What about catalan dictionary in Pages

To ask Apple to add new features, you can use

http://www.apple.com/feedback

Dictionaries are part of the OS and automatically available to all Apple apps.

In the meantime, for Catalan, you can try a 3rd party solution, as mention in this earlier discussion

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252599857

and

https://github.com/wooorm/dictionaries

Just to add… LibreOffice 7.2.4 Writer, on its Tools menu > Language > More Dictionaries online… has a Catalan spell checker that can be installed from that Extensions: Dictionary panel, or from the supporting website. It may or may not work with the mentioned version of LO 7.2.4, and may or may not be adaptable to Pages as a spell checker.

Have you chosen Catalan as a language in System Preferences > Language & Region?

You could also achieve this by choosing Catalan in System Preferences > Keyboard > Input Sources. This automatically adds Catalan as a language choice as above.

Also put a tick i the box saying 'Show input menu in menu bar'. From that menu bar item you can toggle between Catalan and English keyboard - and whatever else you choose. Bear in mind though that some keys may behave differently - you'll have to experiment with that yourself.

Now when you choose Catalan from the menu bar you will be typing in Catalan and can double click on a word, right click and find the definition and spelling.

I can't verify however if this will also work as an autocorrect tool. Try it and let us know.

Does this really work for you on your machine? As far as I know, Apple has never provided either a reference dictionary or a spellcheck dictionary for Catalan, so normally everyone has to download something from a 3rd party.

Wow, so easy, took me just a few seconds to add it to LO. A model for how these things should work.
