I'm based in the UK and I'm designing a course that has a lot of text entry variables. The problem I'm having is that if a user adds text in the text entry boxes in the course, browsers that pick up spelling mistakes are showing UK words as mistakes. So for example if a user types recognise it shows the red line underneath but recognize is fine.
Is there anyway to change so the output storyline file thinks that the language is English (UK) instead of US?
Thanks for taking the time to reply. I looked at the html pages you suggested, but the code wasn't there (I'm using Storyline 2). I added the code in anyway into the story_html5.html page between the following tags <html> <head>. Saved it and tested it, but I still got the same issue.
Have you looked into the grammar/spelling options for the browser? That's where the errors are being picked up - so I'd look at what you can advise users to modify there.
Storyline will evaluate it based on what you set up as potential answers, regardless of language.
I checked that and you are right it was picking up based on the language selection. Presumably even if you added a tag defining that the language is GB in the code, the browser would override this based on the browser settings?

Hi Matthew,

Any other ideas? Thanks,

Thanks for your help with this.

No problem, Jack!
I think you're right, as with most things like that the browser has the ultimate control and say over things like that!
