Change language for check spelling

I have run into an issue with spell checking in InDesign, sometimes it wants to default to German since I am in Germany and it gets annoying.  I always have to switch it back.  I never worked with spell check in Illustrator.

You should set up correct paragraph and character styles with the correct language.

I finally found out how to do this and it's pretty easy. I downloaded the Adobestory program so I can set this from my computer, if this is your case, do this:

1- click on "sign out"

2- then in the upper right corner you can choose the language you want the spelling check to work with. click on it.

3- sign in with the new chosen language and the script writing will be set

downloading the app is no longer possible, so...

if you are using the online adobe story, then you'll have to look for the "language you want" page:

spanish: https://story.adobe.com/es-es/index.html

english: https://story.adobe.com/en-us/

Open the character palette (windows -> type -> Character) select show options from the submenu (top right corner of the palette). Select all your text, chose spanish from the drop down box in the character palette. Spanish spell checking is now working

I don't know for sure, but I expect at the very least you would require the OS to have Spanish language support and/or Illustrator would have to be a Spanish version. I hope someone can chime in and give you a conclusive answer.
