With the checker open, choose the desired language you would like to use from the menu at the bottom of the window. To do this, go to the Edit menu and choose "Show Spelling and Grammar" from the "Spelling and Grammar" submenu. In TextEdit, you have the option to run a spell check session in a different language. Luckily, several common word-processing programs have these settings: The problem with changing this setting is it is global and therefore will not allow you to specify a specific document or text selection to be identified as a different language. Pages offers language options in the Inspector window. While you can select a specific language here, if you leave it as "Automatic by Language" then when you change localization settings such as the system language or other program-specific language setting then the spell checker will automatically adjust to that preference. To get to the settings for the system spell checker, go to the "Language & Text" system preferences and choose the desired language in the "Spelling" menu in the Text tab. The OS X spell checker will be used for programs like Safari and TextEdit, which do not include their own spell check dictionaries and options. In addition, some programs offer options to have specific selections of text be set to a given language. To overcome this problem, you can either temporarily change the system-wide spell check options, or do this for individual applications' spell check settings either globally or for a specific spell check session. TextEdit's Language chooser is in the spell checker. Though this is convenient, there may be times when in typing documents you will need to use phrases or paragraphs in different languages, and having the spell checker in one language will not work. The language setting will not only set the system's display language, but also set up the various spell checkers used in word-processing programs like TextEdit, Pages, and Safari. This will set the system-wide spell checker to the desired language, and also cue other applications such as Microsoft Office to set their languages accordingly at installation time, if supported. That will help other people with the same question.When you initially set up your Mac, you will be asked to select one of several supported languages as the default language to use.

See Frequently asked questions - General - The Document Foundation Wiki - important: rename the folder, don’t delete it. Note, thanks to Radish: you can select the language for text on the Font tab of the paragraph style dialog box.Ī quick fix for most spell check problems is to reset your user profile. Also check that a language has been set in the Default paragraph style (and that language has to be installed of course).
Period.Ĭheck out Tools - language settings - Languages and check that a language has been selected as default language for your documents, and make sure that the language listed there is actually installed.
When you don’t have a language assigned to the text of your document, assigning a language in the spell check dialog box isn’t going to help you - the language listed there is the language assigned to the text being checked, and if no language was assigned, then the spelling won’t be checked.
