Hey Team, does anyone know if spellcheck can be used for different languages?

Yes, spellcheck in Sanity Studio can work with different languages! According to the Block type documentation, the Portable Text Editor has a spellCheck option that you can enable or disable (it defaults to true).

Here's how you can configure it in your schema:

{
  name: 'content',
  type: 'array',
  of: [
    {
      type: 'block',
      options: {
        spellCheck: true // enabled by default
      }
    }
  ]
}

Important to know: The actual language used for spellchecking is determined by your browser's language settings, not by Sanity itself. The spellcheck feature relies on the browser's built-in spell checker, which means:

For multilingual content workflows, here are some common approaches:

If you need more advanced language-specific validation beyond basic spellchecking (like grammar checking or language-specific rules), you might want to explore custom validation rules or integrate third-party language tools into your workflow.
