Hi, my Windows 10’s language is Finnish. AFAIK, Obsidian does not have a dictionary for Finnish. At least Finnish does not appear in the list of available spell check languages (the one that opens when clicking the +
dropdown list). However, Obsidian sets a default spell check language, determined from the operating system’s language, so it becomes Finnish even when it’s not supported.
Steps to reproduce
- Have an operating system with language other than the ones supported by the spellchecker.
- Go to Editor settings and look at Spellcheck languages. The system language is selected by default, if you haven’t changed it.
Expected result
If the system language is not available in spellcheck, use English instead as a default language.
Actual result
The actual result can be seen in the screenshot above. This is not a big problem for me as I know Finnish is not supported. However, for some users it might be confusing to see their language selected by default, it might give a false impression that their language would be supported by the spellchecker.
