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,

I use a Swedish keyboard because i live in Sweden and need the extra vowels but write in English....thus Onenote proofs everything in Swedish....
Any fixes???
Agree. This is very annoying.
In iOS with a virtual/ screen keyboard in makes sense to use keyboard setting since it is the normal way not switch language.
In OS X - not at all.
On a PC you would like the keyboard to be set to the PHYSICAL keyboard you have - nothing else makes sense. Thus language proofing setting MUST be independent from keyboard setting.
Why not just add an option in the language selection box to be able to set a setting as either
(I'm using a Swedish keyboard - mostly typing in English)
I'm facing the same problem here. My main language is Portuguese, but I bought my mac in US, so the keyboard is set as US-International so that I can use all the letters without messing it all.
I've tried almost everything, including deleting all the other dictionaries, but nothing worked.
Hope MS solve this problem soon, cause OneNote is one of my favorite softwares and I wouldn't like to give up on it.
MS forgot Mac OneNote users.
Hi Chris,
Why would you do that? OS X has set ways to find the language to use and that has nothing at all to do with the keyboard. It has to do with the language set as the system languages (which are keyboard independent). I mean you could set a global preference in the settings for me to force the app to use the langauge I want (I can see ways in which I need to collaborate and so need to use a language that is not "normally" used.
Secondly, this bug is nearly a year older than your response ... has anything changed? I mean, we are now on a new release of One Note ...
This is why MS stuff is so frustrating. It seems there is no consistency between MS apps on how they do stuff and no respect for other platforms standard methods.
Evernote will get me to remain on their system after all. And since I am our driver of technology, and am pushing out all the meeting notes ... everyone else will have to use that system too ...
