Expected behavior A clear and concise description of what I expected to happen is that Language names are not shown as spelling mistakes.

Additional context/information

I think that legitimate language names should not be shown as possible spelling mistake.

I get seven diagnostics for your document, for Igbo, Kyrgyz, Luxembourgish, Odia, Shona, Sinhala, and Tajik. There are no diagnostics for the 98 other items.

I'm not sure what the expected behavior is.

• Do you want no diagnostics at all for any of those items? Then add them to the dictionary by using Add '...' to the dictionary.
• Do you expect to have no diagnostics by default (i.e., without having the user add the unknown words to the dictionary)? Then open an issue over at LanguageTool, which is LT_EX's backend for checking. But in every spell-checking software, there will always be obscure words that it won't know, so I wouldn't expect to have zero diagnostics. That's why most spell-checkers have user dictionaries.

Either way, it's not an LT_EX issue.

[chirag127]

Well In my opinion, the names of Languages should be in dictionary by default.

I was confused if I should write the issue in bug or feature requests.

[valentjn]

If you want to add words to the default dictionary, you need to head over to LanguageTool. LT_EX is only the frontend and does not have/manage any default dictionaries.

However, as I wrote, there's always going to be words (whether the name of a language or not) that are not covered by built-in dictionaries. It's easier to just add them to your user dictionary.
