So, I don't think this is a dup, because I don't see how #4719 helps going through all misspelled words. I.e. the root problem this ticket tries to solve is having a long tex file and a few misspelled words. If there are only highlights in the source, you're forced to tediously scroll through everything, likely to miss.
I'm promoting this to BUG + Hitlist, since if you just hit this, I bet a lot of people do regularly, and it makes cocalc "relatively unusable"....
I'm changing latex to use the frontend browser's spellcheck. The backend will no longer be used at all. A user can configure whatever language in their browser, it's faster, etc.... and it actually works.

More precisely, by default. This was turned off only because of a temporary codemirror bug. It will still be possible to enable backend spell check, though I can't imagine how anyone would be able to figure out how...
The spellchecker just highlights words, but doesn't guide you through all found issues, and there is no possibility to add words to a local dictionary for the non-browser spellchecker.
It would be nice to have a spellcheck frame, which highlights all wrong words, with some context (+/- 1 line) and shows options.
workaround
Run aspell in interactive mode in a terminal frame. Pick the correct mode, e.g. this one for latex.
