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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Is it possible to add languages for spell check in pages?

I was surprised to find that even though I bought iwork 09 in Norwegian, Norwegian is not on the list of languages one can choose from in the inspector, and I can not find the possibility of choosing norwegian spell-chek either??
Is there anyway to add languages to the spell-check function in pages??
grateful for tip (if there is a basic function i have overlooked) or other experiences!

You actually have a choice of both Norsk Nynorsk and Norsk Bokmål.
First select your text then:
+Inspector > Text (T tab) > More > Language > Norsk Nynorsk / Norsk Bokmål+
The method is to label the language you want to spell check with its native dictionary. So having done the above, when you spell check it will now use the Norwegian dictionaries.
see p 115 +Working with Spelling Suggestions+ in the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf downloadable from under the Help menu.
If you don't see the Norwegian options it is because you haven't added them in the International preferences in your System preferences:
+Menu > Finder > System Preferences… > International > Language > Edit List… > Norsk Nynorsk and Norsk Bokmål > OK+
If you drag them to the top of your language list they become the System language. If you leave them lower down they are available in other menus such as Pages Inspector palette.

Set language for spell check

iWeb marks all my Spanish text with red underlines. I see that when I click to check spelling it lets me change the dictionary to Spanish, but where can I set it to default to Spanish for this site?
I just found it works if I highlight the text and change the language input flag at the top of my screen, but a default for the site would be nice if there is one.
Message was edited by: richardlw

I;ll answer my own question. Whatever language I set the input flag to sets the spell check. Unfortunately it also changes the keyboard, so I have to guess at what is under the key. Note the ; instead of ´

How do I change the default language for spell-checker please?

I have seen the instructions below but cannot find the Personalization section?
I currently have a US English spell-checker, I need a UK English one.
Changing The Default Language
Make sure you are on your homescreen.
Tap on the Settings app to open the Settings App.
Scroll to the Personalization section.
Tap on Language.

Have just found that if you select Install Language Pack but then, do NOT download it, just below and to the right of "Download Now" is "View other versions".
Click on that and the second item is Version28.0
Hover your mouse on that and you get " + Add to Firefox" - so select that.

Use different language and Spell check

Hello, just got an iPad to supplement my two Android phones, and like it so far...
Except for one thing that drives me nuts...
The spell check. I live in Scandinavia, but like to use English as my interface language. This causes major problems, when I write something in Danish.
Is there any way to have English as the interface language, but use another language for spell checking?
Also, is there a way to use two different languages in spellcheck? Its really annoying to have English words pop up as suggestions when I write something in a different language and vice versa...

From a user perspective this is wrong UX and lacks total support for multi-national companies, especially when the (national) keyboard layout differs from the (foreign) keyboard layout that is being forced to use if one wants the spell check to be performed in the foreign languge.
Let's take the following example. My language settings are set to English because I want my interface in English. The used keyboard layout is Flemish (=Dutch) (AZERTY). When writing emails the spell check is performed in Dutch since iOS uses the keyboard related language. This is fine as long as I write emails to people in Belgium which do read and speak Dutch. However when I want to write English emails (and hence would like English spell check) I am forced to switch my keyboard to English (UK). This is not really OK as switching the keyboard messes up the layout I am used to work with (English -> QWERTY).
Essentially, the selected keyboard (and keyboard layout for that matter) shouldn't have any impact on the used language for the spelling check. To be honest I can't remember of any application/OS used so far that applies this logic.
I really do hope that this gets fixed in some way (e.g. by adding the option to select the spelling check language) in a future update of iOS.

How to use multiple languages at the same time for spell checking?

I use two different languages all the time and words are mostly so different (English and Finnish) that I could have spell checking on for both languages at the same time.
Now it seem to allow to select only one language at the time and I have to switch back and fort zillion of times per day.

Thanks for the quick answer.
The Dictionary Switcher doesn't seem to work with Finnish language, it doesn't detect it at all to be one of the choices although in the Firefox context menu Languages -> Finnish/Finland is shown.
Also, if it would work, I would need to get rid of multiple EN_* langauges. I just need EN_UK or EN_US, not all 22 different EN_*.
One option would be to create a custom dictionary, which would have words from both languages. The next task is then to find out how to make this kind of custom ENFI-dictionary, which would have words from both English and Finnish languages.
Finnish may be a some kind of special case for spell checking anyway, because the support is in its separate plugin:
http://voikko.sourceforge.net/

Trying to spell check email, I get this: "This language is no longer available for spell checking.

Firefox does automatically check my emails like it does when I use Word Perfect. When I select spell check, I get this message: "This language is no longer available for spell checking. Please check another in the spelling options box."
When I click on the spelling options box, I get the same message. I have never changed any settings as regards to spell checking

Which language is selected if you check that via the right-click context menu > Languages in a text area?
Is that dictionary still installed and enabled?

Language selection for spell check keeps reseting to "none"

On Macbook Air, OS X 10.7.2, Pages '09, the language selection for spell check resets to none as soon as I begin to type in the document

I need language dictionnaries for spell checking/correcting. I have firefox nightly v.27.0a1. Should I keep this version and wait or go back to classic firefox?

The French and Arabic dictionaries seem to be not compatible with firefox nightly. I have the latest version: 27.0a1. Will updates be made in the coming future to fix that?
Many thanks by advance!
A loyal firefox user.

Do you confirm that I should download and use firefox "classic" version instead of nightly to be able to install the French / Arabic dictionary add-ons for spell checking/correcting when writing in the browser?
