Hi Harvey,

Good point! That is an another good reason for doing the columns of the page(s) as table columns: 
It simplifies selecting a column as a syntactic field. I never thought about that, and appreciate 
you generalizing the solution in that way, which is an interesting variation on style management.

Thanks,
John

I just klick on the top of the one column to select the content of the
whole column. Then go to Tools > Language > For Selection and select
the language to be checked for that column.

Sorry, but I was hoping you would ask HOW the spell-check language is
set separately on each column.

Since you grasped it immediately, I'm afraid I must ask one of you:
How do you do that?

A two-column TABLE seems to be a very smart solution for this.
Thank you, Harvey.

Hi,
I sometimes have to translate documents. So that I can see the
relationship of the texts I put one language on the right and the
other
left on the page. For that I use a two-column table which works
quite
well. Not sure if that is the most elegant solution for what you
want.
Of course you can format each column as you want (e.g. with no
table
borders), and the spell-check language can be set separately on
each
column.

Greetings
Harvey

Hello everyone.

I would like to write a book in German and English in parallel
and
let
the German text flow on the left and the English text on the
right,
or
two columns of German on the left and English on the right. Is
that
technically possible in LO Writer? I haven't found anything
about it
yet.

Best, Ulf
