After you record the macro, stop the macro recorder and edit the macro to include the LanguageID property.

The following sample macro was recorded to find the word "test." In this example, the LanguageID property has been added and the LanguageID constant has been set to English (United States).

   Sub FindLanguageProofing()
      Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
      With Selection.Find
         .Text = "test"
         .Replacement.Text = ""
         .Forward = True
         .Wrap = wdFindContinue
         .Format = True
         .MatchCase = False
         .MatchWholeWord = False
         .MatchWildcards = False
         .MatchSoundsLike = False
         .MatchAllWordForms = False
         'Change the constant, wdEnglishUS, to
         'the language constant you want to
         'include as part of a search criteria.
         .LanguageID = wdEnglishUS   '<---Add this line.
      End With
      Selection.Find.Execute
   End Sub
