How do you change the Spell Check language

I have a question, how do you change the spell check language so that it spell checks in a different language... such as French?

Here is a copy of an e-mail that I sent to Yvan asking about this (translated from French):
+Hello Yvan,+
+I saw your answer SirCram's message (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7526551&#7526551) in which you showed a dialogue box called "text"+
+Sadly, I have only recently started using a Mac (and I am therefore unfamiliar with Pages) so I find no way to open said box.+
+Could you please make me a list of instructions or show me an Apple Support page that would assist this recent Mac convert in learning this simple action?+
+Thank-you in advance,+
+Jean-Paul J+

How do you alter the spell check on an iPad?

I type my name or email and it always suggests something else. I want to add the new word so that it doesn't "correct" it again!

The system setting for spell check ... go to Settings>General>Keyboard>Check Spelling. You have to keep Auto-Correction enabled to turn Spell Check on, but you can turn spell check off and leave Auto-Correction on.
However, in your case, you want to disable Auto Correction because that is what keeps trying to correct what you are typing.
The way the system is designed to work is that if you keep rejecting the "suggested" spelling of the iPad's auto correct by pressing the X in the blue suggested word, the iPad should eventually learn your word.

How do you change the language in iPad Pages?

How do you change the language in iPad Pages? I tried lookin for it but I can't find it.

What a lot of confusion in this discussion!
The language of a text is a property of the text itself. If the keyboard or the language of the OS of the computer is changes afterwards, the language of the text remains what it was.
Only at the moment when text is typed the keyboard settings may be used to identify the language. If you are able to imagine a text composed of sentences in different languages you should be able to understand this.
Changing the keyboard in order to change the spellckeck only works at the moment of typing. With texts written earlier it is meaningless.
When I import a document written in German on my Mac to my iPhone and iPad, Pages on iPhone and iPad do niot recognise that the text is German. The spelling checker underlines everything. And what people complain about here is that we do not find the place where to tell Pages that the existing, imported text is written in a certain language.
Please stop mixing this up with keyboard issues!

How do you change the language of the apple tv for netflix

How do you change the language of Netflix in apple tv?

Ok, I figured out whats the problem. I configured Netflix on my smart TV (LG 47LW6500) and gives me the option to choose audio and subtitles. Then configured my preference on the Netflix web page and set default audio to english. And it is actually working with an exception, the default audio will be english unless there is an other language that has better audio, for example, if the movie has 3 languages English (Stereo), Spanish (Stereo) and Portuguese (Stereo) english will be default, but if the theres a case were 1 of the languages is not stereo but better, as 5.1 Dolby, the better audio will be automatically selected as default, for example if English (Stereo), Spanish (Stereo) and Portuguese (5.1 Dolby), then the movie will play in Portuguese, no matter what your default preference is.
There is no way to fix this, because the ATV does not give the option to change the audio language on Netflix (It does on iTunes), and and Netflix App is omitting the web page preferences and the ATV preferences. Basically is and App problem, I don't know who developed the App, but the problem is definitely the app, that has not implemented all of the options the API allows.

How do you change the ui language in Reader

How do you change the ui language in Reader

Hi trollbu99,
Adobe Reader typically gets installed with just one language for its UI. At the download site, you have to specificy which language version of Reader you want, along with what OS you need it for (eg, Win7 or MacOS). Therefore, there won't be a choice in the prefs, for example, for changing the UI language.
Hope that helps,
Rob

You can't. You can change the language of the entire card to Spanish but can't mix and match. To easily change the language without changing the system's language try using Language Switcher .

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.

Jerry,
Thanks for replying again. I've got a little bit further thanks to you. I tried the US keyboard layout as you seemed pretty definte that it should work. This time I applied the setting and also started the language toolbar and selected it from there.
Hey presto, I've got the @ where it should be. Excellent.
However the single quote ' works in a weird way. When I press it, it doesn't show up on the screen. But when I press another key, I get the single quote plus the next key I press. When I press the single quote twice, I get 2 of them. This is also the same with the SHIFT ' key. i.e. for the double quotes.
Very strange. I'll look at other keyboards and see where that gets me.
Thanks, Maz

How do you change the shortcut keys for Firefox in Welsh For Mac?

I'm using Firefox in Welsh on Mac (asking in English to hopefully get more answers), and every time I try to do the shortcut for copy (cmd+C), it hides the window (since Hide in Welsh is Cuddio, the shorcut for that is now Cmd+C). I usually forget this, and proceed with using the shortcut for copy only to anger myself when I realise that I've hidden the window.
My question is, how do you change the shortcut keys on Firefox so then I can change the Hide shortcut and give Copy the cmd+C shortcut? I'm also using OpenOffice.org in Welsh, and they are using cmd+C for copy and cmd+H for Hide.
Is there any way that I could do this myself? Its rather annoying for me, and its rather weird to use Cmd+X for Cutting text instead of copying.
Thanks.

This could be worth a bug. It shouldn't happen that some shortcut keys get (re)used for other actions and Cmd + C should be considered as one of them.
You can try to make the change in this file: cy.jar/locale/browser/baseMenuOverlay.dtd
<pre><nowiki><!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.label "Cuddio &brandShortName;">
<!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.commandkey "C"></nowiki></pre>
English language pack: en-GB.jar/locale/browser/baseMenuOverlay.dtd
<pre><nowiki><!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.label "Hide &brandShortName;">
<!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.commandkey "H"></nowiki></pre>
You can find the file cy.jar in the chrome folder in the Firefox application folder.<br />
The file cy.jar is a ZIP archive, so you need a program that can open such an archive and edit the file baseMenuOverlay.dtd.
I'm not on a Mac, so can't do any testing in this matter. I just downloaded the Welsh (cy.xpi) language pack for Mac and had a look in it.

How do you change the text in portrait mode.

How do you change the text in portrait mode. I can edit it in landscape, but when I change the view the Latin and photos can't be edited and swapped with my material. Thanks

iBA should be approached like this:
layout in landscape
edit in portrait
- - check in both on your device
Use the 'disable portrait orientation' option (Inspector/Document) for layouts you just don't see working in any manner but landscape.

How do you change the nominal range settings from 0-10v to 0-1v

Currently using a PCI-6052E with Mac OS, how do you change the resolution accuracy? In other words from say
0-10V full scale for an AI to 0-1V full scale?

Here is the information that you should follow when using DAQ with a Macintosh. I'm not sure whether you are using LabVIEW or some other programming language, so the two main references that you should refer to are the NI-DAQ Software Reference Manual for Macintosh and the LabVIEW Data Acquisition VI Reference Manual. Both of these resources are excellent sources of information and will explain to you anything you need to know about programming DAQ on a Macintosh.
The NI-DAQ Software Reference Manual for Macintosh can tell you how to configure things such as Analog Input Mode (differential, RSE, NRSE), Range, Polarity, Analog Output Range, P
olarity, Voltage Source, etc. Even reading just the first chapters of either of the above mentioned reference manuals should have you on your way.
Hope this helps.
