It’s hard to believe this is still an unresolved issue. The appeal of the deskstop app for user with multiple languages is cero, none, nada. Not only is a very old issue, but says a lot about how the company respond to consumer feedback. It seems multilanguage users are not a priority for Asana. I am no programmer, but my guess is that this shouldn’t be that hard to fix. We are talking about turning off a simple but very annoying setting. Common Asana, get it together already.

just ran into this problem and see there is a lot of support for such a simple issue… it’s the app I guess not the browser version.

This is such an annoying issue. Come on Asana, please fix this for all the non-English and multilingual users! Just let us switch off spell check at least.

+1 really annoying to have only 1 proofing language.
Best case: go for browser or OS enabled content languages.

I only use the browser version, perhaps other Asana-browser-users are helped by this:

Solved by switching on the other language to be checked in Chrome Settings.
Now English and Dutch are checked by Chrome, Dutch tekst no longer highlighted as wrong.

I believe this is a very simple feature to add to the asana app, funny enough I can change the language of the app but still the spell check will be only in english!!!

I do work in a foreign language (which is not english) and spell check help a lot!!

No update on this?

+1 Please fix this!

Yeah, how do you even add spell checking into an application, but then not only make it only support one language, but it’s not even possible to turn it off!

The lack of the feature to turn off spell checking, seems a lazy for a big name like Asana. It’s as if you are relying on Windows to do things right (since Asana is supposed to follows Windows spellchecking settings), and we all know how “reliable” Windows can be. Besides it shows a lack of cultural awareness considering we are in the most internationally interconnected and diverse workforce in human history. Which could be construed as short sided or worst, as not giving a rat’s behind if the rest of the world needs to be able to use the software in different languages. This feature should not be so hard to implement, and there shouldn’t be this kind long, exasperated pleads in your forums. Common Asana, step up to the “challenge” already! Give us the off switch!!
