Spell check pages other languages

How can I change the spell check in the PAGES app in my IPAD?
My IPAD is in english and I write in english and portuguese.
Thanks.

Spell check is supposed to follow the keyboard, but Pages has a bug and follows the OS user interface language instead.

  • Spell checking in other languages using Pages for iPad

    Does anybody know how to spell check a document in a language other than the primary language? For example the iPad is using English but I want to write a letter in German.
    This was simple to do using Pages on the Mac. So far I'm stumped.

    Did you actually try this with Pages?  In the past this app had a bug where switching the keyboard did not work, you had to switch the OS language, as was stated earlier in this discussion.  If that is now fixed, that is good to hear.

  • Spell check in other languages

    I have Pages '06 in enlgish, but I write documents in english and in spanish, how can I spell check my documents in spanish?

    Hello FiGu
    Welcome to the discussions.
    This is a very frequently asked question, it's worth doing a search on these discussions before posting. You might get your answer more quickly.
    Anyway the language used for spell checking any particular paragraph is controlled by the Language setting for it. You can adjust this in the More section of the Text Inspector.
    If you start a new document based upon one of the built-in templates, this language setting will default to the one that you have top of your list in the Language section of International System Preferences.
    The language of a paragraph in Pages is associated with the paragraph style. You might find it helpful to create a couple of templates with the language settings adjusted appropriately.
    I've never tried but you might be able to do this quickly by setting the system language, opening Pages so that it is working in say Spanish, open up some of the pre-defined templates and saving them as your own template. This may retain the language setting.
    Just in case you didn't know, when you change the language preferences and restart Pages, the menus will change to the language at the top of the list and the content of the built-in templates changes. This is provided the language at the top of the list is supported by Pages, if not it will go down the preferences until it finds one it does support.
    Also, again in case you didn't know, you can change the input language regardless of the mode your application is in. This makes it quicker to type accented characters. This is controlled by the Input Menu portion of International System Preferences. It's best to get the icon shown in your menu bar so that you can toggle between input languages easily.
    I hope that helps

    Perhaps you can find an Arabic dictionary for OpenOffice.  That may also work with OS X.

    After a fruitless search online and in Keynote Help (and just when I was on the verge of upgrading MS Office) I did learn how to spell check in foreign languages in Keynote. This works through the following Keynote menu selections:
    Edit/Spelling/Spelling then click the tab at the bottom of the window to select your spell check language.

  • Enabling spell check for another language (Portuguese)

    I am trying to figure out how to spell check in another language. Specifically European Portuguese. Is this a browser issue or can it be resolved within the system of my laptop?
    Thanks

    First you need to install the dictionary, available from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3155/
    The dictionary will then be available for you, for more details see [[using the spell checker]].

  • During spell check (Pages), how to eliminate red underling?

    Hello:
    During spell check (Pages), how to eliminate red underling?
    This is a personal preference: I always spell check when finishing my work, don't want the visual distraction for the underlines.
    Thanks,

    Laurence,
    Go to the Edit menu and enter the Spelling settings there. Deselect "Check spelling as you type".

  • How to create a text area with spell check and other functions similar to word?

    I want to allow users the ability to copy and paste their content  on to the site.  The problem is giving them the option to use spell check and other word like features to my site.  My goal is to develop some thing  similar to how we post our question in this forums.  

    Some old and some new.

    You realize you'll need to use server-side scripts and a database for this.  Instead of re-inventing the wheel, you might just want to install WordPress, Drupal or Joomla on your site.

  • Pages, other languages, spell check

    I have Pages 08 and it serves me well but recently I have needed to use other languages and check spelling. Is there a language pack? Do I have to buy the new version? Other software? Anyone know? I'll bet someone does.
    I have tried changing the language in Inspector and in system preferences but it doesn't seem to take effect. Meanwhile Mail is doing spell checks from what I guess  is the source to do this.

    Language is an attribute of the text (like bold or color etc) so you have to select the text and apply a language to it from the Inspector.
    Not all languages have dictionaries and not all the dictionaries are as comprehensive as the English versions.
    You can get extra dictionaries from OpenOffice and add them to your system and there are also 3rd party dictionaries available.

  • Spell Check - Pages 4.0, Pages 4.3

    I have both Pages 4.0 and 4.3 as separate applications. I wanted to keep a backup version of iWork '09 after changes which were made to Keynote.
    The problem I am experiencing is with the Spell Check and Grammar Check. Neither feature is working in 4.0 as well as 4.3. I typed the word "asfjdifsdajf" in the middle of a sentence and it did not pick up on any mistakes.
    I have set the language to English in both versions of the application and have tried quitting each and reopening them, but it is still not working.
    Thanks,

    You are right, I was confusing Pages with another app (iBooks Author).
    Also do you have Check Spelling As You Type checked under Edit > Spelling?

  • Using spell check with two languages

    Microsoft Word allows me to spell check either of two languages automatically. After a few words in a particular language it knows which language I am using and checks the spelling. Can I do the same in Pages, or do I have to reset the language for each document?

    I am spell checking several documents that are mostly english but contain a handful of German words as well. I would like Word to check both English and German spelling; however, this doesn't seem to happen automatically like you indicated in your post. A possible reason for this is that not enough German words appear in the text for the computer to pick up on the second language. Do you or does anyone else have a suggestion? I tried creating a custom dictionary with German words that seem to appear regularly in each of these documents. Although, the German word "Volk" appears many times, which I added to the Custom Dictionary, but it is still treated as a misspelled word when I check.
    I appreciate any responses.

  • Spell checking in different languages in Mail

    Dear all,
    I face the following problem when using Mail. I have many friends who speak many tongues and I'd like to be able to e-mail them back in their languages. So, how do I set the typing language in Mail so that spell check checks the text correctly for me?
    The usual scenario is that I need to type in Italian when I normally use English (UK). Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Tom,
    Thanks for the response. That's exactly what I was looking for.
