Spellchecking on macOS

On macOS, Swordfish uses native spellchecker APIs.

About this task

By default, macOS detects the language the user is typing in and automatically adjusts its internal spellchecker. Use theses steps to select a specific language for spellchecking.

Procedure

  1. Open System Preferences application
  2. On the Search text box of the System Preferences main window, type "spelling"
  3. On the search results, select Spelling and prediction.
    The Spelling and Prediction dialog appears:
    Spelling and Prediction Dialog
  4. Check the list of installed languages and input sources. If your working target language is not included, add it.
  5. Configure the options for your target language and click the Done button to save your settings and close the dialog.

What to do next

You may need to restart Swordfish to activate the new settings.
