Pedrober Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 If I change the language of my document to a different one, it's necessary to save and reopen the document to have the spelling errors updated ("Check spelling while typing" is on).

It would help if you can provide more details on exactly which language specification you used that exhibits this behavior. Also, do you mean only "check spelling while typing" (the red underlines) is affected, or the other Spelling functions, too?

Pedrober Posted February 4, 2021 Author Share Posted February 4, 2021 Dear Walt, Excuse my lack of precision. I was referring to the fact of changing the Language setting in the Text Styles and to the "Check spelling while typing" red underlines. The Spelling function works as expected. So, it's a minor bug, as stated. Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Gabe Posted February 5, 2021 Staff Share Posted February 5, 2021 Hi @Pedrober, I can't replicate this here. Any chance you can attach a screen recording of this in action? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedrober Posted February 5, 2021 Author Share Posted February 5, 2021 Hi! The behaviour is slightly different in the 1.9 version. Just start a new document with a very brief text. Language in Base style (applied): English-United Kingdom . Check spelling when typing: activated. Now, switch the Base style language to a different one (Portuguese, for example). What happens in the screen? Absolutely nothing. When you start to edit the text, words start to be underlined in red here and there. Are you able to reproduce this? Best regards.

Staff Gabe Posted February 8, 2021 Staff Share Posted February 8, 2021 Ah, I see what's going on here. It seems that the language is not properly applied until you switch to a different text style and back. Issue now logged. Pedrober 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdussart Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Dear, Regarding languages and spelling, I think that a "language of document" should be available, regardless of User Interface. Possibly at in the Edit/Preferences/Auto correct screen. The way I do work: 1) Affinity User Interface always in English (Edit/General) I prefer to use "native" UI as there are some times strange UI translations. 2) Most of my documents are 100% French. Here I would use Edit/Preferences/Auto correct "French" as default value for all documents. Presently I need to force upfront any new paragraph to French. Extra work. 3) I am also making multilingual documents. The most frequent mix is French/English/Dutch. These documents are either French with quotes in other languages, or complete paragraphs in other languages, or multilingual documents with translations side by side. Again Edit/Preferences/Auto correct "French" as default spelling would be a solution for me, with quotes/paragraph changed to other languages.

To make that easier, you can set the Paragraph Text Style named Base to use the French language. Or, perhaps better, create your own Paragraph Text Style named French, based on Base, and set it to use French as the Spelling Language. You can then tell Affinity to add that new Text Style to your list of default Text Styles, so it will be available in all future documents.
