I have 7 child documents, the first four of these were created with English language set as default. Changing the spell check to British only underlines text as written by different language. This is done by changing both: Document -> Settings -> Language to British and Tools -> Preferences -> Default Language to British
Already written text keep their language, independently of the above settings.
The language still English as seen in the source code and spell check still apply American dictionary. More funny thing is that, I copied the text into a new LYX file with the new language settings but text is still checked using the English (American) dictionary while added text to same file is checked using British dictionary. For example it suggests some times to change (neighbor to neighbour) and some times (neighbour to neighbor) Hassan Khater
Language is a text property, you must change it using the text style dialog (Edit -> Text Style -> Customized) or using the minibuffer:
1) Select some text 2) Alt-x 3) language english<enter> Abdel
