How to add a dictionary for spell check in Android Studio / IntelliJ Idea

Question

I have been using Android Studio in Spanish, and it bothers me that it highlights as incorrect words which are spelt correctly.

Can I add a Spanish dictionary to Android

Answer 1

In Android Studio (1.2.1.1 - 2.3.3) you can find this here:

File -> Settings -> Editor -> Spelling -> Dictionaries, and click "+" sign next to "Custom Dictionaries Folders" grid.

Important Note: You need to use UTF-8 character coding in your "language.dic" file if you would like to use an exotic language like Hungarian, Spanish, Portuguese, etc.

1. Download from http://www.winedt.org/dict.html the UNICODE language file.
2. Unzip and open it with Windows Notepad.
3. Use "Save as" and choose UTF-8 coding.
4. Open this file with Android Studio: File -> Settings -> Editor -> Spelling -> Dictionaries, and click "+" sign next to "Custom Dictionaries Folders" grid.
5. Restart Android Studio. Smile! You have not problems with nasty letters like "éÉíÍóÓöÖőŐúÚüÜűŰ".
