Is there a spellchecker in Anytwo?

I get a lot language errors in texts, although I switched everything off in windos settings and added English as second language.

(Screenshot extra, since I could not set up the post as Bug in firefox on desktop, I used Chrome on mobile for a first entry.)

Thanks for reporting this — spell-checking behavior can definitely be frustrating when it's not behaving the way you expect.

To help us track this down, could you give us a bit more detail?

  • When you say you're seeing language errors flagged in texts, do you mean red squiggly underlines as you type, or corrections being applied automatically?
  • What language is your app set to, and what's your operating system (Windows version)?
  • Can you walk us through the steps you took to turn off spell-checking in your system settings — just so we can make sure we're looking in the same place?

Once we have those details, we'll be able to figure out what's going on.

A: Here is a screenshot of my settings in windows:


And here the chosen languages:

I don't know your language, but, spell check is something that OS provides. And your language seem to be set to some language other than English (Probably Dutch) And that language is being used for checking the spelling. You also have english as second language (If I am seeing right).

These settings don't take effect immediately, probably need windows restart or app restart at the very least.
Try restarting your PC

Thank you for trying to help me out on this, restarting the PC didn't help.

Maybe this will help you. Don't forget to restart again (Locale settings doesn't apply completely without it).

The only thing that made a difference was to switch my first language in Windows to english. This is weird and should not be like this. In any case, even although I switched off the spellchecking it still checks the spelling.


(With having a lot of less errors with english than with german as the first language.)

In Anytype, it was (is) possible, to select multiple spell checkers.
I used German and English in parallel.
I've already requested that feature for AnyTwo, nine days ago.
It is already on the Todo list and it has already eight votes:
