Allow the user to set the language for the spell checker. It now only supports English

Hi, you can change the language in Preference ($HOME/snap/prospect-mail/current/.config/Prospect\ Mail/Preferences).
Example for use spanish:

{"spellcheck":{"dictionaries":["es"],"dictionary":""}}

Thanks. However, Prospect Mail does not seem to be installed in my $HOME/snap/ directory...

[fried-eggz]

Ok. Found the directory. But where to find dictionary for other languages?

In $HOME/snap/prospect-mail/current/.config/Prospect\ Mail/Dictionaries/ there is only one file:

en-US-9-0.bdic

I updated my preference file to look like this, does it look correct?

{"electron":{"media":{"device_id_salt":"3D8B24E94FC20067C15D1D3B479687C9"}},"spellcheck":{"dictionaries":["en-US", "sv-SE"],"dictionary":""}}

I've managed to partially solve the issue using the following steps:

1. Locate your Prospect Mail preferense folder:
   Rightclick the Prospect Mail icon in your taskbar and click "Settings -> Show settings file". In the foler "Pprospect Mail" you should finde a file called "Preferences"

2. Edit the file "Preferences" and add you locale
   Mine was Swedish so sv-SE
   {"electron":{"media":{"device_id_salt":"3D8B24E94FC20067C15D1D3B479687C9"}},"spellcheck":{"dictionaries":["en-US", "sv-SE"],"dictionary":""}}

3. Go to the folder Dictionaries

4. Copy your dictionary file to this folder
   You can get your language specific file by installing your langugae in Chrome/Chromium and copy it from ~/snap/chromium/common/chromium/Dictionaries or ~/.config/google-chrome/Dictionaries

5. Restart Prospect Mail

Caveat: Still doesn't allow for Right-Click -> Correct spelling

[fried-eggz]

Any Idea on when we can get right click -> correct spelling in different languages?

New version uses MS Editor spellchecker, languages are managed by your settings.
