Email is primarily a text-based communication tool, so clarity and accuracy in writing are essential. Security means little if the message itself is poorly communicated.

Yes please! My system is set to English but most of my mails I type in my native language and everything has an annoying red underline.

That’s a great suggestion — having configurable spellchecker language in the Proton desktop app would make it much more user-friendly for multilingual users. Small usability improvements like this really enhance the overall experience. For me, I also rely on https://arena4viewer.site/
for a smooth and accessible streaming experience, and the same principle applies: flexibility matters.

I use at two languages on a daily base (German and English). A more flexible spell checker as very high on my list :-)

My proton-mail is my private mail-account. I am danish so all my mail from my proton-account goes to Danes. But I get red lines under all my text in my mails very very annoying and completely useless. Spell-checking locale languages and the ability to change language has been basic feature in even strange text editors for programmers for the last 25 years.

More than a year ago you got a link from another user on Redit to the turtorial on Electron showing how to add the feature. It doesn't look like rocket science to me.

Reposting the link for you convience

Please add it soon

Thank you

Being able to spellcheck in multiple languages is very important. I regularly communicate with clients and friends in languages other than English. I have the keyboards set on my computer and can spellcheck in all of them in Word and other apps but Protonmail seems to ignore the language I have set for my keyboard. I've been having to copy and paste the message into a Word document to spellcheck and then paste it back into Protonmail before I send if I want to spellcheck it.

Please add this function, for broader adoption in all non-US countries

upvote: Spell checking is important for me as my native language is Danish but I also write in other languages.

upvote - basic functionally that Tuta supports since long time

That's great https://mmjnewsnetwork.com/

Until this is fixed, you can disable the spell checking with this hack: https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonMail/comments/1bhm2am/comment/mcp2m5e/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

It goes a little deeper than that. I speak, and write emails, in several languages - not just in the language of the interface. Aside from that - regardless of the interface language I chose for the app, the spell-checker only works for English.

It's a very interesting feature; not everyone writes English in the world. Just like this website https://themagistv.co

I am going to find a mail client that doesn't put a red line under everything I write in Icelandic. It's very annoying.

I can only agree. It is a pain in the... that everything I write in German is marked as spelling mistakes by the proton mail desktop app, since my proton account is set to English.

I'd love this feature to be included soon!

I write in English, French, German and sometimes Italian.

With the web app, it's possible to switch languages once configured in the browser.

With the desktop app, I first have to write my text in LibreOffice, copy/paste in a text editor to erase the formatting and then copy/paste in the desktop app.

Yes, it would take a lot of pain away having a decent spell check consistently working in the clients.

This is a very important feature, the world is not always writing in English and a Swiss-based company should know it very well...

I would love to see this feature added to the desktop app.
When I compose an email in a different language, almost every word has a red line underneath.

I will not use the desktop app until this is fixed.
back to the web interface, sorry
