Version: 1.6.1 (using KDE KDE 3.2.2) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages OS: Linux The as-you-type spell checker does not take notice of a language change until you open a new email. Thank you very much for your efforts. Best regards, eike
That works for me. I use View->Dictionary to be able to change it on the fly, it seems to work (e.g. different words are marked as red or spell check disabled if text long and wrong language). However, if I change it there (dropdown list above "To:"-field) and chose Tools->Spelling, it is not changed there.
In KMail 1.9 changing the language setting via Settings/Spellchecker seems to be completely broken. The composer *never* uses this setting. Even after closing KMail and reopening it. Using View/Dictionary works perfectly fine. (Thanks for the tip!)

Dear developers, this bug is quite important (OMO) so I will vote for it. I confirm (see comment #2) that in kmail 1.9.7 if I select the language from the "Tools" menu > Spelling it doesn't change anything. I just lost some time (and happiness) to discover that I could simply change language using the "View" > "Dictionary" option... Solution 1) remove the "spellchecker..." entry in the "Settings" menu. As it's not working and only confusing for the end user. It makes the end user become crazy and frustrated (!). Solution 2) Fix it ;) This bug is more than 3 years old. If we think about quality of the product, then at LEAST use solution 1) and when you have time put again the entry in the menu (fixed) in a future release. Don't keep it like that please.

I opened the composer and configured from the "Settings" > Spellchecker as dictionary: "Italian", encoding "UTF8", client "Aspell". (I tried also other encoding, other client) but if I open a new composer it's always "Aspell default" instead of being the language I've chosen in the settings. There is no way to configure a default language to be different from the locale/system/LC_ALL/whatever language. E.g. I like to have my system configured in English, but as I write 90% of my e-mails in Italian I'd like to configure the spellchecker to be, by default, in Italian. I've found no way to do that. Looking forward to see this bug solved. for KDE 4 maybe you'll fix this? Please do, pleeeease ;)

A workaround is to define several identities in KMail which use different languages. then you can switch the identity in the composer. This will make the spell check aware of the language you prefer in that moment. Works here with KDE 3.5.
Still valid, Does this work in any distribution? (for testing distribution patches for this three years old bug) Thanks a lot
Oh my god, the bug is TREE YEARS old! Is there a case to keep the checking and highliting dictionaries uncorrellated? The way it is now it is really annoying.

SVN commit 785309 by tmcguire: Fix various spellcheck/highlighting issues: - Decouple quote highlighting from spell highlighting, now quote highlighting works again when spellchecking is disabled. Unfortunatley, this is a bit hacky, as the methods from KTextEdit could not be reused, because they weren't virtual. KMeditor hides spellcheck-related methods inherited from KTextEdit and implements its own, properly working ones. - Move more spellcheck code into KMeditor - Many bugfixes related to spelling - In KMail, sync languages used for spelling correctly between the highlighter, the config dialog and the spell dialog. This needs kdelibs 4.0.67 to work properly. Also, spell checking in HTML mode now works, but again, you need an updated kdelibs.
