Discussion

The code listing below shows how languages can be specified in language. If the language specified is listed in the user’s list of preferred languages, the spell checker uses that language to accomplish its task.

Listing 1. Specifying the spell checker language

NSSpellChecker* spell_checker = [NSSpellChecker sharedSpellChecker];
 
// Sets language to French. The language method returns "fr".
[spell_checker setLanguage:@"fr"];
 
// Sets language to the one spoken in Netherlands (English). The language method returns "en".
[spell_checker setLanguage:@"NL"];
 
// Sets language to British English. The language method returns "en_GB".
[spell_checker setLanguage:@"en_GB"]
 
 // Sets language to German. The language method returns "de".
[spell_checker setLanguage:@"German"];
