It takes a long time to get new language spellcheck added to Obsidian.
There are a number of topics listed at Spellcheck for Language X that would be unnecessary if we had such feature. Then, saving time for developers and everyone willing to use it.
It would be easier to support custom language spellchecks to be added by the users, as the modern browsers do.
I think there is no workaround.
A meta topic listing other similar requests:
This post is to consolidate all the various requests to add support for spellcheck in language other than English.
At the moment, we can’t leverage chrome/electron built-in spell check. @Licat made a pull request to electron to add support for interfacing the editor we use and the chrome’s spellchecker. When that goes through, we will have spellcheck in all languages.
That feature request is closed because we have since migrated to use electron’s built-in spell checker (that in turns uses chrome’s or macos’s).
If a language is missing, open a feature request to them.
Can this process be automated instead of opening a new topic?
For example, I’ve had opened the topic Spellcheck for Latin , but I’m sure not many people use Latin. In addition maybe the users have better custom dictionaries or custom languages they may prefer instead of the hard-coded ones.

we won’t add support for user custom dictionaries. Open a plugin idea for that.

Can this process be automated to list all languages available from Electron instead of having to open a feature request?

Can you share the reasons behind this decision?
All languages supported by electron should be already supported, automatically. If they aren’t open a Bug Report.
because we are going to stick with the engine that is built into electron as opposed to having to implement our own.
There is no spellcheck for Latin language, yet it is available for Chrome on Linux.
Add Latin as an option for the built-in spellcheck, or let users add their own language dictionaries.
None.

En, alius qui latine scribat! Salve!
I would use this too.

A better solution that would help everyone using any language:
Spellcheck for Language X that would be unnecessary if we had such feature. Then, saving time for developers and everyone willing to use it.
There is no latin dictionary on chrome/windows.
As it is possible to add Latin as preferred language to Chrome I thought it could use it as spell check. Maybe I’m mistaken.
