Text editors with custom language dictionaries?

Hi! I've been using Notepad++ with user-languages to write easy-to-read stories for learners of Spanish. I load a frequency list as a user language, set the default font to red and the words in the list to black, and this way I can type away while always being aware if the words I'm using are high-frequency or not.

 

Since Notepad++ can only be used on Windows, I'm looking for alternatives for other platforms: MacOS and iOS, especifically. All I need is a text editor that allows me to create custom language dictionaries and gives me a way to highlight words outside each dictionary.

 

Thank you!

Hi, Davy. Thank you for your reply.

I believe so. I haven't used it in a while. But, does it allow you to create custom languages?
