set check spelling language default

[tracubo]

hi all,
i'm italian but i like to have fedora in english language, without any translation.
I have a problem: i'ld like to set the check spelling in gnome to italian by default, but i don't know how to do. When i use pidgin or pan (newsreader) the check spelling is always set to english and i need to switch to italian all the time.
Is there a way to set italian check spelling by default?
Thanks a lot
Nico

It is likely application specific.

For pidgin : http://plugins.guifications.org/trac/wiki/switchspell

Here is a (old) blog post on how to compile the plugin :

With firefox you can set the language in the options panel, and the spell check in about:config (hint : spellchecker.dictionary) .

I don't know whether it's correct to raise an old thread, but I have exactly the same problem.

Isn't there a way to set a language (other than the system-language) as default in gnome check-spelling?

Thanks for your answer ^__^
