Spell checking in other languages

Spell checking in other languages

Spellcheckers online free! First, if you do not already have it, you must download OpenOffice for free. It's a word processor like Microsoft Word. Then you must know how to convert your keyboard into other languages: Control panel → Change keyboard or other input methods. (The wording may differ depending on your version of Windows.) Add the language you want to the keyboard. Then, to switch back and forth between keyboards press ALT & SHIFT. You will see a 2-letter code on the bottom right side of the keyboard: English-EN, French-FN, Spanish-ES, Dutch-NL, German-DE. Then, after converting your keyboard to the desired language, go to TOOLS, LANGUAGE, and if you don't see the desired language, click on MORE LANGUAGES ONLINE. Download the spellchecker for the desired language. Restart your computer, and you're ready to go. When I write in any language I always use a spellchecker because it makes writing more of a pleasure not having to worry about spelling. By the way, keyboards in other languages have some keys in different places. You can go online and search LANGUAGE KEYBOARD, and you will find a schema of the desired keyboard. Print it for reference.

Ik ben nog op zoek van iemand, die op Nederlands en Engels wil corresponderen. Ik heb nog niet iemand gevonden, en ik denk, dat het absoluut nodig is, een vreemde taal te oefenen, om ze goed te spreken.

That was really needed for me as I am working for translation services including simultaneous interpretation so have to work on various languages like Spanish, German, Dutch, etc where not easy to identifying and rectifying grammer mistakes ... Bill you solved my problem. Thanks :)
