Hi, how can i add german lang to spellchecker.
Thx Stefan
Hi Stefan Welcome to collabora online forum
The German dictionary is already included in the Android app (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland variants), so you don’t need to install anything separately.
Spell checking follows the language of the text, not the language of the app. So you need to tell the document that the text is German:
-
Open the document and tap the menu (hamburger icon).
-
Go to Tools and make sure Automatic Spell Checking is enabled.
-
Go to Tools > Language and select German (Germany). In Writer, you can apply this to the selection, the current paragraph, or all text.
The text will then be checked against the German dictionary. If you are using multiple languages in the same document, you can set the language separately for each paragraph or selection.
If your device language is German, new documents created in the app should already default to German. However, documents received from someone else keep the language information stored in the file, so you may need to change it manually.
Best,
Darshan
