Q. I read and write in several languages; how do I switch which language is used by the spell-checker?
A. On Mac OS X 10.5, Ctrl-click in any web page text field and select the appropriate language from the Spelling Language sub-menu.
On Mac OS X 10.3.9 and 10.4, because of limitations of supporting code that Camino cannot change, a somewhat-complex series of steps is required to switch which dictionary the Mac OS X spell-checker uses to check text in Camino. In many cases, however, the system will choose the correct dictionary automatically. If it does not, follow these steps:
1. Type a word in the search field in the toolbar.
2. Ctrl-click on the word.
3. In the context menu, open the Spelling sub-menu and choose the Spelling… item.
4. In the Spelling panel that appears, select the appropriate dictionary from the pop-up menu and close the panel.
If the languages you use are among the languages supported in the Mac OS X spell-checker by default, you might consider selecting the “Multilingual” dictionary, which will check spelling using all of the default dictionaries.
