      The story of my document is in 8 languages on different layers. With dynamic spelling turned on i want to get rid off the red wavy line underneath the company name, personnel names, etc. To do that i add those names to my user dictionary. But it seems every language has it’s own user dictionary and i have to add those names for all the languages separately.

      One way to get rid of spell check problems is marking these names with [No Language]. However, as a side effect ID will stop hyphenating them. (Which is usually not a problem. But it is a side effect nevertheless.)

      You could also mark the names with the *same* language — that way you only have to add them to a single language dictionary.

      If you are using paragraph styles, and the styles for all different languages are derived from a single parent style, you could check if it’s worth adding a GREP style that applies this One Language To Rule Them All.

      Thanks, Jongware

      What about using a custom dictionary? I discovered that it is possible to add a custom dictionary tagged for all languages. So far it works well.
