Firefox has come to believe that my default spell check language should be Spanish. My global preferences have English selected:
Preferences->Content->Languages->English [en]
and on a page-by-page basis I'm able to reset the spell checker language via:
Right click->Languages->English (United States)
However, for newly opened pages or new sessions the default spell check language returns to Spanish. I found a workaround here:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/975459#answer-494574
Which suggested that installing a new dictionary would change the default. However, this issue has bugged me for so long that I would like to know if there is a more "correct" way to change the default spell check language.
If you only use system wide spell checking dictionaries (for example, the hunspell package provided by your Linux distribution) Firefox seems not be able to remember the default configuration (is this a bug?). You can fix this issue by having at least one dictionary installed as a Firefox plugin.
Afaik, there is no UI for this. Instead you have to use about:config and set dictionary.spellchecker.
Also, Content > Languages has no bearing on spell checking. This effects what content you're given on multilingual websites.

I'm trying to make the language switcher to work, I have already made all menus for each language I was gonna use, but when I enable this module, It just shows me the name of the module(when I put it to show), not the flags. What should i do?
I lost a full day of my life with this topic.
The issue was that language tag was badly setup in System -> Language Manager -> Content
For example for French I had fr when it should have been fr-FR
After that I had to rebuild/redo all the Language assignments for French on Pages, categories, menus, template.
The flag finally showed up...
It's an old question but, telling from the comments, a recurring problem. Seems like there can be multiple root causes. One thing to check is also that you have marked the default menu item for each language. If not, the corresponding language does not show in the language switcher.
Found that You need to set a default homepage that can be in hidden menu (and redirect from later) to Language "All"
But then also go to each menu and make the page 1 language and also Homepage.
So for me I have now 3 language homepages menu items. All, En, De
How did I discover this:
I needed to turn on a module in the Admin:
Language Status Administrator Module
This makes a small button bottom left in the Admin, and modal points out 3 different topic per language installed, told me I had not any homepages, and so would get no flags. (Thanks to Per on Joomla forum answer from 2016)
Happy fixing.
you need to set up the languages in the Language Manager? under extensions..
and make sure you published the "System - Language Filter" plugin.
Plugins -> System - Language Filter -> Automatic Language Change -> No
This will prevent automatic language changin which is often reason for this
I am using Rad Editor which is component of Telerik.
Has Rad Editor have intellisense property?
That is to say; while using rad editor when I start to write "Stack" word, I want to autocomplete it to "StackOverflow" or if it is possible, I want to show some options such as "StackOver" , "StackUser".
While I am researching about it, I found and thought about below link as a solution.
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/editor/examples/spellchecker/defaultcs.aspx
And also if it is possible, I have to customize the intellisense property.
That is to say, if user enters stack, suggest him/her StackOverflow and StackUser.
Is it possible?
It does not provide intellisense in that it provides active checking as you type. The two features that provide spell checking is the RadSpell control that provides spell checking capabilities, and the browser (like Chrome) which has spell checking built in.
With the spell checker, you can customize the dictionary to include the list of words that you would want it to use.
I have a multilingual website (spanish and english) using Joomla 2.5.7. I want to force the default languague to spanish regardless of the default browser languague on the visitor's computer.
I already checked Extensions -> Language Manager and marke Spanish the default. But it keeps showing in english even after I clear the browser cache.
I also checked Extensions -> Language Manager Content tab and put spanish first without luck.
What I'm missing?
Thanks!
Ok, the solution was:
Extensions -> Plug In Manager then search for System - Language Filter and under Basic Options change Language Selection for new Visitors accordingly
Hope this helps someone else
I need to create an extension that would change my browser locale on a mouse click.
I'm developing a bilingual web app, and I'm setting the i18n messages according to the browser locale. But this requires me to get to the wrench, then under the hood, then languages, then the drag&drop thing to switch the locale. Searching the chrome extensions didn't bring any results. I'm now trying to make a chrome extension which would make this a click or two closer, but I'm having troubles doing that.
I can get to the list of accepted languages with chrome.i18n.getAcceptLanguages(callback), but I don't know how to set the locale (or reorder or whatever).
Can somebody tell me which function ot use or even if there already is such an extension?
Well, does this help?
http://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/extensions/proposed-changes/apis-under-development/preference-api
Use cases
It allows extensions to read and write the browser preferences. Given accept languages as an example, page translation extension and dictionary extension will need to get the accept languages from the browser and use them as the targeted languages for page or word translation.
It lists:
chrome.preferences.
void getAcceptLanguages(void callback(String acceptLanguages))
void setAcceptLanguages(Value newAcceptLanguages)
void appendAcceptLanguage(Value acceptLanguage)
I want to add "Yes" and "No" buttons to my window. It's a bit similar to standard MessageBox, so I would like to use localized strings in these buttons. I.e. "Yes" and "No" should be written in OS's current language.
How can I do this?
No easy answer. You can try getting a translation glossary from Microsoft, or use thier online translation tool (more on both here).
Other "hacks" involve reading the string resources of user32.dll - but this will only work for localized version of the OS (i.e., not if you're using MUI, which sits on top an EN-US version).
I like the online translation or glossary approach as it proofs the app from any future API changes.
