That's dependent on the browser, I think. I use Maxthon, and I believe I have to switch dictionaries manually.

Everything switches over to Italian easy enough using IE on this machine (Win 8.1 + IE 11).

...

I've just used Team Viewer to try it out on a Win 7 machine, upstairs (which is obviously too far to walk, you understand), but that's only got a never-updated version of IE 8, and I can't even find where to start the spell-checker functions.

Maybe it's IE-version dependent, rather than OS version. I shall try to find the IE updates I rejected, and install them.

heh. I've changed my keyboard and dictionary back to English, but the right-click menu is still in Italian.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
