# You need to install a foreign dictionary > [Microsoft Word can use multiple custom dictionaries](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/322198/how-to-add-a-custom-dictionary-in-word) to check the spelling of your documents. A custom dictionary allows you to supplement the main dictionary with additional words, such as names, specialized technical terms, foreign words or alternative spelling of some words. You can [buy foreign dictionaries in the Office Store](https://support.office.com/en-us/article/install-a-dictionary-77be8dd8-23a0-4e8b-a321-a6f40c9610a5). Or find them online. But [many languages are built in](https://itstillworks.com/add-french-dictionary-microsoft-word-5876058.html) and you just have to choose them from an internal menu.
