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.

Spell checking should be based on the keyboard layout that you've got selected in Settings > General > Keyboard > International Keyboards - if you have an English 'UK keyboard' selected then the spell checking should be English

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,+

Hi t Forograafken,
You can check your Creative Cloud Application Preferences to see if 'Deutsch' is chosen.

In AppStore.nl, how can I change the language from Dutch to English ?

Hi ...
Click the round flag icon bottom right corner of the App Store window to change the country.
FYI ..
"Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."
From here > The Complete Guide to Using the iTunes Store | iLounge Article
Billing policy is the same for the iTunes and well as the Mac App Store.

How can I change the Chinese characters back to English appear on the bottom icons after clicking the App Store icon on the iPad? It was in English before I upgrade to iOS5.

Is the address on your account based in France ? The language of the stores should reflect the language of the country where your account is based, which isn't necessarily the same language as you've set on the device.
If your account isn't based in a French spealing country, then try logging out of the account (via Settings > Store) and then log back in (and also make sure that your address is correct and complete), and see if the language of the iTunes and App Store the reflect the language of the country where your account is based.

Can I customize the Spell Checker?

I am new to Pages coming from Office...
In Office, I can customize the Spell Checker to do many things. It will let me have it "auto-correct" any misspellings I commonly make... like if I type "dont" it will automatically change it to "don't".
Does the Mac let you customize the spell checker?

Launch Pages.
Go to the Pages menu then:
Preferences > Auto-correction
Check the Symbol and text substitution checkbox, then check any substitutions you want made and uncheck any you don't want Pages to do for you. You can add other errors you commonly make and their corrections using the + button below the list.
Auto - Correction is discussed on page 113 of the Pages '09 User Guide, a pdf document that you can download using the link in Pages's Help menu. Searchable, generally well written, and loaded with excellent information, it's highly recommended for anyone new to Pages.
Regards,
Barry

How can I eliminate the spell check in Firefox?

I do not want to have the spell check active when I use Firefox, how can I eliminate it?

You want to disable the spell check in forms (e.g., data entry controls like the one I'm typing in right now)? You can do this using the about:config preferences editor.
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''spell''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click '''layout.spellcheckDefault''' and change it to 0 (''zero'') and click OK.
You're done, you can close that tab.
The change should take effect the next time you reload the form.

I can't use word because a box keeps popping up saying that it can't find the spell check files?

I open Word and there is a pop-up message saying that word cannot start the spelling checker because the files may be missing and to make sure that the spell checker files are installed or use the Microsoft installer to install spell checker. I have never had this problem with Word before and spell check has always been fine. What should I do?

Since word is made by Microsoft you should post your question on their own forums for their Mac software as Apple Communities only provide support for Apple products:

IBook Author: How can I change the language from German to english?

I have downloaded the program from the German App store.
I am writing mainly in English and the Spell check is not working with English, so I want to change the language of the program into English.
How can I do that?

The language of the spell check is independent of the interface language. It can be set to whatever you want in Inspector > Text > More > Language or system preferences/keyboard/text/spelling.
If for some reason you still want the interface language different than your OS language, you can try this app

How can i change the language from spanish to english on a palm 750 that i just bought in spain?

hi
can anyone tell me if it is possible to change the language on a palm 750 from spanish to english? I just bought this phone in spain and can not use it well as everything is in spanish
please let me know how to change this if possible
Post relates to: Treo 750 (AT&T)

Hello and thank you for using the Palm Help Forums!
For this device, you will need to perform a hard reset to be able to set the language. A hard reset will erase all data on the device and restore settings to factory default. You will want to make sure you back up your information to a computer (via Activesync) before performing this action.
To do a hard reset you will need to remove the battery. Press and hold the end call button (red key) while putting the battery back in the device. Continue holding the end call key until the loading bar at the bottom of the screen completes. Once you see the loading bar disappear, release the end call button and you will be prompted on the screen, Erase all data? Y or N? Press up on your 5 way navigator to confirm this.
Once the device boots up you will be prompted for what language you want. I hope this helps!
-Pat
