| Polish (`pl`) | The Hunspell `pl_PL` dictionary installed on the system (OS package, Homebrew, LibreOffice, the folder set in File › Options › Proofing › Dictionaries folder, or `WORDCRAFT_DICTIONARIES`; not bundled, so no Polish spelling marks without it; the same pane shows which file each language found), read at runtime by a Hunspell-style affix engine (craft-proof [`src/affix.rs`](https://github.com/storytold/craft-libs/blob/main/crates/proof/src/affix.rs) in craft-libs); names capitalized, compounds part by part, `Kennedy'ego` | missing diacritics first (`zolw` → `żółw`), the dictionary's confusion table (`żeka` → `rzeka`, `chuśtawka` → `huśtawka`), missing space (`napewno` → `na pewno`), one typo, then a stem scan within two typos | Polish messages: repeated word, space before punctuation, double space, sentence capital (knows `np.`, `r.`, initials, ordinals, dialogue dashes), missing comma before `że`/`który`/`ponieważ`/`gdyż`/`aby`/`żeby`/`jeśli`/`jeżeli`/`gdyby`/`lecz` (not after `mimo`, `chyba`, `tak`, prepositions…), `we`/`ze` (`we wtorek`, `ze szkoły`), doubled punctuation | TeX Polish patterns (Kołodziejska, Jackowski, Ryćko; MIT option) with their 20 exception words; a Polish syllable heuristic for letters outside the alphabet |

| Czech (`cs`, `cs-CZ`, `ces`, `cze`) | The system Hunspell `cs_CZ` dictionary, read at runtime (Debian/Ubuntu: `hunspell-cs`; the same system, LibreOffice and `WORDCRAFT_DICTIONARIES` search paths as Polish). No dictionary data is bundled; without an installed dictionary spelling stays off | suggestions from the loaded dictionary's MAP/REP/TRY/KEY tables, missing spaces and a stem scan; short-word splits rank after deleting an extra letter; NOSUGGEST stems and their derived forms are accepted when typed but excluded from suggestions | Czech messages (including Czech quotation marks) for repeated words, space before punctuation and double spaces only; digit-space-colon-space-digit ratios keep their spaces; no Czech-specific grammar rules | existing English fallback, as for `Other`; no Czech patterns bundled (the TeX/LibreOffice Czech patterns are GPL-2) |
| Italian (`it`, any region) | The Hunspell `it_IT` dictionary installed on the system (same places as Polish and Portuguese; not bundled — the upstream file is GPL-licensed), read at runtime by the same affix engine; elided forms check the word after the apostrophe (`l'amico`, `un'idea`, `c'è`, `dov'è`, `senz'altro`), truncations keep their apostrophe (`po'`, `mo'`), hyphenated compounds part by part | missing accents first (`caffe` → `caffè`, `perche` → `perché`), the dictionary's confusion table, missing space (`perme` → `per me`), one typo, then an accent-folding stem scan | Italian messages: repeated word (emphatic doubles like `piano piano` are allowed), space before punctuation, double space, sentence capital (knows `ecc.`, `dott.`, `prof.`, initials, ordinals), doubled punctuation, `un pò` → `un po'`, `qual'è` → `qual è`, `E'` → `È`, `un'altro` → `un altro` and `un altra` → `un'altra` (gender from the ending, masculine `-ista`/`-ma`/`-cida`… left alone); these work without a dictionary; no comma rule | TeX Italian patterns (Beccari; MIT option), no exception words |
