Support spell checking multiple languages in parallel

Open sebastian-de opened this issue 2 months ago • 2 comments

Thanks a lot for creating Katvan! Coming from Kile (for LaTeX) this is exactly what I'm looking for.

The only thing I have problems with is spell checking. I use English as my Interface language, but I often write texts in German.

  1. In the UI I'm only offered English as spell checking options, although a German hunspell dictionary is installed. I'm using the Flatpak, so this might actually be a Flatpak issue (I have set flatpak config --user languages --set "en;de").

  2. It would also be great to use multiple dictionaries in parallel like it's done in Kate for example:

Kate uses Sonnet instead of default Qt spell checking, I don't know if this would be an option for Katvan as well.

  • https://develop.kde.org/docs/features/spellchecking/

I don't know how well Sonnet supports bidirectional text, though.
