CT is not using system-wide language for spell check (English, United States) #2488

Closed firepainting closed 2 months ago

firepainting commented 2 months ago

Version, Operative system CherryTree 1.1.2 Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon

Describe the bug (Same as title)

Details

Linux Mint system: language

english_us

I just removed the rest of the installed languages, around 22 of them.

Just to be sure, Enchant 2.3.2 has been installed.

(2 screenshots below) synaptic synaptic_2

CherryTree's Language: System Default

system_default

To Reproduce

On CherryTree:

  1. Enable Spell Check (Shift+Alt+S)
  2. Type US and UK English words
  3. US English is marked while UK English is not--except for a few, surprisingly.

Structure below is: [US word] [UK word]

Many thanks!

The language to use in the spell check is selectable in the preferences dialog, tab rich text if I remember correctly, it's a different setting than the interface language. I will double check that the default for the spell check tries to match the interface language, that may indeed be missing

Well that was...absolutely embarrassing. How to read the manual 101 and spell check vs interface. Got it! 😂️

It's working as expected now. All UK words on the right side are marked.

preferences dialog, tab rich text if I remember correctly

Yeah that's it.

Many thanks man 😩️

@giuspen CherryTree flags hyphenated compound words. Is it possible to change or correct this? hyphen_CT

For comparison, LibreOffice Writer doesn't flag them unless of course they're misspelled. hyphen_LO
