OneNote language proofing when using copy/paste

Question

Hi,

I'm an happy user of OneNote for iPad and iPod, but unfortunately I've got an annoying problem with copy/paste from other apps (mainly Safari, but I get the same exact behavior with Pocket and Evernote). Keyboard language is usually set to italian, sometimes to German, sometimes to en-us, and  language proofing works ok when just typing. But when  I copy some text and paste it to a new or existing page in OneNote, no matter what the current language the keyboard is set every pasted text is always treated as if it was English, thus resulting in all the text being red underlined if  it's  italian or german text.  

Can someone  help me to circumvent this (annoying) behavior?

This happens on both iPad and iPod running iOs 7.1.1, I've just updated OneNote app to 2.2.1 but it didn't solve the issue.

Ciao e grazie 

Laura

Hi JairOV

Thanks for your reply. I already had a look at the topic you linked, but it's not the same problem; I have no problems whrn using OneNote on my windows 7 PC, the problem arises only when using OneNote for ipad and ipod.

I assume that OneNote for these mobile devices derives the language property from the keyboard's language you're using, at least it seems to work this way, and it's fine for every text I type. It's the copy/paste action that doesn't take into account the language of the origin nor the language property of the   page/note I'm pasting to. Every pasted text is invariably pasted as english text.

ciao,

Laura
