How can I work in English and Spanish or Frech English?

Hello,

I work at the same tieme in two laguagues I mean in a pages document I work in English but in other one I am working in French. I can't be changing from English to spanish etc, that's really complicated because I have to be restarting the computer each time I am doing that

Other reason is that I am working in French and at the same time when I am online on Skype or messeges with friend is very constantly that the computer chage the words in the language is selected

I have tried this:

System preferences > Languague and text> Text> Spelling

But It's does not resolved my problem anyway..

Please let me know if you know any software that I can use or any other solution

Thank you very much

Best, Davlem.

In Pages you just go to Inspector > Text > More > Language and switch it there. No need to restart anything.

For other apps, you can try Edit > Spelling and Grammar > Show Spelling and Grammar and change the dictionary there.

I don't think there is yet any reliable way to change spellcheck automatically when you change language.
