Ahmed_Masoud Hello, thanks for the reply.

Also I would like to add, Spell Check seems to be tied to Sharepoint Site default language, not current user language.

So if Site default language is english, and the user is using some other language, the Editor is still spell checking for english, not the user language.

In Sharepoint Site settings, it seems it is not possible to change Site Default language, so spell check is always locked to Site default language.

Having an option to disable the spell check entirely, or at least an option to change the spell check language would be great.
