5.0 Spellcheck changing to UK?

Davidal · October 11, 2017

Is there way to set the spellcheck to UK English? All the red underlines on correct spellings are driving me nuts :D

You can't switch to UK English, but you disable it

Thanks.

I also find it rather agonising to be bombarded with red coloured lines under correctly spelt words in my notes and wonder whether UK English might be an option one day. I have clumsy typing fingers, so do find red underlines useful and would prefer an alternative to the workaround linked above.

Please add my vote to the "it would be nice if UK English were an option" list. :-)

Same.

And me! UK English option highly desired.

Just to update this old thread, Zotero 6, released earlier this year, includes additional spellchecking dictionaries, including U.K. English. It can be configured by right-clicking on the note editor.
