Description
**Motivation**
It gets very annoying very quickly to see red squiggles under all non-English text I write in the chat window.
**Proposed solution**
Implement a toggle in settings that disables spellcheck.
**Alternatives considered**
Finding a client with a better UI.
**Additional context**
Look at pretty much any other chat client.

I searched existing issues and found nothing related.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the desktop settings UI and the chat window's spellcheck behavior. Add a settings toggle that disables spellcheck for chat text, then verify that changing the setting removes the red squiggles without affecting other chat functionality.
