American English not a dictionary option?!

Hi
I'm new to iWork and trying to do simple things. But I can't find American English as an option for the dictionary! I am a Brit in France producing a big document for an American audience. So ideally I want British English as my default on the computer but American English for iPages (or at least for this document). Can anyone help?

In Inspector > Text > More > Language you need to set it to English.

Appleworks Format "English" not American

My 6.2.9 contains English dictionary spellings, not American. And measurements in documents are in metric, not inches. How to change? Cannot find a "North American English" reference in Essentials or elsewhere as I saw I should choose in an answer by Peggy for someone who wound up with Danish and needed American English.
Thanks ...

New iMacs don't come with Appleworks, had to buy it separately. Did so, disk is 6.2.9. Installation does offer US & Canadian English vs. International English. I tried re-installing with US&C English just to make sure I hadn't mistakenly chosen International first time but this didn't change anything. Then I tried going to Apple Downloads but only 6.2.9 "upgrade" is available. Tried downloading this and installing but my system says it "can't find anything to upgrade" - presumably because I already have 6.2.9.
So problem remains unresolved. Any other thoughts?

How can I get an american english option?

How can I get an american english option in the inspector?
I get all kind of english:
Australian English
Canadian English
British English
and normal English.
I would need the American English option.
Thanks,
Daniel

Apple's conceit is that English = American English.
The rest of us are just getting it wrong.

Check marks not showing in "options" spell check not working at all.

I am using the latest but not greatest version which is 13. The spell check feature is not working at all. It works in FF 3.6.28 when I remove this great upgrade but of course I always get the standard ,"your version of Firefox is outdated"
The check marks in the option tabs do not show at all. I have to guess if I have something checked or not.
I have I think the dictionary installed. I went to the add on page for American English and added it. It said it did but when I look at my add on list it does not show.
I like Firfox I really do, but I may have to completely delete it and relunctantly use Chrome, because spell check works in it.
It works in Safari, it works in IE, It works everwhere except FF13.

* You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu.
* 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 enable or disable spell checking globally:
* Tools > Options > Advanced : General: Browsing: "Check my spelling as I type"

Need an English-to-Bengali dictionary

Hi all I am new to this community. I am a student from Bangladesh and currently studying in England. During my studies, I come across various words in English that I am not familiar with and require a Bengali dictionary to help me understand those words. As you know, there aren't any English-to-Bengali dictionary out there, and so in this regard people like me are stuck whenever I come across those difficult and hard to understand words in English. I don't know, why a language, being the fifth largest spoken language in the world, has no support from the developers. Many people from Bangladesh (and people like me living or studying abroad) are now owning a macbook or own a macbook already and I believe an English-to-Bengali dictionary (or a downloadable extension to the current dictionary app) should be made available to the macbook for Bengali speaking users. Apple has listened to us in providing Bengali keyboard as an option in their latest software update. Hopefully they will listen to our request this time around as well. Thank you...

For Apple to see your request, best repeat it at

Wrong English spell-checking dictionary

So I didn’t install the OS on my new MacBook Pro and it has the wrong spell-checking dictionary - ie US-English and not English-English. I have no idea why. How do I sort this so I can labour and not labor, colour and not color?
And while I’m at it, can I move the user dictionary from my old PB [OS 10.4.11] to this 10.5.8 machine?

Go to system prefs/international/languages and move British English to the top of the list (use the Edit button if necessary).
Yeah. It was the first place I looked. The /languages says ‘English’ - not British-English or US-English. Just ‘English’. There are no options.
Also you can select British English in Edit > Spelling for each app (Inspector > Text > More > Language in Pages).

11.5.10.2 -12.1.1 Upgrade- American English patch driver taking long time

Hi,
I have performed test upgrade from 11.5.10.2 to 12.1.1.It was successful.
The American English Upgrade patch driver had taken 20 hours time to complete.
Now i am doing a second test run by following the same steps, but now the same patch is taking long time. It is running from past 24 hours.
And still 54000 jobs to complete.
The main difference between my two test runs is
1.For first instance both database and apps are in one server. (single node)
2.For this new test instance, we have database running one server and 12.1.1 file system on another server.
Will it make any difference? How can i diagnose the issue?
The patch log is not showing any errors, but taking long time to complete.
Thanks,

Hi,
From m note 12.1.1 UPGRADE FROM 11.5.10.2 VERY SLOW XDOLOADER TASK HANGS [ID 1065393.1],
after changing mv /dev/random /dev/random_bak
ln -s /dev/urandom /dev/random
do i need to reboot the server?
After this can i continue the previous session of the patch? or start new session?
Thanks,

How to submit request with default language as 'American English' in other non-english language sessions.

Dear All,
Kindly suggest how to submit request with default language as 'American English' in other language sessions (Ex: Arabic).
R12: 12.1.3
The issue is we created function using 'arabic' text in it, which runs perfect in the english session, but doesnt gets value in the arabic session.
So we decided to make the submit request with default language as 'American English'.
Below is the function. Kindly note that SEGMENT1 is not linked to any valueset.

Dear All,
I found the solution for the above function.
In the same function I removed the static arabic values replacing with code values from the value set.
In my scenario there is a value set where some of these values exists, and other we can add there.
Kindly let me know if someone was successful by using the arabic text in the coding and defaulting the language in conc prog as English.
Thanks a lot.

Afzal.

BB is not giving me option to send but only save in draft.

I have a BB Curver 8300. Some mails when try to reply, BB is not giving me option to send but only save in draft.
I tried deleting Service book and resending it is not working..
I took backup and then Wiped the Handel, restored the backup. Still no luck..
Pl advice. Thx
My carrier is LoopMobile

Only some mail? Most likely that email not giving you that option was enabled by the service book(s) you deleted.
Try sending your Service Books again.
On your BlackBerry device, go to:
1. Options > Advanced > Host Routing Table > Menu > Register.
2. Resend your service books from your carrier BIS site:
From your handheld device:   http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB15402
Go to the Personal Email Set Up icon and log in. Then under Help!, select Service Books, then select Send service Books.
From your desktop PC: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB02830
North American Carriers - scroll down to select your carrier
WorldWide Carriers - Find your carrier on the list
3. With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot. This reboot, even if you have already done this, is often needed to install the service books.

System Spell Checker 'stuck' on American English

Hi,
Running OS X 10.8.3.
I have my language settings set to Australian English. How ever, when typing in system applications such as Mail, or Notes, the OS X System Spell checker is spell checking based on American English.
For example;
when typing an email, it picks up the word "colour" as being spelt incorrectly (with the squiggly red line under the word).
Amerian English = Color
Australian English = Colour
Please see attached pics where i have Australian English set.
Trouble Shooting I have tried;
• verifying & repairing priveliges
• resetting P-RAM
• change language to American English, restarting, setting to Australian English, restarting
Spoke to AppleCare, they basically ended up telling me to re-install the OS.
Any input or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

This was already set to Australian English. See my first picture attached in original post.
Sorry, missed that.
I can't duplicate your problem:
Perhaps try setting up a new user account and see if the problem persists when you are logged into that.

Difference International English/North American English

When I recently re-installed Mac OS 9 and downloaded the updates, I wondered (again) what's the difference between the International English and North American English versions. Are there just some spelling differences? Or are there other changes as well? Encryption software that may not be exported, or something along that line?
Regards,
Mike

myce,
I did pick up an OS9.2.1 retail CD when in the US a few years ago (as I didn't have an OS9.2.1 retail CD at home in the UK - my PBG4 came with OS9.1 and my PMG4 with OS9.2.2). Installed it on my old PBG3 when I got home and found it to be a lot more different that just keyboard layouts. Too different from the International English version for me to want to stick with it, I reinstalled OS8.6 on the PBG3.
Don't ask me about other differences, it had a totally different "feel" about it, and it wasn't on long enough for me to document what was different. I do remember that all my OS update downloads wouldn't work, ie. my International English OS9.2.2 was useless.

Why do Americans think that American English is English?

Hi, I've managed to change my basic English to British English (I am in Australia and it's the closest). Why does my iphone still think that British English spells organisation with a z?? This really annoys me, I'm not American and don't use American English.

I have no problem with that, I believe the closest to the original 18th Century English is in Nova Scotia which is close to 18th Century Cornish (I seem to remember). .
English has always changed rapidly, that is a strength of the Language, however that is not the issue here.
The issue is that in England, the English are referred to as English and sometimes as British but never as British-English. It does not seem unreasonable to be able to call your own language by its name withou an externally enforced label.
We don't distinguish French as spoken in France (as opposed to Canada or various African nations) be referring to it is "Francais Francais". It is just Francais because that is what they speak in France.

Japanese-English SAP terms dictionary

Do any of you maintain some sort of SAP English-Japanese terms dictionary?
Does SAP provide this?
We are working on Japanese documents and find it difficult to map it to standard SAP terms so we have difficulties in understanding.
Some thing like Sales Area, Purchasing Organization should have their counterpart in Japanese.
Thanks

Hi,
Not sure if SAP has this or not but you can try translator from google.com
