10.6.9: add a word to dictionary doesn't work (German language)

[stocky2605 401]

@Shane D.unfortunately I'm still having a lot of red dots in my text - no chance to add a word to the dictionary, menu item missing (see attached snapshots)

If I misspell an english word I see a menu item ("Rechtschreibung lernen" -> add to dictionary) - so it seems this is a non-English problem only?

 

Update: it seems the problem only occurs if a word is completely unknown (no similar word found) - if I misspell a known German word then I've the option to add it to dictionary (bug or works as designed?)

It's the same in the 10.6.9 Dutch version.

Same with medical terminology. Weird to have an option to "add to dictionary" only if the word is somehow recognized by the dictionary...LOL. Also, I can't even find "add to dictionary" anywhere. I can only tell it to "learn spelling".

I've got the same problem with 10.21.5 (Mac Version)

Does anyone got an idea how to get de Button "Rechtschreibung lernen" with unknown words?

It shows if it detects a word as misspelled.

It does not show when it finds nothing misspelled. Sort of minor bug, probably.
