I use the English language version of Fedora Silverblue 34, but I usually use the Spanish language for communication. In Geary, for example, I don’t find how to install the Spanish spell-checker. Any hints? Thanks in advance.
I assume it’s a flatpak install of Geary.
Switch Gnome system language to spanish, install Geary, switch Gnome back to English. (I am sure there is a better way…)
EDIT: Flatpak Command Reference — Flatpak documentation shows a --set
Example: flatpak config --set languages "sv;en;fi"
- worth a try
Thank you very much, augenauf. It worked perfectly. As you guessed, I used a flatpak install, in this case, the one from Flathub, not the Fedora version. I executed the language command as suggested, with “es, en”. Then, I rebooted the system, reinstalled Geary from Flathub and now everything is fine. I have both languages available. Thanks again.
flatpak update
would probably have been sufficient. anyways, glad it worked.
It works for me with the flathub Geary, but with the one from registry.fedoraproject.org it doesn’t. It only allows using English spell check (although the UI is in Spanish).
The problem with flathub version is that it’s affected by Geary dies randomly, sometimes after almost 1h open (#1227) · Issues · GNOME / Geary · GitLab and closes automatically, so I miss messages. Fedora’s version doesn’t have that bug, but I have no spell check
