Spell check language keeps changing

Hey there,

I had the same issue while spell-checking multiple psds. It turns out that Photoshop takes language based on what you select in the character window before entering your text. The same could be seen in the image 01 attatched below.

This could be changed with the following steps:

1. Select all the layers from the layer tab, make sure you select the locked background layer also. 

2. Now open the character window and change your language as preferred(for example, English USA).

3. Run check-spelling tool again; it will run according to your preferred language.

The steps I just went through that worked to set the default character and therefor dictionary language to English UK (for spell checking purposes!)

1. open photoshop

2. create a new document

3. click on the text writing tool

4. in the Character pannel, choose English UK (or your chosen language)

5. write something. Click on the tick to OK your text and come out of typing.

6. close the document, and photoshop, without needing to save the document. 

7. re-open photoshop - repeat the steps above only at step 4 the character pannel should now say English UK (or whatever).

I havn't tested but it's possible if you do the above, but then open an old/existing document, this won't work.

Hi Sharron,

Sorry that the Spell check in Photoshop keeps reverting back to languages other than US English.

This could be something related to a bad or corrupt app preferences. Could you please restore Photoshop app preferences to default and let us know if the issue still persists?

Please refer this article for instructions on how to restore Photoshop preferences: Preferences in Photoshop

Let us know if that helps.

Thanks,

Akash
