Bug reports
1

Steps to reproduce

  1. Go to Options → Editor → Behavior → Spellcheck languages
  2. Look for German (Switzerland): Option is missing
  3. Close Obsidian
  4. Manually add “de-CH” to the list of dictionaries in %appdata%\obsidian\Preferences
  5. Open Obsidian
  6. Write “schliesslich” in a note.
  7. Verify that the spelling rules for German (Switzerland) are applied and the word isn’t underlined in red.

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]

Yes

Expected result

German (Switzerland) should be available through the GUI. It’s supported in Electron/Chrome and it looks like it’s also included in Obsidian.

Actual result

The language is missing from the options menu.

Additional information

French (Switzerland) is missing as well when compared to Chrome, but manually adding “fr-CH” to the Preferences file doesn’t work. So, the reason it isn’t available in Obsidian seems to be a different one.

Correction: French (Switzerland) can also be enabled by editing the Preferences file (“fr-CH”). So, there are at least two supported languages missing from the options menu:

  • German (Switzerland)
  • French (Switzerland)
