Missing dictionary but all settings correct

[OldGoat]

I have my Affinity Designer language set for en-UK however, when I perform preflight I get "Missing dictionary for language (en-ZA).

I have changed my PC settings from English South Africa (en-ZA) to English UK but this has no effect

Anyone have a solution?

I don’t think Designer comes with an en-ZA dictionary as standard. You may need to install one if you need it. (Someone else may have more information on that.)

I’ve never seen this issue before as I only use English UK for a language but it might be possible that one or more Paragraph Styles and/or Character Styles styles have the language set differently to your machine or what you expect, see attached image. Might be worth checking to see if this is the case.

I had exactly this problem, except my missing dictionary was en-PT.

Walt Farrell's solution was the winner for me -

Try this:

1. Edit Base and change the language.

2. Click the hamburger icon for the Text Styles panel and then "Save Styles as Default".
