Spellchecking

Get your spelling errors corrected!

• Under Linux you can install the Hunspell dictionaries for your language using your distro's pkg manager

  • If you need to add additional language files you can do so in ~/.local/share/hunspell or /usr/share/hunspell.
  • If you are using the Snap package of QOwnNotes you can also use ~/hunspell for language files, since the Snap can't access ~/.local

• Under Windows you need to copy Hunspell dictionaries for your language to a folder dicts in your QOwnNotes application folder or in C:\Users\[username]\dicts

  • You can download dictionaries from LibreOffice dictionaries
  • Under macOS you need to copy Hunspell dictionaries for your language to /Library/Spelling or ~/Library/Spelling. If the directory doesn't exist you need to create it.

Dictionaries can be downloaded from QOwnNotes dictionaries. Use the table at the end of this document to find your language and its respective language code.

If the dictionary for your language is not in the Dictionary Manager or in the above mentioned link, please look for it on the internet or create an issue. We'll be sure to include it in the next release of QOwnNotes if the dictionary is found.
