Comment #10 on issue 1834 by athmer: Feature Request: Spell-checker should automatically detect the language to use. http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1834
iceman400, That's true, but it also requires much more effort on the user's side than just changing Chrome's spellchecker's language. It would mean that they would have to install additional locale's to their desktop environment and that they would have to change the current input mode manually before writing something on a website which expects comments to be in another language. For some languages this is required in some way, because the script may be different (ie. Japanese people posting comments on English websites), however it is no problem to write English comments using a Italian input mode, because the script is (almost) the same. Point is, if the web browser detected the website's language by reading the HTTP-Header or HTML tag (this is no additional effort, most browsers do this anyhow) and set the spellchecker to this particular language (if the language file is installed, of course), then this would done automatically and the user would not have to care about the spellchecker setting - and would not get as many false positives as with an incorrect language setting. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
