French spell checking not loading
Hello, I am on the latest version of Thunderbird on a Windows 11 computer. Previously with a Windows 10 computer I had no problem spell checking e-mails in French. However with a new Windows 11 laptop the French dictionary although installed shows as not loaded on the dashboard and unsurprisingly does not function. I have restarted both Thunderbird and the laptop. No result. Any advice most welcome.
Best wishes,
Stephen Jefferson

Hello there Stephen.
It looks like you installed a language pack instead of a dictionary. This often happens in Thunderbird (see: https://services.addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/language-tools/). Please try installing the correct dictionary. Does that solve the problem, or are there other issues? If so, could you send us some screenshots?

Are you running the French version of Thunderbird? In that case you don't need to install any additional dictionary. The French dictionary is already built-in. Also check your Settings related to Spelling. At the top right of the Thunderbird window, click the menu button ≡ > Settings Type "spell" (without the quotes) into the search box.
In case you installed TB for a different language you'll need to install the French dictionary. https://addons.thunderbird.net/thunderbird/language-tools/

Hello there
Yes, use the link for other languages :
https://addons.thunderbird.net/thunderbird/language-tools/
Yes, only installed language package/dictionaries go as default. Or, if the language is the same as the software, then you receive that language as the default dictionary onboard. Others are extensions to load
