I recently upgraded to Lion from Snow Leopard. In Snow Leopard, OS X would realize you're typing a foreign language and then stop underlining foreign words in red (which normally indicate misspelled words) because it understood it was a different language. The great thing is it detected the other language and auto-switched the integrated spell-check mechanism to underline incorrect words in that language.

Now that I'm on Lion, everything is the same except that autocorrect will attempt to correct, into English, what it perceives as misspellings, even though the entire paragraph is in Spanish, for example.

Here's a direct example. I started typing a few words in Spanish and they were all underlined red. As I continued, Lion understood this was Spanish and stopped underlining any words correctly written in Spanish. When I went to write the word considero, it auto-corrected it to "consider," which I clearly don't want when I'm typing in Spanish.

Can anyone tell me how to get Snow Leopard-like auto-correct behavior? Thanks!
