Hi Dominik, Thanks for your reply. It turned out I just lacked the aspell-en package. As Kate let me choose the language and didn’t complain I wrongly assumed it had the necessary packages installed. There is one issue in Kate spelling though: it frequently returns false negatives: words that it signals as misspelled but are correct, and are present in the dictionary. Pressing “Replace” does nothing and it does not advance to the next word. I can add it to the dictionary (although it is already there) and after that it is accepted. In addition to aspell-en I have aspell-no and aspell-de installed. And finally two notes regarding the installer: 1) it would be nice to see what languages each spell package supports in a tool-tip. I confused the -am and -uk packages for American and United Kingdom. 2) Individual packages cannot be de-installed; checking “Remove installed packages” removes everything. Thanks, Bastiaan.
