in Help of Writer we can find theme: Checking Spelling in Other Languages and inside of this page writen: LibreOffice can check the spelling of words in more than one language, provided that you have installed dictionaries for the other languages. 1. Choose Tools - Options - Language Settings - Writing Aids, and ensure that the Check in all languages check box in the Options list is selected. ----end of citation---- In my office installed several spellcheck dictionaries. But no such option in options I can find. But it can be very useful because of much texts with intermixed languages. In OpenOffice this option also not present. produced on Mandriva 64 bit and windows XP 32 bit with LibreOffice 3.3.2 and OpenOffice 3.3.1
Help > "Checking Spelling in Other Languages" is invalid/wrong and should be removed, due to the fact that this option "Check in all languages" has been removed in OOo 3.0.1. See: OOo_Bug_69451 - Inconsistency with spell checking option "check in all languages" between Writer and Calc http://openoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=69451#c8 For the spell check in all (applied) languages you have to set the corresponding language attribute for the text (and to install the appropriate dictionaries).
Thanks for answer. But I can not find this: >set the corresponding language attribute for the text I can find only how spellcheck only one language or disable check. Please, tell how set spellcheck for all installed languages. Thanks
Sorry, the intended purpose of FreeDesktop Bugzilla is *not* the user support. However--some subtle hints: Try it out - Menu Tools > Language - Status Bar > Language (1) Software Specification Document OOo Writer "Set Language Attribute for Text" http://specs.openoffice.org/appwide/linguistic/Set_Language_Attribute_for_Text.odt (2) [Solved] Tools>Language question http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=28976&start=0 (3) [Solved] Language select in status bar http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=29516&start=0 LibreOffice Help is obviously wrong or poor to that topic. That's the bug.
