Description

### Search first

- [x] I searched and no similar issues were found

### What Happened?

I disabled the spell checker in the settings, but it is still marking every single word i write as wrong.

The spell checker assumes englisch, but i write in german. It does not make a difference when i set the app language to german.

### Reproduce the Bug

0. have spell checker disabled
1. write german text. e.g. "Hier teste ich die Rechtschreibprüfung."

### Expected Behavior

Disabling settings should really disable the feature.

### Screenshots

### Desktop or Mobile Platform Information

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in the Logseq AppImage on NixOS with the spell checker disabled, using the German example text from the report. Trace the spell-checking entry point and settings path, then verify that disabled settings prevent markings and that changing the app language is not required.
