Check the spelling of different languages
The keyboard that you use to enter text determines the language used by the spelling checker in Microsoft Expression Web. For example, if you use a French keyboard to enter French characters, the text is tagged as French and the spelling is checked based on that language. Otherwise, the spelling checker uses the language that you specify in Expression Web for text, a page, and a website.
Important
To check the spelling of different languages, you must install the Microsoft Expression Web Language Pack for the languages you want to use in a website.
The Expression Web Language Packs also enable displaying the Expression Web interface, including the Help topics, in the languages supported by the language pack.
