- English
- French
- German
- Italian
- Korean
- Spanish
Service Pack 1 for Exchange Server 2003 adds even more language support, including the long-awaited Hebrew spell checking.

- Open Regedit and navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeWeb\OWA |
- Find or create a key called DisableSpellCheckOnSend with the type REG_DWORD.
If the value is set to 0x00000001 then users will not be able to select the option to automatically spell-check every e-mail that they send from OWA.
If the value is set to 0x00000000 then users will be able to select the option to automatically spell-check every e-mail that they send from OWA.
As with many of the OWA registry parameters, setting this parameter takes immediate effect; no service restarts required.
