Any plans to expand to Spanish?

I use this plugin on Obsidian, and I must say it is impressive. I would be interested to know whether the developer has considered expanding the corrector to other languages, such as Spanish.

They've expressed not planning to implement it themselves but a willingness to accept a PR that implements it.

Also, here's a related question in the FAQ.

I started playing around with what would be needed last night. I'm conversational but not fluent in Spanish but not around Spanish speaking people at the moment. If anyone else wants to hack on it with me I'll publish a branch and I'm often on the Discord.

So far I'm looking at minimum viable changes. English dictionary and affix rules still built-in, others loaded at runtime with parallel files with -es filename suffixes. Also a parallel directory for linters, should be easy enough starting with 0 linters.

I haven't looked into splitting the tests or interfacing with the LSP or harperjs or any of the extensions/addons yet.

But I'm working on other stuff at the same time of course so don't expect anything to appear soonish.

If you're a rust programmer you can look at the Spanish branch in my fork.
I'm not working on it once I got it to the point of building and passing all the English tests.
I realized that it's loading the Spanish dictionary and affix files over and over because I added them alongside the statically included English files but loaded off disk.

I'll give a look on it, and try to make any advances from where you left

If you have any questions feel free to ask while it's still fresh in my mind. I might try to sync it with master today.

I am not programming in Rust, but I can help with the Spanish language. I am a native speaker.

Thinking the same problem for French, German, and more! How hard would it be to absorb all the simple rules from LanguageTool (and some of the forking attempts) such that other languages are included? https://github.com/TiagoSantos81/libregrammar
