apt install collaboraoffice*de
Spelling dictionaries and thesauri
Collabora Online can use internal spelling dictionaries and thesauri (collaboraoffice*-dict-*
packages). Collabora Online can use system spelling dictionaries and thesauri, too, that are located in /usr/share/hunspell
and /usr/share/mythes
directories.
Additional, and starting with version 22.05, it’s possible to enable support for external grammar checking using LanguageTool. For information please consult Language Tool.
