Steam, would you kindly add an option somewhere to spell check please?

I'm mid-range age wise and still am having issues struggling with spelling sometimes.

For the life of me I can't figure out why all my words that I write in the forums on here are underlined red.

I've set up Windows language to English, my keyboard layout is in or for English and Steam itself is also set to English.

On my old Windows 10 I could just by switching keyboard layout (ctrl-space) change in Steam the language correction between these 2 languages.

I did originally have a Dutch Windows 11 version installed and had to find an English option in it which I since have changed but for Steam it didn't register, now...

I am almost certain it is not a me-only issue but that some other people might be struggling with this because I just assume that if I have this issue, others will too kind of under the same circumstances so.

I would love to see a dedicated option somewhere to either change language proofing on Steam or just for this seeming bug to disappear.

Thank you very much even for considering.

Greetings.

You can use an online spell checker, copy-paste the text over here, done.

No because something, which I think is Windows is recognizing the language as a different one, so literally every word is wrong and then also I can not keep adding English words into a language that is different because there must be a way to fix this somehow, only I am not seeing it to be honest and I've tried I think everything possible to try and to solve the issue except buying Windows 11 again in an English version or reinstalling the such said Operating System with the English language as the OS default.

Well that is what I do.

I copy and paste my messages into OneNote for or in Windows and that way I can see which words I am doing wrong but so like me trying to learn and to correct myself, trying to learn these words often new words will come by that I want to use in certain context and since I don't use them a lot I kind of get them wrong and then so this becomes an issue where I really would appreciate an ability to directly, in Steam see what I am doing wrong and to be able to select-correct it, and this way also learning becomes easier, than having to copy paste out of Steam and copy paste back into Steam sometimes even multiple times.

Which also kind of takes up a bit of time and effort and becomes sort of chaotic at a point which kind of is preventing me from wanting to do this.

I mean I don't mind having some wrong words but for instance everything underlined in red is also psychologically somewhat of a horror.


Thanks for your comments guys.

Sometimes I feel like I was that user because I again, feel like I am the only one having this issue :P

I mean... I really should just learn some words and expand my vocabulary but at a point in life, especially if you are engaged a lot with other things, like gaming or speaking instead of writing... (and againg too, forgot about that)

This kind of becomes harder.

Regardless.

Thank you for your comment, and I want to add if I may...

Some things take a long time to fix, even if they seem simple. Other times of course, they never are :/

Ah okay, thanks for clearing that up for me as yesterday I had a sort of a deja vu.

Moment...

But no I hadn't tried and as a matter of fact that's a solid um.. suggestion or idea.

I might do that, thank you very much. For now my confidence and curiosity (in regards to spelling) is keeping me afloat.
