Help disabling “Possible spelling mistake found” in vimtex

Hi everyone,
could someone help a desperate student to turn off the ‘Possible spelling mistake found’ in LaTeX files with the vimtex plugin. It’s been 3h now and I still dont have any idea on how to turn this off (or at least change the language, but knowing how to do both would be really cool). I tried everything I could, still don’t kow where this is from.
Help would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

    Here is the solution in case someone came across this post in the future.To set the language of your LaTeX file, put :

    \usepackage\[french]{babel}

    and download the texlive-lang package corresponding :

    sudo pacman -S texlive-lang

      Glad you got it resolved! (Especially as, while I noted in my earlier reply, I don’t use LaTeX currently, but I’m planning on switching over from asciidoc in the near future for reports and notes and occasionally I do need to write in French!)
