OneNote (OSX) Language Proofing

I do most of the work on my mac in English, the language settings on the mac are also in English but since I bought the mac in a spanish speaking country, the physical keyboard is set for spanish characters. Changing it to English messes a with locating where some of the characters ended on the keyboard.

Would it not be better to use the system settings for proofing languages rather than the configuration of the keyboard? OneNote is the only app where I have this problem. The others take the system language settings to do the proofing.

Hi. This is not a good solution though: as my Mac is using a physical French Azerty keyboard (which is what I want since to write French this is by far the most practical keyboard), I need to be a ble to use the same Azerty keyboard when writing in English or Italian etc without having to reset the language proofing at each paragraph. No other application requires that. Not one, not even Microsoft applications! 

Thanks in advance for fixing this killer bug!

Hi Logan,

Thanks for your feedback on Mac OneNote.

We are aware and are investigating some issues with setting of proofing languages.

In general, the proofing language is set by your keyboard language setting. So when you create new paragraphs or text blocks we set the proofing language based on the keyboard language.

Thanks,

Chris

Hi Chris & onenote team, 

yes this is a keyboard setting issue. 

to resolve: make sure that your input source under keyboard settings is the right language (the one you want to use - if you have more than one). if selecting the correct one does not resolve the issue, remove the one that is causing a problem - this will definitely resolve it.

thanks all,

Hi Chris,

This is definitely an issue, the one that is keeping me from switching to OneNote for Mac OS X. Good app overall, with good sync with iPad and iPhone apps. But I write in a few languages. In Mac OS X programs, the recognition of the language is usually automatic which is great. In Office 2011, it is not automatic, but at least once you set the language for a text, the language does not revert to the default or keyboard at each new paragraph, so you set the language for a document, or part of a document and go on typing. on the iPad, the proofing language is set by the keyboard, but I can use an AZERTY keyboard to type and proof in English and the keyboard switch is easily accessible, so that works. On OneNote for Mac OS X, the language for each new paragraph is reset to the keyboard language! Just impossible to deal with. Please fix this bug as soon as possible!

Thanks,

Marc

Thanks, and sorry for my english.

1. When I  pressing the "." in the numeric keypad, in several programs I wrote one ","

      My no good to me. 

2. Use a keyboard layout called MACACOS and worked well until the ONENOTE came. http://www.macacos.com.uy/foros/viewtopic.php?id=9154
3. I use  the UKELELE program for remap the keyboard and edit the ONENOTE keyboard accepted as a basis. To edit it and put it on the KEYBOARD LAYOUTS folder but ONENOTE not recognized it.

And now i use 2 keyboard layout. 1 for ONENOTE and 1 for all programs...  :(

1. Al presionar el "." del teclado numerico en varios programas me escribia una "," . A mi no me sirve. 
2. Use un keyboard layout llamado MACACOS y funcionaba bien hasta que salio el ONENOTE.
3. Utilice el UKELELE y edite el teclado que el ONENOTE acepta, como base. Al editarlo y ponerlo en la carpeta KEYBOARD LAYOUTS no lo toma.
