This is so awesome, thank you! I followed Alex's idea to edit the languages - it works great.

I would like to set Proofing Language for an entire notebook, or a set of pages. Is that possible. (Very useful for Teachers of Foreign Languages.

The same request, as Evgeniy left before. Please, could you add Russian language to the selection list?
Thanks in advance!

This macro only shows me four languages (en-gb, nl-be, fr-be and de-de) regardless of which languages is installed. Can this be changed?

To build on what phil71 said, this is how I modified the macro to set all the text on the current page to English:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<Macro name="Set Proofing Language Everything (en-us)" category="Lang" description="Sets proofing language on entire page to en-us " version="8">
  <ModifyVar name="desiredLanguage" op="set" value="en-us" />
  <For each="Text">
    <That hasProp="lang" op="not" var="desiredLanguage" />
    <ModifyProp name="lang" op="set" var="desiredLanguage" />
  </For>
</Macro>

This adds a new drop down category to the ribbon called "Lang", with this macro in it. In addition to this I have a similar one that sets the language to Norwegian (nb-no) to allow me to switch between the two languages I use with as few clicks as possible while still keeping the ribbon reasonably clean.

Nikon201: See the macro called \"No spell check\"

Nikon201 - 2014-09-03

Nearly exactly what I need! Can this be used to set proofing off, like the Word \"Do not check spelling or grammar\" option?

Hi All,

I am trying to set French(France) as proofing language, without any drop-downs. No luck until now.

Your help would be much appreciated!

Thanks,

Brigi

Thank you Omer.

I\'ve modified your macro in order to switch between 2 languages in 2 clicks only instead of 4 in your macro.
For that, you have to create a macro for each language you want. In point 3 of your post, instead of requesting the user to choose a value in a dropdown list, I specify a value (en-us for example). [Enter a new literal value]

phil71: You can do it by:
1. Click on Edit Macros > Set Proofing Language
2. Click where it says: prompt(Select a proofi...ext)
3. Choose Edit Prompt Details...
4. Change the Possible Values box from \"en-gb;nl-be;fr-be;de-de\" to whatever you want (should be semi-colon separated values).
5. Click OK, then Save

You can also change the initial value there
