Spell check...

[cSg|mc-Hotsauce]

Option to turn it off, please.



Edit: Chat now has the option to turn it off. 1/2 way there.

ADDED ---> Edit2: Maybe a suggestions list too?

Edit3: Maybe try this?

As I already said many months ago: We need the option to turn it off or to manually switch between languages. The best thing would be if we could choose several languages at once. Opera and Discord are examples for a good implementation of a spellcheck.

I can't believe that there is no official option to simply turn off that annoying spellchecker. I'm only an occasional contributor here and have noticed this issue now - my system is set to German, and everything I write here in English is underlined in red. I have seen the description of the workaround, but it really shouldn't be needed to fiddle around with system files for such a basic option, yes?

I don't use this workaround, VALVE MUST fix this.

yes we needs this years ago in steam omg

I regret updating the client now. Everything that isn't in german is now underlined.
It's like Discords spellcheck just without an option to turn it off.

no steams spell check is worse cause its not a legit one Discords is legit cause you can right click the miss spelled words and the corectly spelled words are in the right click menue and i tried this all it did was remove spellcheck entierly

Thank you! This worked for me.
I have set my Steam language to English, why on earth would I want the autocorrect in Norwegian? They need to fix this.

[Reffy]

Wow. I've been searching for this for ages.
I'm Dutch but I type here in English, so almost every word gets a red line. Even when I change the language to English.

Why you can't turn this feature off normally is absolutely baffeling.

Update: We have mostly made it!

Right click the misspelled word and suggestions will be listed along with an add to Dictionary option.

The right click menu is long now.

Did you right click on the word itself?

I have the same problem. It seems that it's not working in the Steam chat.

[cSg|mc-Hotsauce]

Chat has its own settings but only to turn it on/off. The update I'm talking about is for the forum.

[Supafly]

Least it's something. First thing I added to Dictionary was Nvidia

Was completely confused about it's suggestion for Nvidia = Dravidian

Yay, no more Red underlining. Now just need to make sure I don't add misspelt words to it

This is brilliant!
It works for both languages in the .json-hack too :)

In case (some of) you missed, try the workaround posted above. Still works fine for me.

"above"

this thread got merged many times, and the workaround got lost

Here is the working solution to disable that spell check.
> Close Steam client
> Find C:\Users\YOUR USERNAME\AppData\Local\Steam\htmlcache\UserPrefs.json
> Open the file "UserPrefs.json" with Notepad or any other text editor.
> Find the line "dictionaries":["hr"]" - where hr/de/en is the certain language.
> Delete those letters "hr" / "de" so it looks like this: "dictionaries":[""]
> Save the file and start your Steam again.

I just tried and it really works. No more red lines.

Since this they did add an option to disable the spellcheck in chat ...
Thanks to you for pointing out the location of that file now I was able to make spellchecking work in more than one language.
If anyone interested you can add the language id using comma-separated values, eg:

"spellcheck":{"dictionaries":["en,it"],"dictionary":""}

You mean as described in my guide mentioned in the OP?
