Spellcheck
Page last updated 03 October 2025
Insytful uses robust tools to help you find misspellings across your site. The spell checker supports over 50 languages and uses your site's custom dictionary for the best results.
Page level
Insytful applies the appropriate language dictionary based on your content's markup.
At a page level, it checks your web pages for an HTML language attribute to select the appropriate dictionary. If no language is specified, Insytful defaults to English. Without a language specified, your user's screen reader and browser will default to the language of their device or browser.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en-GB">
...
</html>Dialects
When a specific dialects isn't avaialble, Insytful automatically falls back to the next available dialect group. For example, if "es-MX" (Mexican Spanish) is set but no dictionary exists for it, Insytful defaults to "es" and applies the generic Spanish dictionary instead.
Content of differing languages within a page
Your pages might contain content in different languages, for example:
- Translations
- Language-specific terms
- Or even names.
Insytful, by default, will use the dictionary of the page unless the content's language is specified using the language attribute again.
