Enable spell check for various languages in Chrome I use Yosemite with Chrome version 42.0.2311.135 (64-bit). When writing in a text area the spell checker correctly detects English and French, but does not detect Spanish, and so it marks as wrong correctly written Spanish words:



I don't know why it happens. English, French and Spanish are set in Chrome:



and also in the Mac preferences:



Is there any setting to have Chrome/MacOS detect Spanish like it does for French and English?
I do not use Chrome (often) and Firefox is my favorite browser.

So I added Spanish to the Spell check and if I right click and select it it works just fine.



One drawback is it applies to the whole text so I can not spell check just a single word.

If you want to do that in Chrome:

Under the Edit tab select the Spelling and Grammar-> Show 



Now select Spanish
