Default system dictionary not honored under debian. about spell-check

[benplumley]

Confirming on Windows 8.1, system language is UK English but the package uses American English.

Confirming on Debian Unstable. System language is german, but atom uses the preinstalled american english language files. Please add a possibility to switch the language inside atom or make atom honor the system settings, as this is a show-stopper to write huge documents (e.g. a thesis in latex) with atom.

Confirming on OS X Yosemite. https://www.dropbox.com/s/o1f4d6dnh8z0hiu/Screenshot%202015-03-12%2018.42.19.png?dl=0

setting OS X 10.10.2 to "automatic by language" will ignore this setting, too.
I have a native German md file and it's checked in English.

Same here with OSX 10.10.3 and the latest packages. The system preference in Keyboard/Text/Spelling is not used. I also tried with a clean ~/.atom directory but that didn't help.

Updating to the lates git version changes the behaviour of spell-check on debian. Up to now it was possible to put the german .aff and .dic files in /usr/share and use them. but they're not longer honored. Replacing the .aff and .dic file in ~/.atom has no effect at all and my system settings are also not honored.

Please give at least a small howto force to use one language until this bug is properly fixed. German language correction is crucial for me, as I'm writing currently my PhD thesis with atom - so please give a hint how to change it the dictionary the hard way now.

Same for me on OS X Yosemite 10.10.4.

Please add a possibility to switch the language inside atom or make atom honor the system settings, as this is a show-stopper to write huge documents (e.g. a thesis in latex) with atom.

Honouring the system setting would definately be preferable.

+1 since most of us (i guess) alos use atom to write documentations (ex : markdown) , it should be fixed and we should be able to choose the language (not only on a default basis but also in a per document basis).

[getreu]

Atom has excellent support for writing documentations with Asciidoctor. Here also selecting other languages for spell-checking would be extremely useful.

This seems to be the same problem as atom/node-spellchecker#15 and #11

[maccadia]

Any news on this issue ? Any workaround ?
I'm using Atom 1.0.15 on Ubuntu with LANG set to fr_FR.

By the way, I don't agree that spell-checking should follow system locale only. Some might write in different languages in different documents.

Dupe of #11

I believe this has been resolved through various changes related to the system and locale-based checking in the last few years. Closing the issue; feel free to re-open if further conversation is needed.
