# Linux-Specific Issues

Supervertaler is Linux compatible, but Windows is the primary development platform.

### Spellcheck dictionaries

If spellcheck isn’t working, you may need to install Hunspell dictionaries for your language:

```bash
sudo apt install hunspell-en-us
```

If the dictionary package for your language exists, install it using the language code you need (for example `hunspell-de-de`, `hunspell-nl`, etc.).

### Stability tips

If you encounter instability:

* Disable spellcheck temporarily
* Disable semantic memory features temporarily
* Use a smaller project to isolate the issue

### Crashes / memory access violations

Some native dependencies (spellcheck backends, tokenization libraries) can crash the Python process on certain Linux setups.

If you see random crashes (segfaults) when interacting with the grid:

1. Disable spellcheck and restart
2. Retry on a smaller project

If that stabilizes the app, re-enable features one by one.
