FireFox, i am not American!! How can i get you to spell correctly?

JustAnotherSaver

I am sick of being told my spelling of colour should be color etc etc etc.

How do i get rid of those annoying red wavy lines when they shouldn't be there? I don't mind them telling me i've spelled something wrong, but i want it to be UK ENGLISH, not American.

Click the Firefox logo at the top left of the browser then Options/Content/Languages and select a language to add: English/United Kingdom [en - gb].

I've also added this dictionary in Add-ons:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/british-english-dictionary/?src=api

I think that should sort it.

Aye i'd done the add on but couldn't figure out why i was still being told to spell things 'wrong'.

Thanks for that.

Nope it doesn't seem to be working. I just got the red line under neighbour.

Get Firefox in your language of choice here:

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/all.html

Welsh, Breton, Gaelic (Scots or Irish) anyone???

Bit of Esperanto for you Sir???

A little Kashubian for you Kim???

(We had to ditch Klingon as it attracted the wrong crowd)


Or if you just want the latest UK issue

If you have the UK dictionary installed, you need to select it by right-clicking on a multi-row text box (like the one you type a reply into on this forum), and selecting "Languages" and then "English (United Kingdom)".

Followed Gyro's advice - worked a treat. Thanks.

I have the 'English British Dictionary' 1.19.1 Add On

Seems to work a treat even if always underlines Firefox!!
