Can't get it to work for German language

[cbirkenbeul]

Hi, I guess I have some issues in my .spellcheck.yml file, because it's not really checking German language. Otherwise it would have way too many false positives. Would this be a proper part of the config file?

matrix:
- name: Markdown
  expect_match: false
  apsell:
    mode: de_DE
  dictionary:
    wordlists:
    - .wordlist.txt
    output: wordlist.dic
    encoding: utf-8
  pipeline:
  - pyspelling.filters.markdown:
      markdown_extensions:
      - markdown.extensions.extra:
  - pyspelling.filters.html:
      comments: false
      attributes:
      - alt
      ignores:
      - ':matches(code, pre)'
      - 'code'
      - 'pre'
      - 'blockquote'
  sources:
  - '*.md'
  - 'content/posts/**/*.md'

Or should it be different? Maybe you could have an example config for a foreign language in your example folder for other people. :) Thanks.

Hi @cbirkenbeul

Is this lifted from your actual configuration? I can see that you have a spelling error. ‘apsell‘ should read: ‘aspell‘.

If your repository is public please provide a link, then I will have a look.

Thanks for your fast help. Yes that is my actual config and my repo for that is not public, its on a self hosted git server.

I've fixed the typo. Thanks for that. Unfortunately its still not working, but now with a different error message:

Using pyspelling on configuration outlined in >.spellcheck.yml<
Checking files matching specified outlined in >.spellcheck.yml<

I change my config to this one:

matrix:
- name: Markdown
  expect_match: false
  aspell:
    mode: de
  dictionary:
    wordlists:
    - .wordlist.txt
    output: wordlist.dic

      comments: false
      attributes:
      - alt
      ignores:
      - ':matches(code, pre)'
      - 'code'
      - 'pre'
      - 'blockquote'
  sources:
  - '*.md'
  - 'content/posts/**/*.md'

Just in case, thats my build pipeline

Hi @cbirkenbeul

Ok, one more correction to your configuration file.

aspell takes a lang parameter not: mode

Please see: https://github.com/rojopolis/spellcheck-github-actions?tab=readme-ov-file#specifying-language

Does any of the examples in the documentation or else in the repository use mode, because then I need to correct that error.

Hi @cbirkenbeul

Did you get this to work?

Else I will dig more into your configuration file.

[cbirkenbeul]

Hi. Yes its working now. Thanks for your help.

Its just quite annoying that all english words now marked as false. I have to figure out if its possible to use multiple languages in a single check. If you like, we can close this issue.

Thanks @cbirkenbeul

I am not sure how to mix two languages/dictionaries. I will do some research.
