- Analysis Summary
- Lets the desktop app use multiple spelling dictionaries at the same time.
- Why It Matters
- People who switch between languages can get delayed or mismatched spelling feedback under a single-language detector.
- Applying several dictionaries can reduce that friction without requiring a manual language switch.
- Detailed Description
- This desktop experiment lets spellcheck use multiple language dictionaries at the same time.
- In the default state, Discord detects one language from the text being typed and switches to a matching single dictionary.
- The treatment combines the Discord app locale with the device language list and applies every supported dictionary it can resolve.
- If multi-language setup is unavailable or fails, it falls back to the first supported single locale.
- This is likely intended to make spelling feedback more consistent for people who mix languages in the same conversation.
