Spelling check & language when texting

Hi,
I'm bilingual, living in the Netherlands with an international mix of friends, and I'd say i send roughly the same amount of texts in English and Dutch. When writing dutch texts, the spelling suggestions drive me nuts: I either have to watch the text and manually hit the ignore on the suggestions made for pretty much every single word, which seriously slows me down, or I forget to keep an eye on it, focus on the keyboard, and find I've typed complete garbage.
I know the iphone is supposed to learn, but because I spend half my time writing English messages and accepting the changes, it doesn't seem to be learning. Changing the language settings on the entire phone every time i write a text message would slow me down as much as the current process does.
I don't think there is any way to turn this feature off, but are other people encountering the same problem? I imagine there must be others texting in multiple languages? Have you found a solution? Can we start a campaign for a patch that will allow you to turn the spelling suggestions off altogether?

Simply set the keypad to have two languages. Go to Settings>General>Keyboard>International Keyboards>Dutch. Now when you text or type in any application, you will have a little globe-like button on your keypad that will change the language of your keypad. This will allow the dictionary to recognize and fix Dutch words, accents, ect.

Check marks when texting

I've recently noticed that when I send texts on my phone to other numbers that are Verizon there is no longer a check mark to confirm that they have received the text. I have a Samsung intensity 2 and its always done the check mark thing before. I was wondering if there was a glitch in the system and or if there is a way to get the check marks back.

ID CS4 spelling checker anomalies

Hi all,
I wonder if anyone can shed any light on this?
I'm trying to spelling-check a long text document in ID CS4. It's essentially a simple document -- all text, with some paragraph styles applied for formatting chapter headings, but nothing complex or layered. The UK dictionary is applied in all styles, and the whole thing is set in a quality font (Adobe's Minion Pro), so I know there's no strange glyph coding going on. Typographic quotes have been used.
The spelling checker is doing three strange things.
1) It's faltering after quoted speech. If I have a line that says
"Spell-check this," he said.
it seems to be treating the close-quotes as if they're the end of a sentence. So the spelling checker halts on "he" and asks for it be capitalised, as if it were the start of a new sentence. On every similar instance throughout the 400-odd page document, it's repeating this pattern. Is this working as intended? (That seems a strange choice for how it should work, if that's what it is.) If not, does anyone know how to change this behaviour, please?
2) Words with a hyphen in the middle, like ill-fated, seem to stump the checker. If I click on the button to add the word to my user dictionary, the button then greys out, as if it's been added, but at every subsequent occurrence of the same word the checker will stop and not recognise the word. If I click on the "Ignore all" button, absolutely nothing happens -- the checker doesn't move on, and it will still stop at the next instance. "Skip" will move the checker on, but then of course it'll stop at the next instance of the word. Why is this?
3) Words that end with 's stump the checker completely. It won't add them to the user dictionary (I can click on the button, but it doesn't grey out, and the next instance of the same word will hat the checker). But neither the "ignore all" or the "skip" buttons work in this instance, either.
Any thoughts here? I'm using version 6.0.5, so there are no updates to be had.

I used the dictionary window at the bottom of the CHARACTER window.
Resetting it in the prefs didnt do anything for me either.
It's still not perfect–you must select all the text, change the dictionary in the CHARACTER window and then spell check.
I also assume that the dictionary setting is buried in paragraph and character styles.
You can change the default language dictionary for a document or for all new documents you create. Changing the default dictionary in an existing document doesn’t affect text that has already been created or text that you type into an existing text frame.
Open the document.
Select the Selection tool from the toolbar and make sure no items are selected in the document.
Choose Type > Character.
Choose the desired dictionary from the Language menu on the Character panel. If you cannot see the language option in the Character panel, select Show Options and then select your language from the list.
Set the default language dictionary for all new documents
Start InDesign, but do not open a document.
Choose Type > Character.
Choose the desired dictionary from the Language pop‑up menu on the Character panel. If you cannot see the language option in the Character panel, select Show Options and then select your language from the list.

When sending, spelling checks old text

Is there any way to train Mail's spelling check to look at just new text before sending? When sending mail spelling check will run through old segments of the message that have already been checked for spelling.

You shouldn't be including much of the old messages anyway. If you are not directly replying to a specific statement, you should trim out all the old message. There's nothing so annoying as receiving mail from someone who leaves the entire original message in the reply, just hanging out, for no particular reason. Go to the following site, scroll down, and read the "Replying, quoting and forwarding" section:

Multiple language spelling checking

Hello everyone
I am writing to ask an advice on how to enable multiple language spelling checking.
What i mean is that when i write in russian, Pages automatically checks my spelling but when I write in english it just underlines every single word. So i would like to know if there is a way to turn on language spelling check for both russian and english as i am a student now and i need to do my english homework in english language.
Thanks, Alex.

Language is a text attribute like bolding, font, color etc. and can be part of a style.
So you can have Russian styled text and English styled text. Select the appropriate text and:
+Inspector > Text > More > Language+
Pages should then use the appropriate dictionary to check the text.

"Language-dependent text does not exist" when executing template on portal

Hi,
We are using BI 7 on SP 8. When trying to execute a web template in the portal we are getting a series of errors such as:
Language-dependent text does not exist: TYPE=REP KEY1=SAPLRRSV KEY2=705 LANG=
Has anyone experienced this problem and know of a fix?
Thanks,
Lee

Yes we have. The problem is due to the support stacks for ABAP and for Java being out of sync i.e. they have to be on the same patch level. If you run program RSPOR_SETUP (via SE38) and enter the relevant details for checking the portal setup, this will detail all the errors.

How can I keep Firefox from changing the language for the spelling checker?

I'm using Firefox 20.0 on Fedora 17 (Xfce) fully updated. At random intervals Firefox will either set the language to some random version of English (Zambia, much of the time) until I notice and set it back or it will simply uncheck US English without selecting anything else. It also turns the spelling checker off once in a while. It's hard to say just what, if anything, triggers this because I only close Firefox for updates, and only reboot for kernel updates. Most of the time, my computer runs 24/7 and Firefox stays open sometimes, for over a month without any other issues. I found two old, closed threads on this, but neither of them had anything applicable.

There's an issue with this because Firefox looks at the page you're visiting and decides on the dictionary based on the language code. At least according to this [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=682564 bug].
I'm still looking to see if there's anything that can be done to stand on the programs neck until it cries uncle and uses EN-GB regardless. But I'm not holding my breath.

How to download and install Greek language auto spelling check on SO8

I Tried to trace "Greek language platform directory" for auto spelling check,on Star Office 8, but I failed.
Greek language is available as a spelling option tool but not installed, on Star Office 8.(Writer)
__How I can download_ and install it as an add-on.??_
Can you help me please.
Thanks,Regards,
altkon

You can do this in all kinds of ways.
The most easy way is to download it with your pc, and use sftp to upload it to the linux machine.
(winscp can help you with getting it on the linux machine, http://winscp.net)
Which XE version you'll need depends on the version of linux (rpm or deb)
Just read the installation manual at the oracle express edition download page. SSH suffices for configuration after the installation.

On a iphone4, under settings, messages, send and receive, there are multiple phone numbers listed. How do I remove them? they are constantly checked even when i uncheck them. this is causing copies of my text messages to go to those phones.

Are you using the same AppleID for all those phones? If so, get them all their own AppleID.

I have checked "Search for text when I start typing" but it is not happening since your latest update.

I have checked “Search for text when I start typing” but it is not happening since your latest update. This is very important to me as I keyboard - not use the mouse. What can I do? Also, before the last update I could leave the window (alt+tab) and return and just type and it would type it is the search box. Now I have to take my hand off the keyboard and get the mouse three times for every search, slowing my work way, way down. What other flag do I need to put this back the way it was? Should I also remove the “Automatically check for updates” so that this will not happen again? Please, please help.

Hi CynthiaP,
You should look at the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved]. It may just be an issue with the pref file!
Hopefully this helps!

Encore CS3: Freezes completly when checking for "Subtitle Text Overflow"

Hi,
I have a project with about 2 hours of film in several timelines. Everything has been subtitled for hearing impaired.
My problem is that I can't "Check Project" with the "Subtitle Text Overflow" option checked. If I do so, the project freezes - and dies.
Now, I could care less about this bug if it wasn't for the fact that Encore automatically FORCES a "Check Project" when ever you try to build a DVD.
I have gone through every subtitle and can't find text overflow anywhere.
Can anyone help me out? :-/
Best regards,
David
System setup:
============
Win XP SP2
Intel Core 2, 2.4 GHz
3.25 MB RAM
GFX: Nvidia Quadro FX 1500

Each subtitle in a script has a start and end timecode. Are you positive that none of the end timecodes collide with any of the start timecodes?
Also, which TV format is your project? And what is the delimiter between hours minutes seconds frames of your subtitle clip (i.e., is it a colon : or semicolon ; )?

Last part of long texts are not spelling checked, why?

I use FF as spelling checker for long HTML files. It seems that after about 10 screen fulls the spelling checker stops working (which I notice from HTML tags not being flagged after 10 pages or so).

The limit of flagged misspellings is 500 by default. To increase the maximum go to about:config. Then adapt:
extensions.spellcheck,inline,max-misspellings
Exit FF and start.

Spelling check using a different dictionary

Hi
When I want to spell check my pages document, in the inspector window I need to change the language to francais. But when I click in the document to start the spelling check, it automatically jumps back to english.
Any idea how to solve this? How do you set a different dictionnary as the default one for spelling?
merci.

You have to select all text you want to spellcheck and then change to français in the Inspector palette
