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.

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.

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

Adobe Flash Professional CS6, cant use spell checker, missing or not there

I am trying to use spell checker on Adobe Flash CS6, everywhere I look for help is very minimal. Most places just say click Text > then Check Spelling but I can't see this anywhere, I have found these instructions under Adobe CS6's Help but the Help on Adobe's website was brief an unhelpful.
I am unsure what is wrong mainly because of the minimal help I found on-line but as I said Check Spelling is not under Text and nowhere else as far as I can tell. Any advice would be helpful, I seem to remember having to add a Spell Check Dictionary manually on much older versions of Macromedia Flash is this the case here? If so why is it so hard to find help on this matter?
     thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks for the response but you have just told me the only piece of information I can find about this - its under Text. But like I said it isn't there, there's nothing to do with spelling at all within my Flash programme anywhere. I am using it on Windows 7 64-bit using Adobe Creative cloud on Adobe Flash Professional CS6 - Version 13.1.0.226
Here is a screenshot
Also why is your answer marked as "Correct?" We have not resolved this issue so far.
     Thank You

The new version of Pages in Mavericks crashes when I use spell checker.

The new Pages in Mavericks crashes each time I use spell checker. I have to Force Quit each time I use spell. I've been using Pages for many years with no problems. This is a first. I don't know if it relates to Mail's spell checker problem I've also been having since upgrading to Mavericks. In Mail, some words that I commonly misspell (like hte for the) are no longer corrected when I send mail. Anyone else have this problem? Any workarounds or clues as to how to fix the issue?

Many features have been removed from Pages 5 see:

Meanwhile it probably is best to continue using Pages '09 if that is possible and if you are unhappy with Pages 5 give it a review and rating in the App Store.

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]].

How can I use an iPad with two itunes accounts?

How can I use an iPad with two itunes accounts?
Hi there
My partner has a works iPad, which has her works Apps on (ones that are specifically made by her company and are NOT available in the App store).
What I want to be able to do is to ALSO have my itunes account on there so that I can put all the apps I have purchased previously from my iPhone on it.
This is so I can put on VLC player (thats already in my itunes account) so I can add videos to the iPad.
How do I do this please?
I tried it before by connecting it to my mac, but it wiped everything off the iPad completely and also deleted the data settings for using 3G.
So I want to avoid this happening again the future as it had to be sent back to her head office to be sorted again.
Any advise please?
Thanks

You can't. The iPad is desgined to be a 'one user' device and only really works with one apple ID at a time.
The only way would be if she, at work and with her work apple id, downloaded your apps (repurchasing them of course).
It's not meant to be a multiple user/multiple ID device.

How to use Spell-check functionality for textbox (like Orkut, gtalk)

How to use Spell-check functionality for tex Hello Friends,
I am working on a JSP application. I wanted to add Spell check for text box like we have here, when we post a message. It automatically shows red line under the word, when ever spelling is wrong. Please tell me how I can do this. If possible, the code too.
Thanks.

I believe the spell checking you see here, or on any other site, is the spell checking built into Firefox. At least that's what I see. Are you using Firefox?

How can one use Mission Control with two monitors? Please bring Spaces back

How can one use Mission Control with two monitors. With Spaces I could treat each space as a single desktop.
SyBB

I use two monitors at work and have no issue. I have my mail set to use Desktop 1 and iTunes set to the second monitor of Desktop 1. I have browsers set to Desktop 2 and Fusion and RDC set to Desktop 3.
Two things that may help you. In System Preferences > Mission Control, disable the setting "Automatically rearrange spaces...". This screwed with assigning applications to certain spaces. And the other thing is don't use full screen on apps that support it. This just makes your second monitor superfluous.

Using windows vista with two users and I can only open books with adobe digital editions on one account?

using windows vista with two users and I can only open books with adobe digital edition

You must authorize the second computer with the same Adobe ID.
There are sometimes issues with this registration: if you have them ....
Sometimes ADE gets its registration/activation confused and in a semi-authorized state.
Uninstalling and reinstalling does not help.
Unfortunately, it often then gives misleading error messages about what is wrong.
A common incorrect message informs you that the ID is already in use on another computer and cannot be reused.
This can often be resolved by completely removing any authorization using ctrl-shift-D to the Library screen on ADE (cmd-shift-D if on Mac).
Restart ADE, and then reauthorize with your (old) Adobe ID.

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.
Thanks to Sara at Apple Tech Support!

Using a ipod with two different computers...

I just bought a new laptop and had to download itunes again but when i hook up my ipod it tells me that that ipod is already synced with another computer (my main desktop comp.). Is there a way to use my ipod with two different computers, or can you just use one computer at a time?
thanks!
Dell Inspiron 1505 Windows XP

You can use more than one computer, but you'll have to load your iPod MANUALLY if you do, otherwise it will keep erasing things to match the library it's hooked up to.
