Everything is underlined in red when I type in Spanish

If there is already a way to either turn off spellcheck, or to tell a FigJam file that I am working in a different language, or if that could be introduced, that would be great. I’m a new user and a Spanish teacher, and I am loving starting to use FigJam in my classroom, but it’s a bummer that most words are underlined in red!

    Hey there, so sorry for the frustration!

    You can enable or disable spell check from the Main Menu:

    1. Click on the Figma icon in the upper left-hand corner
    2. Go to Text > Spell check
    3. Click Check spelling to enable or disable spell check

    You can also change your preferred spell check language from the Main Menu:

    1. Click on the Figma icon in the upper left-hand corner
    2. Go to Text > Spell check
    3. Select from the list of available languages

    Hi! I’m using FigJam within my browser - Google Chrome Version 128.0.6613.138 - on a Macbook Pro running Sonoma 14.6.1

    Thanks, @Stella2!

    We have seen reports of Grammarly (or similar spellcheck apps/plugins) causing conflicts. If you have any of these installed, having them uninstalled or de-activated may be a good 1st troubleshooting step to check if they’re overriding our native spell check function.

    Thanks for confirming, @Stella2!

    Can you please try clearing your browser cache to see if that makes any difference?

    We’re still not able to repro using the browser in FigJam. If clearing your browser cache doesn’t help, we may have to escalate this to our technical quality team to investigate further.

    no luck 😦 it doesn’t seem to be isolated to just one board either - looks to be across everything.

    Thanks, @Stella2!

    Let’s try one last troubleshooting tip…

    Can you please try checking your OS System Settings > Keyboard > Input Sources - Edit… > Spelling, then toggle from “Automatic by Language” to “British English”?

    Hello, this same issue is happening to me. I tried all the troubleshoots and no luck. My available spell check languages are English and Russian. I do work in English and French and would like to add French.
    I also went to change the language on my main page in settings and have the exact same options as Bjorn_Larson.

    Did anyone figure out this issue?
