when I write in German, I copy the text into Firefox and use the German spell checker, then copy my work back.Today I had a massive "duh" moment, when I realised that OSX has built in spell checking.Now, I am writing an email in German, and I would like to change the language of the email to German and have the spelling checked automatically instead of me having to go through each word and telling OSX that it's a German word
View 2 RepliesI regularly e-mail/chat back and forth with friends in the Netherlands and Germany, so I was wondering if there was a way for me to do a quick system wide language change that could spell-check for me. So, what are those little flags for on my Menu Bar? I have the Dutch, German, and American flags, but I don't notice any changes when I switch between the three.

Language

Input Sources
I have added a language under the first tab, Language, only to find that there is no correspondingly supported input option under the fourth tab, Input Sources.
I would now like to remove the entry I added under the first tab, Langauge, but cannot figure out how to do this. I have tried highlighting and pressing delete, dragging it out of the window, etc., but so far nothing works.

i'm using Mac OS X in English but i'm French and need the spell checker in French. Each time I have to change the language of the whole interface, log out and log in again.
I checked the Dictionnary preferences thinking it might be linked but I can't see any French options.
Do you have any idea how i can modify this setting so that the spell checker in Safari or Firefox or any programs switches to French?

View 4 Replies View Relatedyou would be kind enough to perform the following test and tell me what result you get (it should take five minutes)?
1) login to MyInfo page: [URL]
2) select "Contact Prefs" and set "Preferred Language" to a language different from your country default language
3) Logout (very important)
4) starts iTunes, go in the iTunes Store and connect to view your account (click on your AppleID in the top right corner)
5) select "Edit Payment Information"
6) change nothing, just press Done twice to go back to the iTunes Store
7) login to MyInfo page again:[URL]
8) check if Contact Prefs->Preferred Language was set to your country default
9) come back to this thread and report the result (with your country)
In my case (from Switzerland iTunes Store) my Preferred Language is reset to German each time and it is quite annoying. I've tried to report this to the iTunes Support, but their answer was something like: "we need to test your account." And after having done that:we're happy to tell you that your preferred language is now set to English." Not very useful as you can see.
I want every app to "remember" its current language input. And I don't mean that it should remeber it on osx boot, but after I open it and switch language input.

Now, I've changed the system language in English, but the Logon Screen is always in Italian Language... how may I translate it in English?
I've been trying to find a solution to this for ages, with no success. I'm not even sure it's possible, but I thought I'd continue to try. What I want to do is change the language setting in Pages permanently. I've had answers telling me about the language setting, and International Input menus and so on, but I'm familiar with changing the language setting, as I write a lot of documents in French and in German, but I write more in English, so what I want is to be able to permanently change the setting so that every time I open a new document, the language is set to British English.
