“Unsung Snow Leopard feature: multiple-language spell checker”
But now, OS X offers simultaneous spell checking not only in four different varieties of English, but also in Spanish, French, German, Italian, and six other European languages. You can mix and match these languages in a single document, and the built-in spell checker will intelligently adapt to whichever language it thinks you’ve switched to.
Yay! One more reason why I’m frustrated not to have an Intel Mac. (Although I’m confused as to why it’s limited to ten different languages. Or does spell-checking only ever works in those languages?)
The adaptation seems to happen on a paragraph-by-paragraph basis. In other words, the spell checker doesn’t seem to be intelligent enough to recognize when you switch languages in mid-paragraph, much less mid-sentence.
