Not using correct spelling on MacOS for Australian english

[pauleaster]

Using MacOS 10.15.7, Spell Right 3.0.60, VS Code 1.62.3 (Universal).

Steps to reproduce: Create new directory spell_right, use VS code to open the dir with code spell_right.
File new, save as spell_check.md in current dir, paste in the following text: I analysed the correct spelling for analyzed and found that the Australian version is analysed. Should colour be color or colour? Australian spelling is colour.

MacOS language setup is shown here as well.

MacOS's TextEdit correctly highlighted analyzed and color, whereas Spellright incorrectly highlighted analysed and colour .

Seems to be more than just the general words that contain the "-our" or "-or". I'm still getting messages for words ending in "-ise" to be changed to "-ize". Even if you force add the "spellright.language": [ "en-AU", "en-GB" ] the spell checker marks those words incorrectly.

Since we adopt both en-US and en-GB words like "programme" should be acceptable as well as "program". In the end you pick a language lane and stick to it, but if you happen to choose the GB spelling it frustrating to have spelling errors for words that aren't incorrect:

@pauleaster not sure if you're still pending a solution or not but I happened to stumble across one for some of the en- languages.

1. Go to the extensions settings
2. Uncheck the "Group Dictionaries" setting
3. Open a markdown file, and select the language from the bottom right of VSCode
4. Select your language

I hope this helps you and others who have different language settings!

Cool, thanks I will check this out.

Unfortunately doesn't work for me. British 'color' is still highlighted as an error. My settings:

  "cSpell.language": "en-GB",
  "spellright.language": ["en-GB"],
  "spellright.languageContext": {
    "strings": ["en-GB"],
    "comments": ["en-GB"]
  }
