Version: 0.10.0 (using KDE 4.2.4) OS: Linux Installed from: Fedora RPMs when entering a caption, the text is automatically spell checked. In my KDE settings (system settings -> Country/Region and Language) the default language for spell checking is German (Germany) but digkikam checks for the English language.
What is language of your interface (locale)?
the interface (Menus, Buttons, etc.) is English. But the setting in System Settings -> Country/Region & Language -> Locale -> Country or region is "Germany". The field "Languages:" is empty

Please, can you test with current code from svn trunk (1.0.0-beta3). Code is changed indeep everywhere here, and a lots of new features have been added, especially multiple language comments support. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3499/3724445487_ef34588e49_o.png With this feature, spellchecker is set accordingly with caption language.

The spellchecker has nothing to do at all with digiKam. If it is not working for you in digiKam, it shouldn't work in other applications either. I just tried it and it works fine here, with digiKam 0.10 and 1-0.0-SVN.
Oh my mistake :D I checked the versions that have either no multiple language support or where already fixed :) So like Gilles mentioned, try to use the latest SVN code.
(In reply to comment #4) > Please, can you test with current code from svn trunk (1.0.0-beta3). sorry, I tried to compile the current code form svn but there are too many missing dependencies. I can't get it to compile. I'll have to wait for a rpm from my distro.
Using todays SVN trunk: WORKSFORME.
Thanks Mik to test. closed Gilles Caulier
With next 8.0.0 release, we will use KF5::Sonnet SpellChecker to perform spell error detection and provide correction. It will be available everywhere in digiKam where users needs to enter a text (aka captions, titles, etc.) The language will be automatically detected by powerful algorithms by parsing words entered in text widgets. If a text widget as a specific language property as XMP alternative languages strings, the selected language by user will be used to check words. It's explained in the new setup/Miscs/SpellCheck config panel, as rhe spellchecking in digiKam and Showfoto will not depend of KDE/Plasma desktop (after all, we work under Windows, MacOS, and other Linux desktops...) https://i.imgur.com/HI6wZ86.png Gilles Caulier
Git commit fb9bc61ea2cc4d5045d7adde54d3b03bc59e888f by Gilles Caulier. Committed on 17/08/2022 at 02:59. Pushed by cgilles into branch 'master'. If user change a current language from an alternative language text edit widget, and if the language is not "x-default", force spell-checker to use this language as well. If user change a current language from an alternative language text edit widget to "x-default", turn on the auto-detection of language in spell-checker. Note: By default, an alternative language text edit widget always use the auto-detection of language in spell-checker.
