From ca3da7a603c449c609d79e1bee6022df0ccf2079 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ian Macdonald Date: Mon, 10 Oct 2022 21:13:06 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Set the Windows spell-checking language from $LANGUAGE. Session on Windows wants to spell-check using American English, no matter what I do. This seems to be because it wrongly assumes my locale to be `en-US`, when it is actually `en-GB`. ``` "spellcheck: setting languages to: [\"en-US\"]","time":"2022-10-10T19:19:09.216Z" ``` With this patch, Windows will use `$LANGUAGE`, if set, to determine the language to be used for spell-checking. Linux is unaffected by this patch and will correctly infer the spell-checking language from `$LANG`. Create a .bat file and start Session from this: ``` @echo off set LANGUAGE=en-GB "C:\Users\ian\AppData\Local\Programs\Session\Session.exe" --lang=en-GB ``` Note that the use of `--lang=` above sets only the Session UI language, not the spell-checker language. This is a partial fix for #2013, specifically [this comment](https://github.com/oxen-io/session-desktop/issues/2013#issuecomment-998679090): --- ts/node/spell_check.ts | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/ts/node/spell_check.ts b/ts/node/spell_check.ts index 42dc04eae..00f73afe8 100644 --- a/ts/node/spell_check.ts +++ b/ts/node/spell_check.ts @@ -5,7 +5,9 @@ import { sync as osLocaleSync } from 'os-locale'; export const setup = (browserWindow: BrowserWindow, messages: any) => { const { session } = browserWindow.webContents; - const userLocale = osLocaleSync().replace(/_/g, '-'); + const userLocale = process.env.LANGUAGE + ? process.env.LANGUAGE + : osLocaleSync().replace(/_/g, '-'); const userLocales = [userLocale, userLocale.split('-')[0]]; const available = session.availableSpellCheckerLanguages;
