Yes, agreed, but unfortunately when there was no displayed listing of potential spelling errors, there was also no content in the spell checker display that identified the incorrectly assumed language.

In any case, it is enough to know what the problem is likely to be the next time the spell checker display is empty. Although you raise a good point that maybe the assumed language should be automatically displayed, to help others who might encounter the problem in the future.

FWIW, I recall one time that there were two different languages specified in the spell checker's language column (although any one word showed only one of the languages), some sort of variation of English. I'm not sure how that would have happened because the metadata field allows for only a single language type to be specified, but maybe within each html file within the ePub it is possible to somehow override the metadata-identified language. Anyway, I digress ...

Thanks again.
