Open client and send a chat message
  3. during typing, english spelling is recognized but no suggestions for correction
  4. German words are underscored in red and not recognized at all . . .

Expected behavior Like WhatsApp web client - spellchecking works in both German and English with suggestive corrections

Hi @emsofo, it's only supposed to work with the system language which is English in your case. However, we can provide an option to let the user select multiple languages together in the Preferences dialog.

I have multiple language spellcheck in Firefox (German & English) - so I thought this was based off the web-client version - when using WhatsApp web on Firefox I get this functionality - Thx
