How to Fix Missing Georgian Language Proofing Tools in Word for Mac
Question details
Users are unable to locate or use Georgian spelling and grammar checking tools within Microsoft Word on macOS.
- Product
- Microsoft Word for Mac
- Device & OS
- macOS
- Scenario
- Attempting to spell-check or grammar-check documents written in the Georgian language on a Mac.
- Observed behavior
- Georgian language proofing tools are either missing or unsupported in the Mac version of Microsoft Word, preventing automated spell checking for the language.
Ensure your macOS is fully updated and check your Mac's Font Book to confirm that Georgian fonts are properly installed on your system.
Verify Font Installation and Submit Feedback to Microsoft
Confirm macOS Georgian font support and use the Microsoft Feedback Portal to request official proofing tools for Word on Mac.
Microsoft Word for Mac may not natively support Georgian proofing tools, unlike the Windows version. Font availability and language features often vary by platform. If the tools are genuinely absent in your specific build of Microsoft 365, submitting feedback is the most direct way to alert the development team to this regional limitation.
Open the Font Book app on your Mac by using Spotlight search (Cmd + Space) and search for 'Georgian' to ensure the required fonts, such as Sylfaen, are installed.
Open Microsoft Word, go to 'Tools' in the top menu bar, select 'Language', and scroll through the list to see if Georgian is listed with a spell-check icon (an ABC checkmark). If there is no checkmark, the proofing tool is not installed.
Navigate to the Microsoft Feedback Portal online, sign in with your Microsoft account, select Word, and submit a feature request specifically asking for Georgian proofing tools on macOS.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are Georgian proofing tools available on Windows but not on Mac?
Microsoft often rolls out language features and proofing tools asynchronously across platforms. Word for Mac has historically had a different development cycle and architecture than Word for Windows, which occasionally leads to disparities in specific regional language support.
Can I download third-party Georgian proofing tools for Word on Mac?
Microsoft Word for Mac currently does not support installing custom third-party proofing dictionaries in the same way the Windows version does. Users must rely on officially supported languages provided through Office updates.
Does adding a Georgian keyboard automatically enable spell check in Word?
No, adding the Georgian input source in macOS System Settings allows you to type in Georgian characters, but it does not add grammar or spell-checking capabilities to Microsoft Word unless the application explicitly supports proofing for that language.
