PyCharm 2024.3 Help

Natural languages

PyCharm helps ensure your codebase is error-free and consistent not only in terms of correct programming languages syntax, but also in terms of proper grammar, spelling, and style. In addition to common text files like your project's README.md, it checks natural language consistency and correctness in your source files, including names of identifiers and variables, contents of string literals, comments, and even your commit messages.

Enable the Grazie Lite plugin

This functionality relies on the Grazie Lite plugin, which is bundled and enabled in PyCharm by default. If the relevant features are not available, make sure that you did not disable the plugin.

  1. Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open settings and then select Plugins.

  2. Open the Installed tab, find the Grazie Lite plugin, and select the checkbox next to the plugin name.

By default, PyCharm includes support for the English language. If you open a file with several paragraphs of text in another supported language, PyCharm will detect it and offer a suggestion to download and enable checks for that language. You can see the list of supported languages and enable them in the settings.

Add spelling and grammar checks for a language

  1. Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open settings and then select Editor | Natural Languages.

  2. Click the Add button in the list of languages and select your language.

PyCharm will download the language model and enable spelling and grammar checks for it.
