[Github-comments] [geany/geany-plugins] Spellcheck on Windows: The Enchant library couldn't be initialized (unknown error(maybe the chosen language is not available)) (#939)

Trying to set up Geany on my home computer and the Spellcheck plugin is refusing to work.

It comes up with "The Enchant library couldn't be initialized (unknown error(maybe the chosen language is not available))."

When I go into the plugin's preferences the "Language to us" field is empty and I can't change it.

I have tried setting the "Directory to look for" path to blank, C:\dictionaries\hunspell, C:\Program Files\LibreOffice\share\extensions\dict-en, C:\Program Files (x86)\Geany\hunspell and C:\Program Files (x86)\Geany\hunspell\dict-en and nothing works.

The Spellcheck menu option remains greyed out and the Enchant library error appears when toggling the plugin or applying the settings.

I have installed enchant_1.5.0-2_win32.zip over the Geany package as suggested on the portable version's site and the only change is that the menu entry is no longer greyed out and there is a "Default (en)" option listed there.

The plugin still doesn't work and interacting with the plugin via the Plugin Manager or plugin Preferences brings up the same error.
