Dear Colleagues,
Could somebody recommend how to mark out different languages in a document? Does a spell checker-based macro or application or whatever exist, which can mark out the languages in real time?

After a very brief online research, not being an IT engineer, I've seen that these tools are called "language tagger," "language guesser"; there are plenty of detailed descriptions of algorithms.

Find/Replace->Format->Language : Replace selected language with some special format

Then set cursor to "Replace" text field, open Format and select some specific formatting for the chosen language, for example "Highlighted".

I used this for bilingual documents (Italian/English). Highlighting Italian text and then removing it (Find/Replace "Highlighted" to "") I evaluated the volume of English text.
However consider that language recognition is not 100%, especially for non-translatable text (numbers, etc.).

Unfortunately, in my fully and properly licensed MS Word 2003 something there should be missing, since no format replacement takes place even in a couple of lines (one line in English, another in Italian). If I set Italian (with or without spellcheck), it highlights nothing. If I select English US or GB (with or without spellcheck), it highlights both lines. Thank you a lot anyway for your attention,
Gennady
