Setting the default language
Important: For the hyphenator, spell checker, and thesaurus to function correctly,
you must set the default language to your language of choice (typically, this will
be your native language, unless you have any reason to use a different language).
To set the default language, proceed as follows:
1. Invoke the Tools > Options command.
2. Switch to the Language property sheet.
3. Select the desired language from the Default Language list.
Once you have let TextMaker know which language you use to write your documents,
you can safely “forget” hyphenation. It will work automatically in the
background.
Formatting text segments in another language
If you ever compose a document wholly or partly in a foreign language, the Format
> Character command will be useful to you. You can use it to format segments
of text in another language.
When you format a segment of text in another language, hyphenator, spell checker,
and thesaurus operate there according to the specified language.
Normally, the whole document is formatted in the Default language; so the default
language specified in the Tools > Options dialog is applied to it (see above). If the
document contains a segment of foreign language text – for example a citation in
Spanish – that segment can be formatted in the appropriate language as follows:
1. Select the text segment that contains foreign language text.
2. Invoke the command Format > Character.
3. Switch to the Font property sheet.
4. Choose the desired language from the Language list.
5. Confirm with OK.
Now, when it comes to this segment of text, the hyphenator will follow Spanish
language rules; likewise, the spell checker will refer to the Spanish dictionary.
You can change the language within a document as often as you like; and of course
you can format a whole document in a foreign language.
