Where did the dictionaries go? I remember that in the last version I had at
least French and Spanish, and they checked my text automatically according to
my keyboard layout. Where did they go? I'm back to only an English dictionary
again and I can't even click the Install button.

Odd. I've got options for Korean, German, Spanish and French. Were these
perhaps optional extras in the download? I can't remember.

These extra languages were announced as a new feature in beta 1 back in May.
Perhaps those who didn't join until beta 2 lost out.

I only have English, not even Spanish! I used to have them all a while back
also.

Hi, Noel.

Me, too! The same 5 (English + 4).

I'm running Beta 2 (12.0.1365).

Auto-correct can now be turned on or off as desired.
URLs such as http://xyz.com are now ignored during the spell check,
but server names such as mail.xyz.com are still flagged.

I've the same problem that Sammy, but in program options, on the spelling tab
there's no way to add a dictionary, the only one is english and all buttons
such as "instal" "uninstall" "update" "set default" are disabled, so how can
I add a dictionary?
Note that I have the latest (final version) of WLM.
I though we'll should have available free instalations of any language file,
but as I read this I notice that everyone has different languages available,
no one seems to know why and no one knows how to get new language files.
Can any member of Microsoft development team help us?

That's strange, my version of WLM lists Korean, German, English, Spanish
and French. Are you sure you have the latest? Once you have a list, if you
select a language the install button becomes available and I assume after
installing, the others will be available.
