Perhaps you could try to start like this:

I’m not sure, but have you tried the `lang` attribute?

Referring to the linked topic thread, we see that this will not work …

> _You can change the language using `setAttribute('lang', lang)` but Chrome **doesn’t** use the `lang` attribute for spellcheck. [**This**](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=389498) is a **won’t fix** issue [for Chromium]._
The post goes on to explain that the choice of spellcheck language is an end-user right click context menu feature. Users can create multiple custom spellcheck dictionaries and switch between them at will.
The post author also shows in his example the use of the global “[spellcheck](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Global_attributes/spellcheck)” HTML attribute.
Lastly he gives links to 3rd party libraries for spellchecking …

Sorry for the late reply. I’m on MAC and i’m not able to reproduce the problème on it. I will check it as soon as possible.
