Word can detect only those languages listed above the double line. If the languages that you need are not available, you must enable the editing language to have Word automatically detect them.
Automatic language detection requires that a sentence of text be written in that language. Depending on the length of your sentences, you might need to type several sentences before Word has enough contextual information to automatically detect the language and apply the correct dictionary. Words that are spelled the same way in several languages, such as "centre" in English United Kingdom and French France might cause the Detect language automatically check box to incorrectly identify the language of text.
To solve this problem, type more words in the language that you want, or clear the Detect language automatically check box. To fix the language formatting in existing documents, select all the text and then reapply English, via the Language dialog box.
