(CudaText 1.224.0.0, linux-x86_64-gtk2, fpc 3.2.3)

Spell checking worked until now. I get this dialog box:

Dictionary for language 'en_US' could not be found
Please check https://pyenchant.github.io/pyenchant/ for details

Yet I have correct Linux packages installed. The Python console traceback:

Code: Select all

Init: cuda_spell_checker
Traceback (most recent call last):

console error shows because plugin cannot import the 'enchant' lib or cannot create Dict() object.
i guess smthing is broken in the installation of Enchant in your system?
can you try these steps in the Terminal:

1.
$ pip3 install pyenchant
(this installs python Enchant lib)

2.
$ python3
>>> import enchant
>>> dict_obj=enchant.Dict('en_US')
>>> dict_obj
<enchant.Dict object at 0x7af4e825af20>

as you see I run Python, then in the python I entered 3 commands. all works for me, Dict() obj created.

and check what available dicts you have.
call in CudaText: Options / Settings-plugins / Spell checker / Select languge
it shows menu for me with 4-6 langs:

en
en_US
en_GB
etc.
what does it show for you?

Yes my system was broken. CudaText now works. Maybe Void Linux rearranged its packages. CudaText spelling always worked before. I had hunspell dictionaries for a long time, plus aspell stuff. Anyway, I just installed two more Void packages, and CudaText works again:

Code: Select all

$ sudo xbps-install -S enchant2-hunspell python3-enchant

P.S. I would not use pip these days, uv or distro packaging is best.

Thanks!

PIP is familiar to me. I use Ubuntu and APT is less familiar (and for Void / Arch we have totally different systems).
