It would be nice if Edge could "sniff" os level language packs and also install them for itself during install. Also if Edge could be forced or freely follow users desktop language codes, it could help some cases where corporates have multilanguage ERP, which sniffs browser language and provide correct language UI for itself for better user experience.
Hi @Sahkim888, we just released Microsoft Edge in several new languages. If you go to the website and your current browser is set to a supported language, you should see the site in your language and if you download the latest Canary or Developer channel, it will default to the correct language too. Unfortunately, we do not yet have the ability to switch the language on the fly, but you can specify the set of languages that you would like to use and the fallback order. You can also set Microsoft Edge to display in the language too.
@Elliot Kirk Hi this is what i meant, could this list "fill" automatically based what language packs OS has and also get reordered based on users OS language preferences at least as on first run as default?
Language settings do work as intend, but i have to add missing languages to that list by hand and reorder them to get right language output from ERP. UI language is not the problem only that language code what is passed to ERP.
@Elliot Kirk
Are there any news for this one? Are we (or will we be) able to set the default language by auto-detection of windows settings or by GPO (ADMX or RegKey)? As a company it's important to set the default language for the users. Otherwise every user has to set it manually by himself.
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.
I have three minor adjustments that I employ for Evernote plus three or four Import Folders. I have all this documented in a note with a config file attached. If I might need to do everything afresh it is all documented.
I already have this version and it does NOT solve the spellcheck problem. Text in a different language than the language of the OS is still highlighted as incorrect. Maybe it has never occurred to Evernote producers that some people speak and work in multiple languages. How difficult can it be for a software that is not freeware to include a "turn spellcheck off" function (if they are not able to implement a spellcheck in multiple languages like 99% of professional software products are able to do)?
