American English to English English?
I'm getting a little frustrated with having to respell everything in my documents that is spell checked in an American English format i.e. organization/organisation pediatrics/paediatrics.
I'm sure it is simple to do but can anyone tell me how to change my spell checker from American to English?
Thanks
Use the Edit button to put British English at the top of the list in system prefs/international/language. Also check Inspector > Text > More > Language to be sure it says British English.

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, -
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.

Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Afzal.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.
Regards,
Afzal. -
How do I change the language in Pages from American English to Finnish?

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.blakkas wrote:
This was already set to Australian English. See my first picture attached in original post.
Sorry, missed that.

Perhaps try setting up a new user account and see if the problem persists when you are logged into that. -

I bought my computer on Ecuador, so it is in spanish the physical keybord, but after updating to Mavericks and updating Pages, each time I write something it corrects me to british language, for example if i write down analyze with a z, it would correct me and change the z to an s because of the language, please help.
Menu > Apple > System Preferences > Language & Text > Language > drag English to the top of the list
"English" according to Apple is what everyone else would call American English.

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,
Mikemyce,
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. -

Firefox 4 has lost numerous bookmarks, including an entire folder, and because Organize Bookmarks has disappeared from the Bookmarks drop-down list, a requirement for restoring Bookmarks from my Profile (as I understand it), I would like to go back to 3.6.16. The one list I found has only 4.0 available as a download for American English, Mac OS X. How do I download 3.6.16?
This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

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. -
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.

I am in Korea on Business and do not speak the language. I am an American and all of my settings on my computer and browser reflect this. However whenever I type in www.google.com I am automatically redirected to http://www.google.co.kr/. When I do a search from here it is in Hangul and I don't understand it. How can I get all pages to display in English? Is there an automatic translator that does this?
Thank you I am now more educated about Google, and the intricacies of being in other parts of the world. This solution proved perfect and I set my homepage to reflect the "/ncr" which works perfectly.

Then direct your ire at dalstott for labelling some languages as imperfect, misspelled, mispronounced, untrue/false.
I am only wanting to be recognised as English because I was born and live in England and do not want to have my language "English" redefined.
You just want "English" to be your English and you want it on top, where it belongs. Isn't that right? The fact that the MacOS X spelling system actually doesn't have any plain "English" setting is apparently irrelevant. Each dialect is labeled as "Australian", "British", "Canadian", and "U.S.".
You may label you own version using whatever label you care to use.
I do and I (and the MacOS X spelling panel) call it "Canadian English".
