Check Spelling not working for Finnish

Hi,

I've searched the forum for answer and tried everything I've found. My Check spelling is not working in Finnish.

I have changed the language to Finnish in prefrences hyphenation settings, character styles, paragraph styles and in the written text box.

Spell check finds no words and automated check also does nothing. Any suggestions?

    Hello @Miika Peltonen,

    Thanks for your patience. At this time, Finnish is not supported for Spell Check in Illustrator.

    Would you mind creating a UserVoice for this feature request (https://adobe.ly/3PiW2SC) and adding your comments there? Doing this will help us prioritize this request, and you will be notified of any updates.

     

    Feel free to reach out if you have more questions or need assistance. We'd be happy to help.

     

    Thanks,

    Hello Miika,

     

    I did a test and it looks like no words are flagged as incorrect in Finnish using AI 28.2 on Mac 12.7.1.

     

    I would file a post with Illustrator Voice..  Did this work in previous versions of Illustrator, you may want to use an older version until they fix this.

    Hi Mike,

     

    Thanks for testing this also.

     

    I havn't used spell check before. But now I really need it continously.  I did report a bug via Illustrators Help menu.

    Hope they come up with a solution.

    Hello @Miika Peltonen,

    Thanks for reaching out. Would you mind trying to change the language for your text in the Character Panel to Finnish and then using Spell Check to let us know if it helps?

    Looking forward to hearing from you.

    Thanks,
    Anubhav

    Then that word is probably not in its dictionary.

    Check Spelling suggests words without knowing what is correct. I can do the check with Englis, Swedish, Spanish and other languages on that same word and it suggests corrections. With Finnish, nothing.

    Illustrator uses Hunspell dictionaries and they just might not be very complete.
