Hi Mike, Go to system preferences/ and choose "text" tab. And then make sure that spelling popup button is set to "automatic by language". It might help.
If that doesn't help, then there's another awkward way: when composing a document in German, and having switched your speech and keyboard to german, activate spelling checker with command+shift+semicolon and in the dialog that appears, set the popup button to German. Hope this second method won't be necessary as it would require you to set it back to English once you've finished. > On 11 Apr 2017, at 12:38, Michael Busboom <mbusb...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hello everyone, > > I’m embarrassed to ask this question since I’ve been using a Mac for over > eight years and love it. > > Here’s the problem: > I daily communicate in both German and English.
