Automatic determining the language

Hi,

I'm new to MacBook. I am writing my texts in Pages variantly in English and German. At the very beginning Pages was determining the language automatically and was applying the autocorrectur itself. I don't know what has been changed, but it doesn't do that anymore. Once I write my text in a language other than OS language the redlines appear under all the words and there is no more automatic correction.

Would be thankful for your help.

Regards

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

As far as I know, Pages has never been able to determine the language automatically. It is set manually in Inspector > Text > More > Language for any selected part of the text.

Select All text and change the Language to All

It doesn't look like "all" includes all languages in the list. Some languages are listed below a line, like Norwegian and Danish, and these are not included in the "all" spellcheck category. If I select Norwegian specifically instead of "all", spellcheck works fine. Any idea how to edit this list and bring Norwegian above the line so it is included in "all"?
