Spell Check
-
This evening I downloaded Vivaldi, I can't find spell check, web info says I can get it from Chrome store for Vivaldi, but no luck figuring how to do that after an hour wasted trying! No icon for apps or add-ons! I'm dyslexic, so no spell check is a deal breaker!
-
@sandib Spell check is built in. I have it, and never had to install or activate it. What are you looking for?
-
@sandib Right-click in a text area such as this message reply box, to show the spell-check submenu.
Visit the Language Settings to add more dictionaries.
Expand the Languages drop list and click on Add Languages at the bottom, where you can choose any available Hunspell dictionary.

@ayespy Hi, I have just realised spell check is built in! Wonders never cease, I must have spelled everything correctly all evening lol. When I right click I did not get spellcheck options, I get the dialog box posted in the pic.

Then you did not right-click in an edit box, but on the page.
-
@sandib Yes. You have to click in a textbox you are typing in to get the spellcheck options - not a textbox posted by someone else.

Spell check doesn't work again.

EDIT: It seems that I shouldn't comment before I had my first coffee -.-' sry see the comment from @Pesala below
Spellcheck does work but the thing that does not work is the option settings as far as I can see it. Correcting options are presented in the up most part of the right click menu on a wrong word but I got no options to change the language for spell check.
tested with viv 1.16.1170.3 (32bit) win 7 (64bit) -

When reporting issues, please give your OS and Vivaldi version number. Also be more specific. What does not work?
Spell-check is working fine here in both Vivaldi 1.15 final (clean install) and my default Vivaldi 1.15 Snapshot.
Specs: AMD A10-6800K, 8 Gb on Win 10 64-bit •Snapshot 1.16.1170.3 (64-bit)

That's because you have an incorrectly spelled word selected. After changing the language, the word might be correct, so you should change the language, then make corrections.

@9000 Please read the thread. All the answers that you need are given above.

here you have a direct link to the native settings
Right click menu is missing "Spellcheck" for me. There is "Language settings" which takes me to vivaldi://settings/languages and I have all the languages I'm using there. However I'm not getting spelling errors for non-English languages.
Any suggestions?
-
Just an FYI I've never seen spell check work for me either.
When trying just now it seems the corporate firewall is blocking the download of dictionaries. I had (at some point) specified English (not US) as a language so I selected that as the default language and all my Vivaldi user settings were reset - scary! Luckily, closing and re-opening brought things back to normal but now I still can't select "English" (greyed out switch) or "English (United States)" (download failed).
But I don't think it's only the firewall... It's never worked for me at home either. I will try to remember to look at it there again soon
-
So now I'm using the home laptop and the spell checker seems to be working after all.
So either I was mistaken or it doesn't / didn't work on one of my other PCs. Never mind...

@tbgbe Oops. I read your reply only.....
-
It happens in some OS
vivaldi://settings/languages
replace for
chrome://settings/languages
And you will solve the issue

He needs to add German language, then go to spell checker and activate the new language
