How Do I Change the Default Language for Spell Check As You Type (SCAYT)?

This website contains links to software which is either no longer maintained or will be supported only until the end of 2019 (CKFinder 2). For the latest documentation about current CKSource projects, including software like CKEditor 4/CKEditor 5, CKFinder 3, Cloud Services, Letters, Accessibility Checker, please visit the new documentation website.

If you look for an information about very old versions of CKEditor, FCKeditor and CKFinder check also the CKEditor forum, which was closed in 2015. If not, please head to StackOverflow for support.

By default SCAYT treats the text written in the editor as American English (en_US). If you want to change the default SCAYT language, set the scayt_sLang configuration value to one of the 16 possible language codes that are currently accepted. 

// Sets SCAYT to French.
config.scayt_sLang = 'fr_FR';

These are the language codes of languages currently supported by SCAYT: en_US, en_GB, pt_BR, da_DK, nl_NL, en_CA, fi_FI, fr_FR, fr_CA, de_DE, el_GR, it_IT, nb_NO, pt_PT, es_ES, and sv_SE. If you enter a language code that is not supported, SCAYT will fall back to default American English.
