I have opened the file in TextWrangler and have seen a mixture of \lang english and \lang french. I have deleted all of them using a search and replace (the default language is French anyway) and saved the doc. Now everything seems in order again and I do not see any wavy red underlines for the text in French.
I can see them for the text in English. When I tried to mark them as English, I have seen the contextual menu does not contain the Language item (I imagine that this is due to the fact that my text is now monolingual). So, if I understand well, when you start a new document and put into it a first chunk in another language, you have to go through the Paragraph Settings/Customized/Language, instead of Language in the contextual menu. Afterwards the Language menu item becomes visible, since Lyx detects that your document contains at least two languages. Maybe Lyx is trying to be too smart here, no? IMHO, it would be nice to have this Language menu item from the start (supposing that it effectively does what it is supposed to do :-) ). Am I the only one to think like that (if this is the case, I could customize my contextual menu in Lyx I imagine, I have never tried this? 2011/9/19 Stephan Witt <st.w...@gmx.net>: > Am 19.09.2011 um 18:48 schrieb Murat Yildizoglu: > >> Hi, >> >> I am using Lyx 2.0.1 under OSX.
