In that case, I will set the xml:lang attribute on my &lt;topic&gt; elements to Dutch (xml:lang=&quot;nl-nl&quot;), but I use special elements to refer to the user interface of the software, for example &lt;uicontrol&gt;. The xml:lang attributes for my &lt;uicontrol&gt; elements will be set to &lt;en-us&gt;. The spell-checker will switch between my English and Dutch dictionary automatically.<br>
