Hi
this is really off-topic, but I thought I might try, giving the
amount of smart people here.
I'm sure all of you know by now how bad a typist/speller I am.
A small part of this problem is that I write constantly in
three language, Dutch, German, and English. Therefore I have
my spell checker on my Mac Powerbook set to "Multilingual". So
this spell checker will accept "adres" and "address" and
"adresse" all as correctly spelled :-(
I cannot be bothered to use the mouse to change the dictionary
all the time. I would, however, use a hotkey to switch
dictionaries. Does anyone here know how to do this, maybe
using applescript?
Thanks.
- Carsten

Have a look at the script at the end of this thread:
http://macscripter.net/viewtopic.php?id=28285&p=2
I haven't tested it as I rarely have to venture outside English, but
it looks promising. UI scripting is a right royal pain in the back.
HTH,
Christopher
