Change spell check to UK English permanently AI CC

Can anyone please tell me how to change the spell check in Illustrator CC to check spelling using UK English spelling permanently.
So everytime I start a new document or even open an existing document and go Edit- Check Spelling it will check the spelling as UK English not USA English?
Thanks in advance

Yes thank you very much Monika,
Editing the Default Character Stlye did it!

Mac Mail: change spell checking to UK english?

I want my spelling to be UK english: colour not color, aluminium not aluminum, etc. As I type this now, the UK spellings are underlined in red, so its not just mac mail that needs adjusting. I've searched system preferences, but can't find a resolution. Probably staring me in the face, but help needed please.
Thanks in advance.

In system preferences, under the international tab, on the input menu, have you checked 'British'?

I can't change the spell check to UK English

On a Mac with an existing CS6 InDesign document, I have tried everything to change the spell check to use a UK language, e.g., I want "programme", not "program".
1. Before I open the document, I have selected InDesign/Preferences/Dictionary and changed to English: UK language.
2. Once the document is opened:
- I have changed all the paragraph styles (Advanced Character Formats) to English: UK language;
- I have no Character Styles so nothing to change there;
- I have gone to Edit/Spelling/User Dictionary and changed language to English: UK.
When I open Edit/Spelling/Check Spelling, the language is set to English: UK. But when I start to spell check, it doesn't pick up any of the words that I know need changing for UK English (i.e., programme, not program)!
Help! What else can I do?

The Australian dictionary is just the British Dictionary renamed, it doesn't recognise any Aussie words that aren't included in the British version.
Don't know why Apple even bothered except to pat us on the head and pretend they cared.
Languages btw are applied like any other style like bold or color or font. You select the text you want to be something and apply the Language.

Global way to change spell check language in FM10?

Hi, all,
I'm learning FM 10 and trying to figure out if there's a way to change the spell-check language for an entire document or book at once (from English to Spanish, for instance) rather than going through the paragraph designer for each paragraph tag catergory.
Thanks,
Casey B

Casey,
You can do this through the Paragraph Designer:
1. In the Paragraph Designer go to the Fonts tab.
2. Press Shift+F8 to set everything to "As Is".
3. Set the Language option to what you want.
4. Click on the Commands button in the lower left and select "Global Update Opttions"
5. Select "Default Font Properties Only" in the" Use Properties in the Paragraph Designer" option at the top,
6. Select "All Paragraphs and Catalog Entries" in the "Update Paragraph Formats" in the bottom half of the panel.
7. Click on the "Update" button to change all the language settings.
It's best to do this in a template and then import the revised tempalte to all of the documents that require the updated language.
Note: this technique can globally change any paragraph property for all tags. It also works the same way for Charcter tags.

Change Spell Check language according to keyboard selected

Hi,
Is there a way to have spell check automatically change its language according to which keyboard is selected from the international menulet? This would seem to be logical...

I've been thinking about the same thing. How hard would it be to enable that?
Just recently I finally figured out how to install and use dictionaries with cocoAspell, the ones not available under Leopard. That was a huge step forward, but now that I can, I don't want to have to keep changing between languages. I'd love the spell checker setting to have an option to follow the keyboard layout, or be able to set shortcuts for languages. Or something.

Change spell checker language

just moved to Norway, and for school, I'll have to right stuff in norwegian. I found no way to change the language for the spell checker in Pages, Text Edit, and other programs. Is there a way to do this?

just tried it and it works how it's supposed to I guess, but Norwegian is not an option for the spell checker,
Sorry about that, forgot that for Norwegian you need to install Cocoaspell:

and changing system prefs. just changes my keyboard layout…
You change system prefs/international/languages (not input menu).

I had selected Gujarati spell check instead of English. How can i redress.

In the email seciton when I tapped spell check icon, I was given a choice and through error I clicked onGujarati(which is an Indian language). Now all my work in Englsih in the email shows red underscore wavy lines. Also I cannot use spell check facilty for the English language. How can I address this problem?

At the app level, you can set the dictionary via Edit > Spelliing and Grammar > Show Spelling and Grammar
At the system level, you set it at system preferences/keyboard/text/spelling (or maybe system preferences/language & region/text/spelling).

Changing spell check language

If I select the text I need to check the Character panel shows the proper language, but once I deselect it changes to the default 'English: USA'. With that, check spelling simply doesn't work because it assumes the default only.
How on earth can I perform this simple task?!
Thanks

Thanks Monika for your reply.
So according to what you say language is a document attribute (not character), which is absurd since it makes impossible to deal with more than one language in the same doc.
I guess an external application is required then. Bad!

Is there a way for the basic ENGLISH spell check dictionary to auto update? Its really annoying to have to update the spellcheck dictionary everytime FF updates

Every time FF updates, it forces me to download and install the spell check dictionary for English. It makes me just choose to use another browser since more often than not its opening facebook and I like spell check when I use fb. Is there any solution?

What Firefox locale do you use?
Is that the en-US version or another locale like the French locale?
You shouldn't lose installed dictionaries and other installed extensions when you update Firefox unless you would reset Firefox or a new profile got created for other reasons like problem with the profiles.ini file.
Are there otherwise problems with updating that you notice?
Note that in case you do not need all four French dictionaries then you can remove others and only keep the ones you need.
You can find the dictionary files in the dictionaries folder of the extension in the extensions folder in the Firefox profile folder or possibly in the Firefox program folder if you use a French Firefox locale (don't know if that locale includes a dictionary).

You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)

Word:mac 2008 spell check

Every time I write specifically spelled words correctly in uk english it underlines it in red, indicating I should spell it the us way. Anyone know how to change the spell check to uk english only?
Thanks

I also have the mail spell check set to "Check Spelling While Typing" which gives me a red line while I type but when I click on "Show Spelling and Grammar" it always starts from the bottom and not as I type from the top.

Many spell-checking languages

Hi,
Is it possible to install many languages in spell-checker? I am writing both in English and Polish and need to be able to change spell-checking quickly like I used to do with Chrome or Firefox.

system prefs/language & text/text/spelling Go to setup at the bottom of the menu and check the appropriate boxes.
Whether this will work the way you want you will just have to try for yourself.

Hi,
It seems to be an Office related issue, I suggest asking the question in Office forums for help.

Hi,
As the log, MSGR2CZ.DLL and wwlib.dll were both of the Microsoft libraries,not the third-party libraries. Thus, we need to analysis what happened with the dump file. But, it is beyond what we can do in the forum. I recommend you open a ticket with Microsoft
engineer.

Safari Spell Check Language??

The spell check in my Safari keeps changing words to their British spelling (ie recognize = recognise etc). How does one change the spell check to American English? I like having spell check/autocorrect in Safari, but not when it miscorrects my spelling...
