Question

I want to create a documentation with Asciidoc in Intellij.

Is there a way to change the dictionary language in Intellij? For example from english to german.

Download and unzip the dictionary from http://www.winedt.org/dict.html
Go to File > Settings > type "dict" in the search and click Dictionaries > click the green plus, go to the unzipped folder and select all *.dic files.

Before you add custom dictionaries, check under:

Editor > Proofreading

as you can add certain languages via the +-icon.

I also needed both German and English spell-checking, my current project uses a mix of those languages and German is supported out of the box.

(This is a functionality that comes with the bundled Grazie plugin. So if you don't see that option, you may need to add it.)
