I’m a big fan of Sublime Text. I always write documents using LaTeX and Sublime Text. I know how to write in almost a perfect French, but everybody can do a spelling mistake sometimes. I was tired to enable “Spell check” and to select the french dictionary everytime I had to open a .tex file. So I asked myself:

Is there a way to always enable spell check with a french dictionnary for every .tex file I open?

The answer is yes! Here is how to do it.

Open a .tex file. Go to Preferences -> Settings – More -> Syntax Specific – User and put this inside:

Do not forget to change the location of your dictionary! Save this file and start typing without making mistakes

Adding dictionaries

Additional dictionaries can be found on the Sublime Text Github’s repository here: https://github.com/SublimeText/Dictionaries. If you want a new language, create a new package (that is to say a folder), and put language.dic and language.aff inside this folder. You will be able to select this language after that.
