Question Red underlined words when writing in English on Italian Windows (SOLVED)

[TheFlyingCelt]

Hi guys,

I'm Italian and my Windows 11 is set to Italian language, and when I type on the web - just like now - it is underlining the words in red. I have already disabled all possible spell checker settings in Windows setting, but still...
Any idea how to get rid of the annoying underlining, please?
Thanks

If you're writing in web browser, then those would be browser specific settings (not windows settings).

Following on from what SkyNet said, if you right-click on an annoying spelling "error" then there should be an option to turn off the spell check. Or if not, check your browser's settings and the option will be there somewhere.

Vivaldi is packed with tons of settings, but nothing related to spell-checker. I can't find anything. On the web it shows to right-click on a red underlined word but it does nothing. I'm not so sure this issue is browser related 🤔

Consider that the red underlining could be some sort of grammatical flagging.

 

[TheFlyingCelt]

@Ralston18 Hmm... I don't think it's the case though, as it underlines every word, not just some. Actually, most of them.
P.S. I don't have any Grammarly or similar apps installed.

@SkyNetRising By typing into Telegram for desktop there is not underlining, so I guess you're right. Still, there is nothing related to spell-checker into Vivaldi's settings. I typed "spell" into the setting search field and nothing came up.

 

[TheFlyingCelt]

I have set Windows in English and so are all the menus in Vivaldi and rebooted the system, nevertheless it's still underlining here. I don't know how to fix this. It's annoying.

Experiment here a bit:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/microsoft-editor/grammar-checker

Type a sentence or two in English.

Then do the same using Italian.

Another way to help figure out what may be happening is to make some deliberate, controlled mistakes.

See how the "editor" (be it OS, Browser, or website) responds.

If you can figure out what is actually happening to cause the red underling then that may help discover the "fix".

The Microsoft link you provided to me is not underlining anything. Keep in mind that I have set the system to English now. It looks like it is happening here on Tom's only, but I'm not sure. I'm very confused.
Let me try to add a screenshot to show you what it looks like.

I've just tried to type into a text form on Microsoft Answers, and it underlines there too if I write in English, but not in Italian. This, despite having my system in English now, and having all spell-checkers in Windows settings on "off" and having installed both languages on my ststem (Italian and English) with their speech recognition and stuff, although on "off".
When I write in Italian, it won't underline.

Also: left click your login icon/name.

On the drop down menu select Preferences.

What "Style" options are listed and what is selected?

Doubt that that will make a difference but no harm in checking/testing.

Seems to be narrowing down bit.

@Ralston18 as for the links you kindly provided to me, I have both language packs installed and all their tools turned off.

 

[Ralston18]

You are welcome.

Be sure to take a close look in the last link I posted. Specifically with respect to the post by Charles Kenyon.

Seems to be the most promising and he does provide an additional link in his post.

Let me repeat you one more time.
That is not a windows setting.
Change spellchecker settings in vivaldi browser settings.

• Right-click in a text input field to open the context menu.
• Select Spell check.
• Click on Use basic spell check to toggle the feature on or off.

@SkyNetRising I don't know at what Vivaldi browser settings you're looking at, but let me say it again: there's nothing like that in my up-to date Vivaldi for Windows.

Do you not have language settings available in vivaldi?
Can you show screenshot with available vivaldi settings on your pc?

 

[TheFlyingCelt]

@SkyNetRising it's too many to take a single screenshot. Please have a look here at 7m25s

Try searching for "language" in settings search bar.

 

[TheFlyingCelt]

Buddy, there's nothing related to spell-checker. Language, Spell, Checker... I went through all the settings and there is nothing but the preferred languages to choose from when browsing.

 

[SkyNetRising]

What do you get, when right-clicking in a text field in a web page?

Should be similar to this:

May be right-click on your mouse is not working? (if you can't get this menu)

 

[TheFlyingCelt]

I get absolutely nothing.
Are you taking screenshots from your own PC or images from the internet? I'm asking you because those might be related to an old version of Vivaldi.
Note: My mouse is working like a charm. Right-click works everywhere.

 

[SkyNetRising]

Here is, what I get when right-clicking in a text field in vivaldi.
Just checked.
