Can Firefox change the language for spell-check automatically when I change my input keyboard in Windows?

I am an American, studying French and Spanish, on Windows 8.1. For typing in web forms (and in any other program), I installed Windows keyboards for French and Spanish. Windows lets me switch between keyboards easily, by either (a) an icon in the system tray, or (b) the key combo Windows Key + Space Bar.
In Firefox I installed a spell checker for French and Spanish. Very nice.
But when I switch between languages, to get the correct spell checker I have to right-click in a text field, then go to Languages and select my current language. A minor inconvenience.
It would be nice for Firefox to detect which keyboard I am using and switch to the appropriate spell checker automatically. Is it possible please?
I keep the user interface for both Windows and Firefox in English always.

  • Can i change the dictionary for spell checking

    Hi,
    I am using the trial version of robo help and I am testing
    how the support for german is.
    I changed my project to german (file / project setings /
    language). The result up to now is, that there is german spell
    checking, but the dictionary used doesn't know all words that I' m
    using. Of course I can add word by word to the dictionory, but I
    dont't like to do this hard job.
    Is there a way to use the dictionary which MS Word is using,
    which would be very fine for me?
    If anyone can help me, thanks for this.
    Kindly regards
    Fritzj

    Hi all
    I did a bit of digging around and here is what I've
    discovered. Hopefully it will help?
    I am using Word 2003, so the method outlined here is for that
    version. Note that I'm not a particularly rabid Word user, as I
    tend to avoid it if at all possible, so I suppose other versions
    may differ. Additionally, I'm assuming here that you are referring
    to the personal dictionary and not one that is supplied by virtue
    of installing Word or some other component.
    In Word, I located the personal dictionary. (Tools >
    Options... > Spelling & Grammar tab > Custom
    Dictionaries... button) This listed the "Full path" of
    C:\...\Application Data\Microsoft\Proof\CUSTOM.DIC. I find this
    mildly amusing, as I can't truly see the "full path" and am left
    wondering what lies between C:\ and \Application Data. I mean, ...
    could be anything, no?
    So on a hunch, I looked in the following location:
    C:\Documents and Settings\Rick Stone\Application
    Data\Microsoft\Proof
    As luck would have it, there was CUSTOM.DIC all big as life
    and twice as natural.
    Suspecting it was a simple ASCII text file as the RoboHelp
    HTML personal dictionary is, I tried opening it using Windows
    Notepad. Sure enough, it popped open. Seems to simply list terms
    with no other information.
    So at this point, we know how to access the contents of the
    personal dictionary for Word 2003. Now let's look at RoboHelp HTML,
    shall we?
    In RoboHelp HTML, you click Tools > Spelling Options...
    > Dictionaries tab. Here, you should see Personal Dictionary.tlx
    listed in the left panel bearing the label of "Used dictionaries:"
    (Sorta sounds like a library sale, eh?) To the right of the file
    name, in the same pane, you should see the path listed. Mine reads:
    file://C:/Documents and Settings/Rick Stone/Application
    Data/eHelp/Lexicons/Personal Dictionary.tlx
    I opened it using Windows Notepad and here is what I see:
    #LID 30840
    1boffo i
    2xzxz azxzx
    3ppp ApPp
    4azx cxza
    5winnie CWiNnIe
    6garbo e
    I have some really odd terms in there. And for good reason!
    During my initial spelunking, it appears that a particular
    structure is in place. So I tested by adding terms along with
    different options for each term. The terms listed are matched to
    the option used when you click the Modify... button on the Spelling
    Options dialog.
    1boffo i
    1boffo is the term and the i means "No action" is the option
    used for the term.
    2xzxz azxzx
    2xzxz is the term and the a means "Auto Change" is the option
    used for the term. The zxzx following the a indicates the term to
    automatically change to.
    3ppp ApPp
    3ppp is the term and the A means "Auto Change (Preserve
    Case)" is the option used for the term. The pPp following the A
    indicates the term to automatically change to.
    4azx cxza
    4azx is the term and the c means "Change" is the option used
    for the term. The xza following the c inidicates the term to offer
    to change to.
    5winnie CWiNnIe
    5winnie is the term and the C means "Change (Preserve Case)
    is the option used for the term. The WINnie following the C
    indicates the term to offer to change to.
    6garbo e
    6garbo is the term and the e means "Treat as misspelled" is
    the option used for the term.
    Sooo, having looked all that over, it would seem as simple as
    copying the contents of the original Personal Dictionary from Word,
    then opening the Personal Dictionary from RoboHelp HTML and pasting
    the terms in. Then try modifying them a tad by inserting an "i"
    following the term. I'm not sure if a tab is what was used between
    the term and the i, so it may take a bit of trial and error.
    Hopefully this helps a bit... Rick

  • Quick change of language for spell check

    Hi everyone, I am a translator and use three languages on my MacBook Air and swap from one to another 100+ times a day. It's a bit annoying to change the spell check using right click, going to the grammar section, searching for the language... Is there a faster way to do it? Any shortcut? Or maybe I can create one. I cannot find this information and I'd appreciate any help.

    Nothing you can do in Safari as far as I know.
    In Pages 4 you can tag any section of text by language using Character Styles activated by keyboard shortcut.  Pages 5 is useless (unless you are writing in Arabic/Hebrew).
    Aside from Pages 4 you should use Word or LibreOffice where I am pretty sure you can also easily tag text by language.  For Word questions you need to go to

  • Change Language for Spell Checking in Mail

    Hi,
    as far as I could see from other articles here and on other sites, there is no easy way to change the language for spell checking in Mail. It's difficult to imagine that this is true, as in this global world switching from one to another language in different mails is (at least for non-US/UK/etc. users) an immanent need.
    Thanks for letting me know if I am mistaken.

    Tom Gewecke wrote:

    If what you are asking about is some kind of shortcut to avoid using the Edit menu, you are correct that nothing like that exists for Mail (or other Apple apps). I think if you use something like SpellCatcher you can switch via a single keystroke.
    The fastest method I know of is through AppleScript. I personally use "quick and dirty" routines for shifting from French to English and vice versa, both in Mail and Safari. Your typical toggle-switch bare-bones app looks like this:
    tell application "Mail"
    tell application "System Events"
    tell application process "Mail"
    set frontmost to true
    try
    click menu item "Show Spelling and Grammar" of menu "Spelling and Grammar" of menu item "Spelling and Grammar" of menu "Edit" of menu bar 1
    set fen to window "Spelling and Grammar"
    click pop up button 1 of fen
    set lemenu to menu 1 of pop up button 1 of fen
    if selected of menu item "Français" of lemenu is true then
    click menu item "British English" of lemenu
    else
    click menu item "Français" of lemenu
    end if
    click button 1 of fen
    on error
    beep 2
    end try
    end tell
    end tell
    end tell
    Nothing fancy here! Compile it, keep it handy (in the dock for example), and a single click does the switch for you. You can make endless variations on this, even make it look kind of smart, with dialogs and all that, thus defeating the purpose.
    AppleScript support is kind of sketchy so you have to use UI programming.
    Cheers,

  • German as standard-language for spell check

    How to set german as standard-language for spell check in safari?

    I use Windows, and it is exactly as you said, Sir Hup.
    I made the change, in the drop-down list in the dialog box, in my case from 'English' (which I have to assume is US English) to 'Australian English'.
    The problem I am encountering is that making that change doesn't stick for the browser as a whole, but only for the input box on the tab, the dialog box was opened on.
    How do I get the change to apply for spell checking in the browser as a whole?

  • How to edit the selectable languages for spell checking?

    Hallo Mozzila Community
    After using Firefox nightly 23 on Chakra Linux via bundle and I think it messed up my settings of the spell checker via Firefox sync.
    The Problem pop up on openSUSE and Chakra Linux but not In Kubuntu 12.04(it has separate language packs).
    I want to have German and English GB and maybe Bosnian or Croatian spell checker but I can not select it via right click -languages.
    Now I have on both Chakra Linux and openSUSE 12.3 Firefox 20 by default maybe 30 languages installed but I can not select the language I want.
    For example on Chakra Linux Firefox 20 I have only German variants selectable,German Luxenbourg,German Belgium ... and so and I can not select other language via add-on or about:config spellchecker.dictionary; it stay alwas on a German variant so I need to edit the right click language selector to bring it to work.
    2.Example on openSUSE can not select German and En_GB but I can select a bunch of other languages I do not need in the right click languages selctor.
    Both are Firefox 20 with openSUSE KDE modifications and have all available spell dictionary installed.
    So how can I edit the list of selectable languages on the right click-languages?

    There is a difference between language packs that affect the Firefox user interface and spell check dictionaries.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Language_packs
    At least one dictionary should be installed and have a check mark to indicate that it is selected.
    *Open the "Add Dictionaries" link to install a dictionary if you do not have one.
    *Make sure that [X] "Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu is check-marked.
    You can look here for dictionaries:
