How to set proofing language regardless the keyboard layout on Windows?
On my Windows 10 I am using 3 different keyboard layouts. Whenever I type something in some application the operating system is matching the proofing language for spelling and grammar check with the language of the keyboard layout in use: for example, when I am using the ENG keyboard layout then English is used as proofing language.
It's often the case though that I am using the keyboard layout of my physical keyboard, even when I am writing in a language different from the one of the keyboard.
How do I tell the operating system, to use a specific language for proofing, regardless the keyboard layout?
- Go to settings > Region & Language.
- In "Languages" > Add a language.
- Add the language that you want to use for language proofing.
- Click on that new added language and hit "options".
- Add the keyboard layout that you want.
- Switch proofing languages with AltShift.
