internationalizationkeyboardspellcheckwhatsapp.app
Multilingual spell checking (French and English) is working very well generally on my mac OS install. I set it up correctly following these recommendations.
However, there seems to be something particular with the Whatsapp Desktop application that makes it not work. Only English spell checking is happening and any word in French (not colluding with an English word of course) is underlined in red.
Is someone having the same issue? Does anyone have a solution to this?
Yo ! Man, I got the best thing for you.
Just type some of your characters of word & press F5 & see the magic, It is what you want. Suppose your not getting the word rub some & get what you want.
Here is snap-shot of what you want. ( source of lots of shortcut keys )
Suppose, I am a user, I would do as follows.
simple & short just F5 does all for you, no need to press Cmd+: and then get correct one from list. It will give you list on the spot.
You can't set it per application, but you can set it to support multiple languages and detect them automatically.
To do so (in Lion - although I've been using this at least since Leopard), open System Preferences, go to Language & Text, select the Text tab, set Spelling to Automatic by Language, then open the Spelling dropdown again, select Setup... at the bottom and check the languages you want to enable.

I had the same issue with Spanish and English. I followed these instructions to change the language priority, putting Spanish over English, and the issue was resolved.
