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.
Thanks a million,
Dave

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

  • Keynote Spanish Spell Check - Keynote Foreign Language Spell Check

    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]].

  • 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

  • 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.

    How can I change the spell check in the PAGES app in my IPAD?

    Thanks.

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

  • HT201342 How do I spell check when composing an e-mail?

    How do I spell check when composing an e-mail

    Webmail sites typically have a link tool that appears on the formatting bar above the compose box. The specifics might vary but generally speaking, if you click the button for the link tool, paste the link, then OK that, a link should be inserted at the current cursor position.
    To see what I mean for Yahoo! mail, check out this thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/938081 url is not highlighted when sending it on an email and cannot be directly accessed].
    Does that help?

  • 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.

  • Different languages for mail and OS

    For practical reasons, I need to use Mail in English while MACOS is in German. There is no problem writing mails in English, but the program generated prompts are still in German. Has somebody any idea how to accomplish this?

    Click once on the Mail program icon and do File > Get Info. Open the languages tab and uncheck Deutsch and make sure only English is checked.

  • Enabling of Spell Checker for email and text in IC Web Cleint

    Hi,
    Can someone help me how to enable the Spell Checker option for email and text in IC web Client.
    Currently we are working with CRM 4.0.
    Thanks in adv....

    Hi,
    I agree with the previous reply. Building your own spell checker is just a waste of time. Google bar has a pretty nice spell checker with different language support.
    Its best to use that.
    If there are reasons why you don't want to use the said spell checker then in CRM_IC you will find two view for spell checker. You can add JavaScript or VB Script code to use word functionality and do the spell check. This would be the second best alternative.
    Thanks and regards,

  • Foreign Language Spell Check with Mail

    I understand that using Pages, one can set different languages for Spell Check, but I seem unable to do this when writing e-mail messages. Is it possible to type an e-mail in a foreign language, and set Mail or is it elsewhere - to have spell-check not underline every foreign word in red - but to actually correct real spelling errors in the selected language - other then English? And can I then I toggle back and forth between spell-check in various languages, as my correspondences take place in a number of languages?
    Thanks in advance,
    john

    your suggestion is specific to Mail
    Actually, any application that uses the basic text editing features of the OS will use the same spelling system. Pages seems to have its own spelling system that actually looks inferior (at least in my '08 version).
    what if I am looking for Hungarian - a language not listed in the pop-up section.
    You are going to have to do some research. There are a couple of options listed here: http://neowiki.neooffice.org/index.php/AddingAdditionalDictionaries
    I have no idea if they will work.
    A Google search suggests that Snow Leopard does have a Hungarian spell-check - but the question is - where?
    I don't think so. The link above indicates that you may be able to add dictionaries, including one for Hungarian. The screenshots were old, so I'm not sure if it still works. It's all in Hungarian so that's all I can tell from the site.
    And can it be used with Mail?
    Yes. Once you get it installed into the OS spelling system, it will be available throughout the OS - except for those applications that have their own system.

  • Keyboard input in other languages - How to turn off spell checker?

    I have been trying to send text messages on the iPhone in my native language and it kept replacing all the words with english words. I have tried to turn off the spell checking, but no luck. I have asked the Apple Store employees, no luck there either. How can I type my messages in languages other than english? I don't need a spell checker in my language, I just want an option to turn off the english one.

    Input is essentially English only for this version of the iPhone.
