nomi02118 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 I usually need to have French and English text in documents and the new preflight is great, except that if the program is set to English, every French word shows as misspelled. Is there any way to be able to select more than one language? It seems worth doing as many designers work across languages. I am Mac OS and it allows me to check off several languages for the spell check but I do not know how hard it might be to have the same function in Publisher.

walt.farrell Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 You specify the language for spell-checking in one of several places: By default, the spelling language will be the UI language specified in the Preferences. But you can specify it for a word, phrase, or text frame using the Character studio panel, which has a Language section. Or you can specify it in a Character or Paragraph text style, which also have a language section.

nomi02118 Posted March 8, 2020 Author Share Posted March 8, 2020 I will try some of that, it would be easier to just tell it to use two dictionaries instead of one, but your solutions would be a good work around for that. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pšenda Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 3 hours ago, nomi02118 said: two dictionaries instead of one Affinity use Hunspell dictionaries, and this is text files. So I would try to combine two dictionaries (two languages) into one using a text editor.

nomi02118 Posted March 8, 2020 Author Share Posted March 8, 2020 That is an idea, I would have no idea how to do that and am hesitant to do anything like that and end up with no working dictionary. Thank you for that information! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
