Spell checking: make it configurable and/or allow multiple languages

54 votes

Spell checking should be independent from OS settings. It should be set to the language set in GitKraken, e.g. Windows 10 in German, GitKraken in English --> spell checking in English.
Or better make it configurable, because sometimes you need another language.
Or enable multiple languages for spell checking like many other apps do, e.g Goggle Chrome, Firefox, Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio, and many many more... ;-)

Spell checking using UK dictionary is really annoying for folks using American spelling.

We also often mix in Danish, so multi-language support would be really nice.

Same issue here with Ubuntu.

Very annoying because almost every word is underlined.

Or at least let's turn off the spell checker - if you can't fix the problem...

Even when changing my OS *user profile* language to English by moving English to the top of the Applications list effectively changing all other applications like browser OS-UI to English.

Gitkraken still only spell checks with the native non-English system language and underlines everything :(
