[English To French Dictionary Download For Windows 7 16
Eliora Shopbell
I was editing a document in Office Word 2007 on Windows XP and suddenly all sorts of words are underlined as misspelled. I go into Word options and it talks about French dictionary! In the preferences, my primary language is set to English (US) and that is only language set.
To fix issue like this in Microsoft Word where the Synonyms for a particular document is in different language or the proofing language/spell check is changed to French, Spanish, etc; First select all the document (shortcut Ctrl + A) and navigate to Review Tab > Language > Set Proofing Language and then in the pop up , make sure the check-box "Detect language automatically" is unchecked.
Word switches the language based on the input language. I have Polish installed as input language, along with the proper keyboard layout and when I switch to that in Word I get spell-checking in the correct language.
This is a weird bug in Word, which still exists in Word 365 (just encountered it in October 2022!). I tried various solutions mentioned above, and none worked. In the end when I went into this option I finally got it to be showing French, and reverted to English - I wonder if I had the dodgy line selected at the time?
Even if you show print characters, there is no symbol inserted in your document to say you suddenly want to switch to French proofing. I wonder if an image added contains a series of characters which triggers this instruction? Weird.
I encountered in PPT 2007 where I was typing text in and suddenly normal words, such as "your" and "windows", were being highlighted as being incorrect. I right-clicked on the misspelled words and the spelling showed what I beleive was French spelling. I looked at the main dictionary and English was selected.
As mentioned above, I also went into the REVIEW>LANGUAGE, scrolled through the list and selected English (US), even though it was already highlighted, and then clicked default. The wording that was marked as incorrect was now correct. I can only guess that I had accidently hit a key combination while typing that forced a different dictionary.
As I will be working on a french text with the mission to analyse it, I am unable to add a french dictionary to the hunspell package. I tried the links suggested by the package as follows :
I am using evernote for English and German content. My Windows operating system primary language is German. Since Evernote 10 it seems that only the system language is considered for spell checking. Now all English text are marked with the red line. For me it is not an option always to change the system language. Could you please bring back the multi-language spelling check option.
Same here, it is pretty ridiculous that checking spelling of multiple languages seems not possible anymore without changing the system language. Please re-introduce this asap, because the current way of handling this is clearly a downgrade compared with version 6 of Evernote.
First off all, I discovered that when I set the 'Windows Display Language' to my native language (Dutch) that then Evernote seem to support spelling check for 2 languages.
That is both errors detection as well as suggestions. Both languages may be used in the same note/line while the check still works.
However, when I switch the 'Windows Display Language' to English, which is my personal preference, then Evernote only support the English spell check.
And as far as I know Evernote does not give any setting to enable/add a second language.
Gladly I've found a work-around to get a second language working (next to English) while the 'Windows Display Language' is English.
Namely I noticed that Evernote uses the bdic-fileformat as dictionary files. This type of dictionary files are also used by other programs like Chrome and Microsoft Teams.
While searching my PC's HDD for bdic-files I found two bdic-files in my native language:
Can someone from Evernote please turn this into a high-priority bug fix? I am working wth three languages and the ability to switch languages for spell checking on a note-by-note basis is absolutely essential. I must say I am very surprised that I am getting a notification to update Evernote to a version that doesn't support working in several languages.
Same issue here. Completely ridiculous, Evernote is now unusable for me. I will wait some days if they resolve this, if not, I will migrate to OneNote and cancel my Evernote subscription as I rely on a note-taking app in my workflow.
Same problem here... I regularly write in English, Dutch and French. And I mean, daily! So please fix this problem because the only work-around I now have is to write my notes in Word (with multi language spelling control! ) and then copy it to Evernote. But I then have to adjust the layout again in Evernote, which is super annoying because Evernote is supposed to help us gain time. As somebody else also already said in another comment here; if this doesn't get solved I will move to OneNote!
I have the same problem you all, my version is the last 10.3.7, the darkmode is very attractive but the spell check is very annoying, I have notes in English and Portuguese, and some French and Polish vocabulary lists, all words have some red underline...
So I can't use the windows version anymore, I think it's an easy fix for them.
Now I use the web version, is not that great, but has no spell check.
It is really sad that Evernote stil doesn't support multilanguage support! I really mis this feature. It starts bothering me more and more. A lot of people used it and want to use it again. Does Evernote even plan to reintroduce multi language support? I mean it's common functionality that is available in many apps (e.g. chrome or Word of OneNote)
The spell check is still broken (german user). Nearly everything marked red, no option to turn off or to learn words into the dictionary. No idea, what the product manager is talking about when quoting this as a resolved issue. I cannot understand why Evernote is not capable of handling spell checking in a professional and paid (!) product. Cannot remember another software product with problems on this.
I have the same problem, as I use both Polish and English for my notes. Also, due to the fact, that the ability to change shortcuts seems to be missing (or is hidden in some remote part of the GUI), I'm unable to easily write some letters unique to Polish alphabet (like "ś", for instance).
New evernote installed itself in the system language (Japanese). I don't want that. I want English as the UI language. Have uninstalled Evernote and am using the legacy version. If not resolved, I will abandon Evernote and switch to something else. Have been a user for nearly 10 years and have 10,000+ notes. Not a decision I make lightly.
Hi. This is a -mainly- user-supported Forum and if you check every one of the thousands of threads here, you'll find that developers have never commented on work in progress. Some of us users try to give what support we can, but you can imagine it's been a little busy around here recently!
On the main point of this thread - the launch version of EN10 in all operating systems was a stripped-down shell intended to volume test the new backroom systems for bugs that would not / could not have been found in normal beta tests of maybe a few thousand users. Evernote runs 250M accounts (probably a little less after the last few weeks...) so normal levels of system traffic could not be tested without just going ahead and doing it.
The 'legacy' app will run alongside the new version and is available for all systems apart from iOS (that's an Apple restriction). It should have exactly the same features you've always used - including multi-language support. Evernote will continue to support both for the meantime until the new app is more on a level with the old. At that point support will end, and we don't know when that will be.
The best tactic (I'd suggest) is to use the new app where you can, but when you (if you're a subscriber) find missing or broken features, submit a support ticket so that Evernote have a picture of what developments are still needed and what priority to apply.
If you prefer to avoid all the fuss you could uninstall both new and legacy versions of Evernote and go back to the last public releases, disabling updates for the moment. You probably have at least 6 months of continued activity before things are likely to change.
I'm dug in on the old Windows version at 6.25.1, and while I've looked around and have inspected suggestions from other threads, there is so far nothing which compares with Evernote for my level of use. Your case may be different - search for 'Evernote Alternatives' online if you want to spend some time trying out other options.
Everything was fine since the option to disable "Check spelling when typing" was added, but now the problem is back. My spelling is being checked when I open a note in a new window, even though I have the option disabled. (Screenshot attached.)
Can't believe it has been more than a year since this post has been written and there was 0 communication from Evernote.
I was about to upgrade my plan from free to personal, but that's a big nope for me, to be honest!
The sad truth is that this multi-language-functionallity was previously supported by Evernote. Unfortunately they discarded this functionality with the o-so-great 'update' (10.x). I just don't understand why Evernote discards such fundamental functionality for a text-based application. It's not even a big ask, Evernote just should support this.
I also have notes in my native language as well as English (which this day is very very common). Unfortunately I now find my self quite often closing all windows-application > switching windows system language > Log out and log back in just to prevent some big red-underlined mess while reading/adjusting notes. To be honest this way of working is starting to annoy me more and more.
