It looks like it’s trying to correct to English, but I don’t know where to disable this feature. In Windows settings (devices > typing > spelling > highlight misspelled words) is already set to off:
Very good question, I would have advised to look at Windows settings indeed. The Asana app itself is definitely not doing this… @ambforumleader any idea?
Tricky one, I am on a Mac and not really able to troubleshoot on Windows. I would also assume that has to have something to do with the system spell-checker. I also rule out Asana.
You can try by deactivating the browser’s spell checkers, but honestly, I don’t see a connection with the app there. At least you can rule out that option by testing and go by exclusion.
You can try, if not done already, the holy IT solution, after deactivating the Windows spell-check, make sure you restart your machine and hope for the best…
You can also have a look at this post where a user was having an issue with spell checking in the App as she was using the App in multiple languages. Maybe it sparks some ideas for testing, you can test the behaviour for instance on your browsers and see what happens there…
Thanks for the tips but none of them worked. I already had Windows spell check disabled and restarting made no difference. Also, disabling spell check in Chrome only fixed the issue if I access Asasa within Chrome, which is not the case (but I am considering it).
Of all the applications I use, Asana is the only one that highlights misspelled words. If this is not a feature of the app, who is injecting this feature in it? Is Windows ignoring its own settings and highlighting the words anyway?
Hi all, this is a great question. Thanks for flagging! I’m going to escalate it to our product team to investigate further. I’ll post an update here as soon as I have more information
Hi everyone, our Product Team has confirmed the language compatibility issue should be solved now. We don’t have immediate plans to implement an option to disable spellcheck directly from the Desktop app, but it’s something our team will consider in the future

I did not understand what this means. I am still seeing the highlight of misspelled words. Will the highlight only disappear when an option to disable spellcheck is implemented?
I’d use the browser version in your case as I can see how annoying this can become. I use the browser and app in parallel, and the browser has more features anyways. Maybe you can consider that hybrid approach too.
