Hey everyone,

Quick question. I have French as my highest language in International, so all my applications are in french. However 99% of the typing I do is in english. So for example, right now as I'm writing this, almost every single word is failing spell check because it isn't in french. Is there some way to keep my system in french but use an english dictionary for spell check? My input method is canadian english keyboard, but the dictionary is what's wrong. Almost every word in this post has the red squiggly line under it saying spelling error. Thanks!

From any application that supports the Spelling service (the text box at the bottom of this forum will do) choose Edit > Spelling and Grammar > Show Spelling and Grammar

Choose the desired language from the pop-up menu at the bottom of the spelling dialog box.
