Change spellcheck language in Ghostwriter 2018-10-14
Markdown

Ghostwriter is a Markdown editor with html preview. Previously I used StackEdit, but it's web-based.

Ghostwriter has built-in US English spellcheck. It supports Hunspell dictionaries for other languages.

To install other languages is easy, for Danish:

$ sudo apt install hunspell-da

Substitute apt with your distro's package manager. In Ghostwriter, go to Settings > Preferences > Spell Check (tab), and select the desired language. You might need to toggle the spellcheck or switch the language back and forth for it to work.

Here is a list of Hunspell dictionaries in Ubuntu (18.04) repo:
