Enable spell check for various languages in Chrome
I use Yosemite with Chrome version 42.0.2311.135 (64-bit). When writing in a text area the spell checker correctly detects English and French, but does not detect Spanish, and so it marks as wrong correctly written Spanish words:
I don't know why it happens. English, French and Spanish are set in Chrome:
and also in the Mac preferences:
Is there any setting to have Chrome/MacOS detect Spanish like it does for French and English?
Solution 1:
I do not use Chrome (often) and Firefox is my favorite browser.
So I added Spanish to the Spell check and if I right click and select it it works just fine.
One drawback is it applies to the whole text so I can not spell check just a single word.
If you want to do that in Chrome:
Under the Edit tab select the Spelling and Grammar-> Show
Now select Spanish
Solution 2:
The place where you set spell check is System Preferences/Keyboard/Text/Spelling. Go to the Setup item there and check the boxes for all three languages you want, and then set it to Automatic. Automatic doesn't always work perfectly, however. Below is the result I get with just boxes for English, French, and Spanish checked and set to Automatic.
