      Hi,

      I am working with US english InDesign source files that require language and grammar changes to UK and Canadian english. Is there a plugin or script that would do a find/change to convert all document text?

      Thanks!

      Andy

      You can make a list of the different spellings and put that into the standard FindChangeByList script — that'll take care of 'realise', 'colour', 'mailbox', and their 'ilk' ('like').

      For the 'grammar', however, it's unlikely one will ever find a computerized solution. It would boil down to translating from one language to another. If you check Google Translate, you will see their only choice is plain 'English' — no dialects available.
