It would be nice to have speller support for our own languages in Overleaf. The Overleaf speller code is here.

The idea would be to add a simple layer that calls our speller API. It needs at least three functions:

get list of supported languages
check word
get suggestions for word

An alternative approach would be that of LanguageTool, cf https://www.overleaf.com/blog/635-languagetool-a-free-browser-add-on-to-check-your-grammar-and-spelling

In general, there might be things to learn from LanguageTool, it integrates with a number of tools we don't (yet), cf https://languagetool.org/overleaf. We can't use their code directly though, as most of it is written in Java, cf https://github.com/languagetool-org/languagetool.
