Craft includes spell checking support for 34 languages to help you catch spelling issues in your documents. You can set a default language globally in Settings, or change it for specific documents.

​
Global Spell Check Settings

To set the default spell check language, go to Settings > Language & Spelling, then select your preferred language under Spelling. Spell check settings in Language & Spelling

​
Document-Level Spell Check

To change the spell check language for a specific document, open the Info tab in the right sidebar. Under Spelling, select the language you want to use for that document. Document spell check settings in the Info sidebar
The document-level setting is perfect when you need to write in different languages across your workspace.

​
Managing Learned Words

Craft delegates spell checking to the operating system — it does not maintain its own spelling dictionary. Learned words are stored and managed at the system level, not inside Craft.
When the spell checker flags a correctly spelled word, you can teach the system to recognise it. Once learned, the word is no longer underlined in Craft or any other app that uses the same OS spell checker.

​
Learning a Word

Right-click (or long-press on mobile) the underlined word and select Learn Spelling. The word is added to the system dictionary shared across all apps.

​
Unlearning a Word

If you accidentally learned a misspelled word, you can remove it.
Open Terminal and run:
open ~/Library/Spelling/LocalDictionary
This opens the file in TextEdit. Remove the unwanted word (one word per line), save, and restart Craft.
