Bing Spell Check API return only British English

Is it possible to configure the Spell Check API to return only British English results?

I am already specifying the mkt and setLang parameters to en-gb however this doesn't appear to make any difference

An example is "coloor", I'd expect the API to return "colour", however I'm getting "color" every time

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi, I just confirmed with the product team, SpellCheck API with Proof mode is not supported in en-GB market.

Thank you for your response @GiftA-MSFT , I have tried the query in both proof and spell modes, both return the US English results

This is by design. Spellcheck is to correct typo to valid term (meaningful) instead of legal/formal term. In en-GB, both color and colour are valid. So speller will select the term with highest translation probability. In this case, “coloor” is more likely to be altered to “color”. If you change the query to “coloour”, speller suggests to “colour”. Similar for case “analyzee”. Hope this helps!
