Multi-language spell check needed
-
modedit Moved as this Feature is ready existing
Righ now, vivalid offers spell check only in the primary language of the browser, but many write in more than one language. Other browsers, like firefox, let you right click on a text box and select the language for spell check from a list of installed dictionaries. As far as I can tell, vivaldi only does spell check in the browser's primary language, and one needs to re-start the browser to change it. This basically negates all of the other advantages of vivaldi for people that have to write in more than one language. I rememeber that chrome also allows you to change the spell check language quite easily, so it should be possible in vivaldi.

Do you mean
chrome://settings/languages
? (yes, it works in Vivaldi. If you need chrome settings page, not the Vivaldi one, just typechrome://settings
in the address bar, but the settings pages have different contents and not all (e. g. Show Home button) work) -
@flyingdutchman Hmm, it looks like now you cannot change the settings

I use both Portuguese and English on a regular basis. And I have the option to spell check in both:
On the spell checking context menu there's an option to go to Language settings (sorry the screen shots are all in Portuguese but you'll get the idea, I hope):
The top section has two options: languages and spell check. On the first one you can add all the languages you want to use. On the second one you can enable spell checking for any of the languages selected in the first one. For instance, I just added French as a language, enabled it as a spell checking option, and a new option has appeared to me:

@pauloaguia Hmm, strange, why do I see this?
Edit: removed image (no more needed)

@potmeklecbohdan I don't know... but have you tried clicking on "Add languages"?

@pauloaguia It does nothing…

Actually, I think I remember reading somewhere that there is a bug with Languages in the new snapshots...
I just looked and I'm still using 1462.4 -
