1. Re: Find and Replace Language
P Spier Apr 19, 2013 8:27 AM (in response to HSGROW_HK)If you are looking for any language that is not English: UK and cahnging to English: UK, that's really the same thing as simply finding ALL text and changing the language to English: UK.
Curiously, this seems to work better in plain text than in GREP in plain text, ^? matches everything, including breaks, while in GREP the .+ does not match the paragraph or line breaks (and may not match a few other things as well). I don't think that's much of an issue for spelling, but it seems untidy.
So you could do a plain text search for ^? and set the change formatting to English: UK and change all, and the whole document would be reassigned, including any text that has a language assigned through a character style (You wanted some Chinese, I think), so you might not really want to do this. It's also not guaranteed, as far as I know, to solve your spelling problems. I've run across alternate spellings that were acceptable in several languages, as far as spell check is concerned, that users felt should have been flagged.
