Setting a language in spell check does not install the language
I've set the spell check language in group policy as per https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#spellchecklanguage to en-AU, however after checking the spell check option...
As I described, turn on the languages on an internet-connected PC, then look in the Appdata\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data Folder for *.bdic Files
Or just download them from a chromium or electron Project page which hosts them.

Hi!
These files seem no longer to be created by Edge
Could you provide an URL?
The Chromium project only, from what I found contain a description how to edit these files.
And searching for the other returned "What is an Electron?"
Erik_Taurus just go to the "latest" release of the Electron Project:
https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/latest
Ctrl+F Search there for the newest hunspell_dictionaries.zip - extract it and use the bdic Files of the languages you need.
One additional hint: The bdic-Files in this zip-File have no valid time-stamp, depending on the software you use to extract you get an actual timestamp or "no timestamp", so maybe you like to "touch" the files modified timestamp before copying them to your machines.

Thanks for this!
I don't need the update of time stamps(I think) but thanks for the hint!I wrote a guide for Steam a few years ago on how to spell check multiple languages and getting the .bdic from Edge was what I described as a method to get these files.

But now since Edge doesn't do that any more.
I had a few laying around, collected from various sources.
I'll update it with the github link.
