Hello everybody,

I often have bilingual documents (German/Russian or English/Russian) and I would like to know whether there any programs that check the Russian spelling, while ignoring the other language.

Thanks for the feedback.

Regards,

Carel.

In MS Word, mark your language-specific text correctly (Tools->Languages).
Then you can toggle "Do not check spelling or grammar" for each document language.

I don't use Word spellcheck myself, but this seems to work. Though in practise the solution is only usable for bilingual tables such as a CAT tool would produce (language-specific text needs to be easily selectable).

In Word, if you are able to, select the entire document and change its language to something and check the box "do not spellcheck". Then, select the Russian text, and change it's language to Russian, and do not check the box "do not spellcheck".

I believe you can change all Russian text to the Russian language using a wildcard find/replace operation in Word. I haven't tested it but I think this would work:

1. In Word, press Ctrl+H, then click "More".
2. Add this in the "Find" field:
[АаБбВвГгДдЕеЁёЖжЗзИиЙйКкЛлМмНнОоПпРрСсТтУуФфХхЦцЧчШшЩщЪъЫыЬьЭэЮюЯяЂђЃѓЄєЅѕІіЇїЈјЉљЊњЋћЌќЎўЏџҐґӘәӨөҮүҚқҢңҺһҔҕҘҙҪҫҰұҶҷӀӏӁӂӃӄӅӆӇӈӉӊӋӌ]
3. Tick "Use wildcards".
4. Click in the "Replace" field.
5. Click Format > Language.
6. Select Russian and don't select "Do not check spelling".
7. Replace all.

#2 is basically all Russian letters plus a square bracket before and after it.

If you are not able to select the Russian text (i.e. it would be too cumbersome), then I'm afraid AI is your only other option.
