Daniele,

 

The version of CKEditor used in 8.5.3 is 3.5(.x). I recently needed a feature in the 3.6 release (readOnly) so I downloaded the latest CKEditor version and stored it in the domino/html folder on my server. In that version I could easily activaty the spell check option (scayt). The code needed to load a custom CKeditor version and enable the spell check option can be found below.

 

I did a quick test using the embedded CKEditor release (adding scayt_autoStartup and changing the disableNativeSpellChecker parameters in the config.js file), but wasn't able to activate it.
