Make Pages use other language templates
Authored by: julesstoop on Mar 20, '05 06:56:57PM

This still doesn't do what I think most people want:
To be able to run their system and probably most Applications in language A (e.g. English in my case) and have the spell-checking dafault to language B (which happens to be Dutch in my case as well)

I have tried both hints but still the language field in the inspector thinks I want my spelling checked against the English dictionary. Arrgh.

I think you are right. No matter what language the menus are in, the spell check in Pages keeps reverting to English. Must be a bug, or maybe there's some non-obvious preference somewhere.

I think the paragraph styles have a language setting. So the English templates have English paragraph styles, etc.

Well, if you select French from the info panel for Pages, leaving all the other languages disabled, and start Pages, selecting one of the (now French-titled) templates, and then look at the spell check control under Edit (or, Édition), it does indeed say Français. But then if you start typing in French, it starts flagging spelling errors; if you go back into the spell check control, now it has magically gone back to English. I think it's a bug.
