Hello,
I use to write a lot of emails in english and Brazilian portuguese everyday,
and would like to setup a keyboard shortcut to change dictionaries, once
Entourage doesn't distinguish the languages for itself, as Outlook does.

How can I do it?

Thanks

I fyou are using MacOS X 10.4 (Tiger) the System offers you the
possibility to set your own shortcuts:
System Preferences: Keyboard & Mouse:Keyboard Shortcuts
- Click on the + on the bottom of the window to add Entourage
- Enter the EXACT menu title of the command. In the case of French in -
Office run in English, I would enter "French" (without the quotes)
- enter the shortcut you want to use

Once you relaunch ENtourage, the shortcut should be active.

If you are in 10.3 or earlier, then you can't do a thing about it (there
might be some thrid party apps allowing you to hack into the shortcuts
out there though :-\ ).


I completely agree though: this SHOULD be something Entourage lets you
customize (or at least they should offer a shortcut).
I've always complained about the fact that Entourage was not
user-friendly when it comes to people writing in more than one language.
