Hi guys,
I have only realised this today, but the item "change spell check language" in the context menu doesn't exist any-more. I don't know when it disappeared, after the update to 52 or during use. I'm using Opera 52 on W 8.1 - 32bit.
Any clues?

In current versions ... if you right-click there is a "Spellcheck>" submenu which lists your currently installed languages and "Language settings"; the latter brings up a Settings dialog where you can add dictionaries.

Thanks for the answer. I've used this option always, but the item just isn't there any-more. I cannot even do a screen capture because the menu closes as soon as I press a button.

In Windows, you need an external program to capture the UI. Technically this could just be Windows Paint - use the PrtSc key on you keyboard and then Paste it into an empty document - but I prefer using Irfanview (a free image viewer) for that. Last I knew Paint only supported..bmp format, which is huge filesize - JPEG or PNG are better. Opera will only capture the current tab.

Do you have a link to the page?

I see it when I right-click in these fields:

Or, you can just goto opera://settings/languages.

Thanks all,
I didn't realize that one can mark several languages at once. This said, there is no real need to have to change spell check language every time you use another language.
By the way, when I write a comment in this forum I do not always have the spell check menu, like now:

@mick-d Here I can see the spell checker menu:

Maybe the extensions are messing something up?

As I said before, the option to check all installed languages makes the context menu redundant. Therefore I consider this topic as solved.
BTW, today I do have the item in my menu. It's a random thingy, but not important any-more.
