Windows Spell Checker API Korean Language

Question

I am using Windows 10 Pro.

I have 5 languages installed on my laptop: English, French, Korean, Japanese, and Estonian.

I am trying to test the Windows Spell Checker API with MS Spell Checker, and when I print out the supported languages using get_SupportedLanguages(), it prints out every language EXCEPT for Korean.

For me, Korean is the most important language to my problem right now.

I've searched internet for possible answers, but didnt get anything that helped me.

I verified in Settings->Time & Language->Language that Basic Typing is installed with Korean.

I was wondering, is Korean not supported with Windows Spell Checker API?

Answer 1

Hi,
From following thread, it turned that if one language has been added and installed basic typing, it should be returned in the supported language.

I did some research as well and found there is no documentation confirming the supported languages of Microsoft spelling check API but only one sentence mentioned that:
For languages that are not supported by the Windows Spellcheck API, Microsoft Edge will fall back to Hunspell.
