I just made an enchanting table, but i have no idea what to do to get the spell i want!
For example, i want the unlimited arrow enchantment, for my bow, but i always pick the wrong one :S
Search that on Youtube,cuz you need to get it on English,and you need to swap some stuff on the enchantment file.
No... the words that appear on the enchantment are completely random and do not affect the enchanment in any way. As for the actual enchanment, this is completely random too. You cannot pick enchantments.

There are two ways:
Intended way: Keep enchanting bows until you get the bow you want.
Cheating way: Before enchanting, save and quit and back up your savegame, return to the game and enchant, if you don't get the enchantment you want then reload the backup and try again, rinse and repeat. This only works in SP though, as far as I know.
Its completely random. Meaning lots of prayer and sacrifices to the Random Number Gods. Prepare for a fair share of weeping and gnashing of teeth as well, especially after spending 30 levels on a Sharpness I, Bane of MFing Arthropods II Sword.
The enchantment process is completely random. There's no way to game the system on this one; no changing files, no looking at letters. It's all just random.
Make books and then enchant them. When you get the enchantment you want, use your anvil to combine the book and the item. Remember, combining the book and item on the anvil costs some xp, but at least you can put exactly what you want on the item.

Bows are cheap to make, and the odds of getting Infinite is lightyears higher when enchanting a bow than enchanting a book, plus you are very likely to get another enchantments along with it like Power or Flame while a book gives you exactly 1 enchantment. The same goes for diamond tools really, especially if you do some trading in a village with blacksmiths to get tools without needing to find diamond ore.
The only times I would ever want to enchant books is if I want to put enchantments on an item that the table doesn't do, like Unbreaking on swords (Which I haven't done yet actually.).

Except you can't get sharp and bane on the same sword, as they're conflicting enchantments in the same category. The enchantments that conflict with each other are:
Silk Touch and Fortune
Sharp, Bane, and Smite
Protection and all the various forms of (x)-protection such as Fire Protection, Blast Protection, etc.

Ah, but you can then put what enchantments you want on each item from your enchanted books. We have a cooperative survival server on hard, so it doesn't matter if we get a duplicate as someone else will need it too. Not to mention that enchanted equipment wears out and/or gets destroyed, so having a backup isn't a bad idea.
It's randomized which ENCHANT (not "spell") you get, plus infinity (the enchant that gives unlimited arrows on a bow) is one of the hardest bow enchants to get, so good luck getting that one!

The words are just easter eggs and are random.

You think magic isn't real? Consider this: for every person, there is a sentence -- a series of words -- which has the power to destroy them.
