[NOTE]
====
If a user selects a language from the Spell Checker language toolbar dropdown, that selection is saved to the browser's local storage and takes precedence over the `+spellchecker_language+` configuration option. The local storage value persists across browser sessions and will continue to override the configured setting.

*Debugging language issues:*

* To check the current active language for the specific device, use the browser console: `+tinymce.activeEditor.plugins.tinymcespellchecker.getLanguage()+`
* If integrators or users are having issues with the `+spellchecker_language+` option not being respected, they can:

. Open browser developer tools (F12)
. Go to the Console tab
. Run `+localStorage.clear()+` to clear all local storage
. Refresh the page to reinitialize the editor

For more information about localStorage, see link:https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Storage/clear[MDN Web Docs].
