Question

My MS Office 2010 is in Dutch. Most of the time I write in Dutch and I use the spell checker of Word and Outlook. Will Grammarly get confused or interfere with text in other languages?

Unfortunately, Grammarly only supports the English language. Because of this, it could either count all the Dutch words as misspellings, or just not work at all.
