I simply want to be able to spell check my (german) notebooks.

There was a question similar to this but with no answer:

Non-english spell check dictionaries for Mathematica?

You can find this Wolfram page:

http://library.wolfram.com/infocenter/TechNotes/4715/

"Available dictionaries include Brazilian Portuguese, ..."

But no further infos or link where to get them.

Is this possible?

  • $\begingroup$ Additionally sending a message to WRI support (not the distributer) might be useful, too. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ What version of Mathematica are you using? From version 11 on there is support for German (in the preferences). $\endgroup$

Did you try this one (it apparently worked for me): Selecting spell check language by Global Preferences DefaultNaturalLanguage

Documentation tells about it: DefaultNaturalLanguage is an option for character selections that specifies the language used when checking the spelling of a word in a human natural language selection. ... The language can also be specified explicitly as a string, for example, by setting DefaultNaturalLanguage to "English", "French", or "German".
