Illustrator 28.5 - Spell Check stuck on Itailan

[Santiago77]

I'm using illustrator 2024, V28.5 and I've changed my Hyphenation, Character, and Paragraph Style languages to English USA, saved my file, and restarted illustrator but everytime I start Spell Check it show's English USA but once I hit Ignor it switches to Italian. It's a little frustrating, can someone help?

Which language is applied to the text itself?

Hello @Santiago77,

Thanks for reaching out. Would you mind changing the language settings in the Character and Paragraph Styles, as Monika suggested, and checking if it helps? You could also try changing the language in the Type Panel, but it is not recommended as it would be a manual style override.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,

Anubhav

Hi Anubhav, Thanks for your recommendation. I've already tried changing the language settings to 'English USA' in the following areas; Character, Paragraph Style, and Hyphenation. It still reverts back to Italian when I click anything in the spell check window. I've also tried updating to 28.6 and restarting my computer. Please let me know if I missunderstood your advice.

Hi Monika, English is used in creating the content.

[Monika Gause]

Did you assign that language to the text (like you assign a typeface)? Or did you just select it in the panel?

[Santiago77]

Hi Monika, Yes, I did both. I even made sure English was selected in the Document Setup/Type window. And I also deleted the app and reinstalled it.

I got it to work!!! I selected all and changed the language to English USA in the Character Style. Thank you!!
