Article ID: Q148488

The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Exchange Windows 3.x client, versions 4.0 and 5.0
  • Microsoft Exchange Windows NT client, versions 4.0 and 5.0
  • Microsoft Exchange Windows 95 client, versions 4.0 and 5.0
  • Microsoft Exchange MS-DOS client, versions 4.0 and 5.0

SUMMARY

The default dictionary for the International version of the Microsoft Exchange client is the American English dictionary, not the British dictionary.

MORE INFORMATION

You can change the spelling dictionary language by modifying the following registry entry: 

   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Exchange\Client\Options
   \DictionaryLangID
The setting for US English is 1033, and the setting for UK English is 2057.

A registry setting can be changed in the Exchange.stf file before the user installs the Microsoft Exchange client or afterwards by manually editing the registry.

If this registry entry is set, Microsoft Exchange will use the Language ID in the registry entry. If the registry entry is not set, spelling will function with the American English dictionary. Setup will not create this registry entry.

This information is also available in the release notes.
