OneNote (OSX) Language Proofing

Hey everyone, 

I have OneNote for my MacBook (the default language is English) and when I set the proofing language to Spanish (I'm studying at a University in Chile), it seems to go back to English after a few minutes of writing. I know there is a solution for this with OneNote for Windows, but has anyone found a solution for the OSX version? 

Thanks,

    Hi Marcelo,

    Thanks for the feedback on how you use your keyboard. I know there are different ways to remap keyboards in OSX, but can you explain the steps that you use? Also which languages are you doing this for and why are you making the changes?

    Thanks,

    Chris

    I am glad that MS is obviously looking into this. This is really annoying when you create notebooks in different languages as given in many examples in this thread. Please fix it soon, MS!

    I agree with pallaire.  I recently lived in Spain, and I have become accustomed to their keyboard style.  I, therefore, set my mac keyboard to Spanish ISO.  However, when I type in OneNote, the language keeps changing to Spanish (even though I might be taking notes, say, in a US History class).  Would you please enable it so that you can set a language per notebook.  In addition, it would be nice to be able to create custom templates (as in the OneNote for Windows).

    I am not sure why OneNote for Mac is so drastically different than that for Windows, but I think that the Mac OneNote should be revamped to resemble the OneNote for Windows.

    Thank you very much.

    Hi Chris,

    People who changes language are usually handling more than one language at at time.

    So for me, I work in both English and French, and to avoid having to always switch keyboard, I have configured it to use US International ... this way I can create French accentuated letters without changing the keyboard.

    But I should be able to do a CTRL-A (Command-A) and set proofing language to the whole Note in a specific language, after that typing a new paragraph should continue on the same language and not switch back. 

    It works fine on windows.

    Best,
