Bonjour Mathieu,
You can use the built-in spellchecker (correcteur orthographique) in iPad but first you need to set your iPad to French or to use a built-in French keypad in your apps.
This is how you do it:
Method 1: change to International
Tap Settings on your iPad;
Tap General in the left column;
Tap International on the right;
Tap Language, select Français from the popup and tap Done;
Wait a little while: iPad will show "Changement de langue..."; it will take about 1 minute. Your iPad is now in "French";
As you type in French the spellchecker will automatically prompt you for the correct word; for example, if you type "voila une bete degoutante", it will prompt you to "voilà une bête dégoutante". All you do is press the Spacebar every time it prompts you for the correct word. If the word is incorrect, it will be underlined with a dotted red line.
Method 2: change to a French keyboard
Tap Settings on iPad;
Tap General;
Tap Keyboard on the right;
In the middle of the page on the right, you will see Keyboards again, tap it;
Tap on Add New Keyboard...;
Tap French (you can chose between 3 keyboards, Canada, French or Switzerland) to add any of the 3 keyboards;
If you wish to have a "French keyboard" on the iPad, you will have to select it by tapping French and tap the right software keyboard, AZERTY, Accented AZERTY or QWERTY (for the French keyboard);
When you type in Pages or Numbers, tap on the Globe to the left of the Spacebar to select the French keyboard (Français) and, as you type, it will correct the words as previously stated. By tapping repeatedly on the Globe key, you can toggle between the different keyboards you have installed.
I hope this helps!
