The spell check does not work. Every German word is underlined in red, although German is set as the language in every system.

I would like to use Firefox as a browser on my Linux Mint device. As I said in the headline, I have set all languages in the system as well as in Firefox to German and uninstalled and reinstalled the dictionary. So when I write something in Firefox it is underlined in red and when I right click for the context menu where word suggestions are made, only English is displayed and if I then scroll down and want to add another language as a spell checker, Firefox sends me to the add-on administration, which didn't help me. Because no matter what I do, only English (USA) is displayed as the language for spelling. Is there perhaps no way to change this, or is there another method?

Many thanks in advance.

You may have installed the German language pack and not theGerman dictionary.

A dictionary for spell checking you install will appear under "Settings -> Dictionaries". You can look here for dictionaries:

A language pack provides string translations for the user interface and appears under "Settings -> Languages".

Oh okay, I wouldn't have thought of that. But that's a good tip, thank you.
