# Spell Check (Tableau Cloud and Tableau Server Only)

As of Tableau 2024.2, you can use your web browser's built-in spell check functionality to identify spelling errors and find correct spelling suggestions on your text content on the following rich text authoring components in Tableau:

- Tooltips
- Captions
- Worksheet Titles
- Dashboard Titles
- Dashboard Descriptions
- Legend Titles
- Filter Control Titles
- Parameter Control Titles
- Annotations
- Highlighter Control Titles
- Page Control Titles
- Story Titles
- Story Descriptions
- Mark Labels
- Viz Alt Text
- Field Comments
- Edit Groups and Alias Dialog

When entering text in these rich authoring components, words that are identified as a possible spelling error will be flagged. For example, if you're using Google Chrome or Safari, the words are underlined with a red, squiggly line. You can right-click on the word and see a list of spelling suggestions from your web browser.

Spell check isn’t currently supported for Tableau attributes, such as creating custom field names using SQL elements.

As this feature is powered by your web browser, there may be slight variations in the appearance and spelling recommendations provided by the browser. If your text is being flagged incorrectly, you can add words to your web browser's local word library.

The web browser that you're using determines whether the feature is turned on and which languages are supported. If you'd like to turn off spell check, you can do it through your web browser's spell check settings.

## Supported browsers and languages

Tableau is available in the following languages: English (US), English (UK), Dutch, French (France), French (Canada), German, Italian, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Swedish, Japanese, Korean, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese and Thai.

Because this feature is powered by your web browser, be sure to check your browser's documentation to confirm that the browser supports spell check in your chosen language.
