How to select a different language dictionary?

I'm using Pages 2.0.2 and I'm writing a document in Spanish. The default spell check is English, so I go to Edit -> Spell -> Spelling (as suggested by the help), but alas! there is no dictionary option! In other programs that use the Mac OS X spelling thing, there is an option on the bottom of the window with a multiple-choice box that lets you change the dictionary.
How come Pages doesn't let you change the dictionary? Do I have to set the language of my document in some other place?
Thank you.
(I've used the search in the forums, but couldn't find an answer to this... )

As Tom says, everything you need is in the Inspector, the blue icon in the toolbar with an 'i'. If you are not familiar with it you need to be. Much of the cool stuff Pages can do is in there. If you don't see it there choose 'Show Inspector' from the 'view' menu.
I do docs in Spanish and English all the time. You can set the spell check differently in different parts of the docs by selecting the text and changing with language from the pulldown menu in the Inspector.
• Select some text.
• Open the Inspector
• Click on the 'T' tab
• Click on 'More' tab
• Choose the language you wish to spell check from the 'language' pulldown menu.
What you have selected as a spelling pref is saved document specific. In other words: You can open a blank doc and press ⌘ + all and change the spelling, Now save the blank template as 'Blank Spanish' or something. When you open it, a new doc will be created that automatically is set to check the doc in Spanish.

  • How do I link different languages of subtitles to one film on one DVD?

    Hi
    I would like to know how to link three different lungauges of subtitles to one film on a DVD, giving people an option of which lunguage version to watch the film on?

    Hi
    There are No good solution.
    Either use another DVD authoring program as DVD Studio Pro - Which could do it but
    - it ceased to be sold from Apple - try e-bay and FinalCut Studio 7 bundle
    - Expensive
    - Steep learning curve
    - Hard to install on newer Macs
    If iDVD is to be used - IT WILL be severely limited as
    - You need to make one full movie incl Subtitles PER LANGUAGE (and may be one without subtitle too)
    - iDVD is LIMITED in TIME - due to DVD type used and En-Coding quality selected
    • Pro Quality + DL-DVDs = LIMIT to about 240 minutes - BUT this includes the MENU and it can take 15 minutes or even more from the total.
    Only solutions I can think of.

  • Using Teststand, need to know how to select a different active x servers in the labview adapter configurat​ion...

    Hi,
    When I open TestStand using a seq. file, I can see all the VI's that are called, but when I try to open them for editing, I see this message;
    "The labview adapter is currently configured to run tests in an environment that does not support editing VI's. In order to edit or create VI's, you must select a different labview Active X server in the lab view adapter environment"
    So, I clicked on all the options allowed to me in the "Module Adapter" (is this the same as the drop down menu (by default)"Labview Standard Prototype adapters") but I was still unable to open the VI�s for editing�
    Anyone know how or why?

    Hi,
    You will find the option under Configure | Adapters...then select the labview and press the configure button.
    So if you are not able to do this then it could be because your system doesn't have the LabVIEW development system or you do not have adminstrator rights (Teststand login) or it could be that your VI's have been saved without diagrams.
    What are you logged in as?
    Do you know if you have labVIEW?

  • How to select a different country in ESS Address information

    in ESS Personal Information Address iView, our employees need to be able to maintain foreign addresses and select from differenet countries in the country drop down.
    We performed the IMG customization step "Personnel Management->Employee Self Services->Service Specific Settings->Own Data->Foreig Address Setting->Determine countries for foreign address and make settings." And we are using the Address iView located under the International PCD folder.
    however, when we log in to ESS, the country screen field of the Address iView is read-only, employees cannot select a different country than their own. Anything I am doing wrong?
    Regards,
    Tiberiu.

    Let me mention how this works
    "Employees can maintain a foreign address using the country field on the
    Edit screen. This is enabled if an employee creates a new record. When
    an employee selects a foreign country in which to maintain an address,
    the country-specific views (Edit view, Review view) change to correspond
    to that country. If a country-specific address format does not exist for
    the selected country, international address views are used.
    Remark: Employees cannot change the country for an existing address!
    Maintenance of foreign addresses is only allowed in case a new address
    is entered or address changes are made for the same country."
    Also make sure business function is enabled by SFW5   HCM_ESS_CI_1
    VIEKN is availlable in Pa0003

  • How to select the desired language in the item Startup and Login Windows?

    Users can individually select the language in which applications are displayed by moving the entries in the Language list of the International pane in System Preferences into the desired order. However, this language preference only affects applications started by each user, it does not apply to the startup phase of the operating system and its login window. Under normal circumstances, this kind of language preference can only be set when installing or reinstalling the operating system.
    How to modify this language preference without having to reinstall the system. Select the desired language in the item Startup and Login Language ?

    The language used by the login window is written in /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist. The file name begins with a dot . , so it is hidden in the Finder.
    If it is OK for you to use unix command line, then you can modify this plist file by using "defaults" command as follows (CAUTION! please be careful no to make any mistakes, and do it at your own risk).
    Open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app. and type
    cd /Library/Preferences
    cp .GlobalPreferences.plist saved-GlobalPreferences.plist
    to make a backup copy of the plist. (if you get permission error, then try
    sudo cp .GlobalPreferences.plist saved-GlobalPreferences.plist
    and enter the admin password.)
    Then type
    defaults read /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences AppleLanguages
    to show the current setting. You can rearrange the list of languages as you like, for example,
    defaults write /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences AppleLanguages '(fr en)'
    (or sudo defaults write .... if you get permission error)
    I think you may make the list as short as you like.
    If you don't like to use Terminal.app, then install Xcode (you can find it in Tiger install DVD, or download the latest version from Apple -- you need to register at Apple website to download it). It will install /Developer/Applications/Utilities/Property List Editor.app. You can edit /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist by this app by typing the following into Terminal.app (it's hidden in Finder so you must use Terminal.app to start editing it by Property List Editor):
    open /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist

    Hi there are a few areas which would require you to manage languages within the portal:
    1.) As mentioned your portal personalization options can be enabled per user to allow for global language management.
    2.) The portal has 3 main areas to manage content
          -  Header menu area (Translation is managed within the portal)
          -  Navigational menu area (Translation is managed within the portal)
          -  Content menu area ((Managed outside the portal usually) since these are generally served from other systems the prerequisite is that you have the language packs installed on the sytems called for which ever application - in some cases translation content will be stored in the repositories called for by the portal i.e BSP applications/IAC's/Transactions etc.)
    For each of these areas there are some changes you perform to manage translations to your own content should it not have the default SAP language translations available for your texts (or no language pack available at all). See the following link:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/EN/74/641640b7b6dd5fe10000000a155106/content.htm
    Generally BASIS will have to install the language packs you wish to have in the systems and enable them. This solution adresses situations where lanuage packs are not available or specific portal texts are not translated correctly and you need to translate them yourself. I trust this will serve your needs.

    This is most likely due to a mismatch of the NLS_LANG you have on the client and the one you have for the database.
    Exactly what settings to do you have for the two?

    What exactly are you referring to?   Are the menus or templates for Pages in a different language?  Does something strange appear on the screen when you type?
    Could you perhaps use the Camera icon here to post a screenshot of what you are seeing?
    To make sure you have the right keyboard, go to system preferences/language & text/input sources and make sure that only the box for US or British is checked (and that the box for French or German or anything else is not checked).
