Bug: MisspellingToCorrection not check correctly if my default language in OS settings is English about obsidian-linter HOT 3 CLOSED

Hey @DHERRADOR , thanks for the feedback. Autocorrect misspellings is just a list of mispellings to their corrections. Most of the words are from English, but there are others that are French and from other languanges.

Currently the Linter has no way to know what language you intend to write in (the locale is just for the date locale). It sounds like you wanted to use this setting to determine whether or not to run the auto corrections for any file. Is that correct?

Yes

In any case, understanding your message, I would suggest that you at least explain in that section of the settings, which can produce unwanted effects in some language (especially Spanish).

If you allow me, I will explain my odyssey with this problem, which, more than a bug, I now understand is a misunderstanding on my part.

For me, the title of this adjustment: "Auto-correct Common Misspelling", makes me think that it will improve the correction of my writing (in my language Spanish), not in others. Even more so when you consider that I don't read "Auto-correct Common Misspelling" but rather"Corrección automática de errores ortográficos comunes" in my language.

Obviously I didn't click on your link "Auto-correct map of words" link. And I didn't, because your plugin is so extensive in functions, that user is normal to mark some of the settings only thinking they are going to do.

The only thing I can tell you is that I have been driving myself crazy for approximately 15 days to understand why the words kept changing in Obsidian.
Luckily I have some control over regular expressions, and with Visual Studio Code I have been able to restore the changed words.
I use Obsidian for work, and my research time on Obsidian is limited.
I'm a relatively new Obsidian user, approx. 3 weeks of use, and since installing Linter, without knowing this was the problem, I have been researching solutions.

• I disabled Obsidian's autocorrect many times
• Then I tried making changes to the spell checker on my iPhone and iPad,
• Also remove English, as an alternative language, from my spell checker on my Mac
• and until that today I found a user recommendation on a forum to "Disable all Obsidian plugins - Restricted Mode"

Of course from here, I narrowed down my problem until I reached Linter.

Aside from making it clear how clumsy I was in my research, what I want to show with my story, is that it has made me waste a lot of time. Not because it was your fault. I have learned that I should read a little more before activating features in the hundreds of plugins that Obsidian has.

But constructively, I would suggest explaining this setup a bit more. Surely you could avoid such a waste of time for any other Spanish user. Since some of the words indicated in the list of "words to replace" are well-spelled words in my language.

In any case, it's a suggestion, and you should modify my case as such. Since it is not a bug.

And I take this opportunity to congratulate you for your work and for this excellent plugin that offers such great versatility to my dear Obsidian.

I have made the wording changes for Autocorrect Mispellings. It should be present in the next release.
