Q: change language settings in mail

If I wanted to write an email in two different languages, how is it possible? For example, Google can allow the typing  of an email in English and French, with phrase identification working for both.

    If you are talking about Mail on your iMac, go to Edit > Spelling and Grammar > Show Spelling and Grammar and change the dictionary.  Or you might be able to use Automatic if you go to system preferences/keyboard/text/spelling and set up the list so only your two languages are checked.

     

    If you are talking about icloud webmail, I don't know if its possible, you could try the same menu item in your browser.

    Oops, my profile must have indicated my iMac. The question was how to change languages during an email in iCloud using a Macbook Pro? I  could see how to change languages as you described via the Mail program.

     

    Thanks
