For some reason, when I type english in the browser, I'm a Dane, most words get the red line under, and wants to be a Danish word instead. This is very annyoing as I write in english most of the time, it works fine on my stationary, but is a problem on my laptop, which I use in my schooltime.

You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages sub menu. At least one dictionary should be installed and have a check mark to indicate that it is selected.

  • open the "Add Dictionaries" link to install a dictionary if you do not have one.

The spelling checker is enabled if [X] "Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu has a checkmark.

You can enable or disable spell checking globally:

  • Options/Preferences -> Advanced: General: Browsing: "Check my spelling as I type"

You can look here for dictionaries:

Using two languages can be troubling.

You are probably using the Danish spellchecker. You should also install the English as well. Switch between them as needed.
