Language Issues (Spanish/English)

Hi Ana, welcome to the Seven Forums.

The issue you describe is not a Windows issue. It simply means that your word processor is using English spell check. Your examples confirm it; mejor is not English where as major is, and again haciendo is not English but hacienda is, so in both cases the spell check "thinks" you have made a typo and auto-corrects it.

Not knowing which word processor you are using, please consult the manual and / or help files of the word processor to find out how to turn Spanish spell check and dictionary on.

This Microsoft page tells you how to change proof reading language on Word: http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/w...010354272.aspx

If this happens when typing on browser, for instance on web email client composing messages, consult the help files of that browser to find out how to add Spanish spell check and dictionary.

Yes, MsOffice Word 2010 is a word processor and if you are using it to type Spanish, you need to disable English proof reading and auto-correct or install / enable Spanish proof reading.

This quote from the Microsoft Office page I linked to in my previous post:

Word

To change the language of a document to check the spelling, do the following:

• Place your cursor in the file where you want to start typing text in a different language or, if you have already typed the text, select the text.
• On the Review tab, in the Language group, click Set Proofing Language.
• In the Language dialog box, select the language that you want.
• Start typing.

Which browser you are using?

BTW, of course the Spanish keyboard has the @-sign, too. You get it with the key combination AltGr + 2.
