You could simply change your Publisher UI language to English (UK), and leave your Windows system language alone. That's a setting on the General page of the Publisher Preferences. But if you really want to spellcheck in Australian English, you will find en_AU.aff and en_AU.dic files at https://github.com/LibreOffice/dictionaries/tree/master/en. They do not have an en_AU hyphenation dictionary, though. I suppose you might be able to copy and rename the en_GB hyphenation dictionary. For instructions on installing the dictionaries: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/98911-faq-how-do-i-add-additional-dictionaries-to-affinity-publisher/&tab=comments#comment-529440 If you do install them, then in order to spellcheck and hyphenate in Australian English you'll need to set the language properly in several places in the Character and Paragraph panel, or in the Base text style.

As you're on Windows the keyboard setting (in Windows) shouldn't matter for Spelling purposes, as far as I know. Spelling in Publisher on Windows is controlled by a combination of the Publisher User Interface language from the General Preferences (which sets the default), then the spelling and hyphenation language settings in the Character and Paragraph studio panels, or the Paragraph/Character Text Styles.

KevinG Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 Changes to UK English in character panel but changes back to unknown (en-AU) as soon as I click off character box Found out that you have to have text box selected for spelling option in character to show correct spelling checker.

The language can be, in a way, an aspect of a text frame, but it really applies to the text you're about to type, or to any text you may have selected. If you set a language, and then start typing, all the text you type is assumed to be in that language. If you overflow into a new frame it will still be that language. However, if you type all your text, and then set a spelling language, it will not apply to text you already typed. You would need to select the text, and change its language. And the change would affect only the text you selected. So, I think we would need more information about your exact scenario and workflow to know whether the program worked incorrectly, or not. Edit: In the above I have also ignored the effects of Text Styles, which also interact with settings you may have made directly in the Character studio panel. So knowing the exact workflow is even more important. And having a sample document may help, along with the workflow Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinG Posted April 4, 2020 Author Share Posted April 4, 2020 Thanks that all makes sense, the problem was with my work flow in this case, you have a fantastic set of programs here. Will go through and set text language to UK in each style I use Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
