Controlling language for spelling check in Keynote on iPad

Hello,
I use Keynote on my iPad. The iPad is configured to use Russian UI. However, I would like to create a presentation in English. The spellchecker marks every English word as misspelled.
I could not find any way to tell the spellchecker to use English. I don't want to revert to the overall English UI on the iPad.
Any ideas on what can be done?
A.B.

Sigh i have been using THE iPad for several days now,
And why shoukd i neef to change à keyboard setting to change my local??????

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.

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 download and install Greek language auto spelling check on SO8

I Tried to trace "Greek language platform directory" for auto spelling check,on Star Office 8, but I failed.
Greek language is available as a spelling option tool but not installed, on Star Office 8.(Writer)
__How I can download_ and install it as an add-on.??_
Can you help me please.
Thanks,Regards,
altkon

You can do this in all kinds of ways.
The most easy way is to download it with your pc, and use sftp to upload it to the linux machine.
(winscp can help you with getting it on the linux machine, http://winscp.net)
Which XE version you'll need depends on the version of linux (rpm or deb)
Just read the installation manual at the oracle express edition download page. SSH suffices for configuration after the installation.

Change language for Grammar Check

Hi folks,
How do I change the language for the grammar check? Manchmal schreibe ich auf Deutsch ou en Français and in these cases I would really appreciate the grammar checking.
MS Word (on Windows anyway) will even detect the language being written after about three words or so and switch. Can I get this on the Mac (the behavior, not MS Word)?
Thanks!
Regards / mit Freundlichen Grüßen / Cordialement,
Eric

Hi Tom,
thanks for your reply. I suppose I can use Word & Entourage for mail & that will give me the builtin grammar checking à là windows. I was hoping for a more indigenous solution but this will do fine.
Of course, I could always endeavor to improve my German and French grammar, but that's another story!!!
Kind regards,
Eric

Switching language for "Spelling while you type" feature

In the Swedish help pages (could not find in english version) it clearly states that you should go the the "text inspector", choose "more" and change language. There is no "more" tab in the text inspector for keynote, it is in pages. Please fix this!
I do presentations in both swedish and english, I need this feature bad!!!

There is no "more" tab in the text inspector for keynote, it is in pages.
In Keynote and other other apps the spelling feature is in Edit > Spelling and Grammar. Only in Pages is it in the Inspector.

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:

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!
BR

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 ´

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

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.

InDesign CS5.5 doesn't honor original Language (for spelling)

I'm using InDesign CS5.5 and always import .DOC and .RTF files. The default language in the "character" tab is Spanish. So is the default paragraph style. However, most of the times I import these files they are placed with English, Estonian, Croatian, etc., etc., etc. I have to change it almost in 90% of the files I place. And if I place the same file more than one time, it get placed with different languages every time. I've cheked the original .DOC and RTF files and are in Spanish dictionary.
Is that a bug? Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,
Diego
InDesign CS55 / Windows XP

I also override all styles when applying. The only thing, so far, that doesn't work is the language.
I placed that file into CS5.5 and it comes in with English in the Normal style. The Normal style in Word is also defined as English. Something is very wrong, here. You can define the language in the InDesign paragraph style, so if you clear the overrides then it must-by-definition have the language you specified. You say it's not, so something is wrong with either your INDD files or your install of InDesign. I don't see any of the funky language-redefinition behavior when I place your Word file into ID. The Normal style declares it to be English - I clear overrides and the text gets marked with English.
If this happens to you in a new InDesign file, I'd say that you should try replacing your preferences, reinstalling, that kind of thing. If you are working with templates or re-using INDDs, you may try exporting to IDML and re-opening in CS5.5.
