Can't install extra languages to spell check

Hi,
In our office we have a English Windows 7. English spell check is working in IE10.
Now I want ie10 to check my spelling in Dutch.
I tried tools, manage add-ons, spell correction and there "Get more Spelling Dictionaries Online...".
That resulted in "additional dictionaries are not currently available. Please try again later.
What am I missing to get Dutch spell check working?
Kind regards,
Jeroen

Then changing your OS language would be of no use in any case. Would you be willing to tell us the name of the language in question?

Can Firefox change the language for spell-check automatically when I change my input keyboard in Windows?

I am an American, studying French and Spanish, on Windows 8.1. For typing in web forms (and in any other program), I installed Windows keyboards for French and Spanish. Windows lets me switch between keyboards easily, by either (a) an icon in the system tray, or (b) the key combo Windows Key + Space Bar.
In Firefox I installed a spell checker for French and Spanish. Very nice.
But when I switch between languages, to get the correct spell checker I have to right-click in a text field, then go to Languages and select my current language. A minor inconvenience.
It would be nice for Firefox to detect which keyboard I am using and switch to the appropriate spell checker automatically. Is it possible please?
I keep the user interface for both Windows and Firefox in English always.

Use different language and Spell check

Hello, just got an iPad to supplement my two Android phones, and like it so far...
Except for one thing that drives me nuts...
The spell check. I live in Scandinavia, but like to use English as my interface language. This causes major problems, when I write something in Danish.
Is there any way to have English as the interface language, but use another language for spell checking?
Also, is there a way to use two different languages in spellcheck? Its really annoying to have English words pop up as suggestions when I write something in a different language and vice versa...

From a user perspective this is wrong UX and lacks total support for multi-national companies, especially when the (national) keyboard layout differs from the (foreign) keyboard layout that is being forced to use if one wants the spell check to be performed in the foreign languge.
Let's take the following example. My language settings are set to English because I want my interface in English. The used keyboard layout is Flemish (=Dutch) (AZERTY). When writing emails the spell check is performed in Dutch since iOS uses the keyboard related language. This is fine as long as I write emails to people in Belgium which do read and speak Dutch. However when I want to write English emails (and hence would like English spell check) I am forced to switch my keyboard to English (UK). This is not really OK as switching the keyboard messes up the layout I am used to work with (English -> QWERTY).
Essentially, the selected keyboard (and keyboard layout for that matter) shouldn't have any impact on the used language for the spelling check. To be honest I can't remember of any application/OS used so far that applies this logic.
I really do hope that this gets fixed in some way (e.g. by adding the option to select the spelling check language) in a future update of iOS.

Change Language for Spell Checking in Mail

Hi,
as far as I could see from other articles here and on other sites, there is no easy way to change the language for spell checking in Mail. It's difficult to imagine that this is true, as in this global world switching from one to another language in different mails is (at least for non-US/UK/etc. users) an immanent need.
Thanks for letting me know if I am mistaken.

If what you are asking about is some kind of shortcut to avoid using the Edit menu, you are correct that nothing like that exists for Mail (or other Apple apps). I think if you use something like SpellCatcher you can switch via a single keystroke.
The fastest method I know of is through AppleScript. I personally use "quick and dirty" routines for shifting from French to English and vice versa, both in Mail and Safari. Your typical toggle-switch bare-bones app looks like this:
tell application "Mail"
tell application "System Events"
tell application process "Mail"
set frontmost to true
try
click menu item "Show Spelling and Grammar" of menu "Spelling and Grammar" of menu item "Spelling and Grammar" of menu "Edit" of menu bar 1
set fen to window "Spelling and Grammar"
click pop up button 1 of fen
set lemenu to menu 1 of pop up button 1 of fen
if selected of menu item "Français" of lemenu is true then
click menu item "British English" of lemenu
else
click menu item "Français" of lemenu
end if
click button 1 of fen
on error
beep 2
end try
end tell
end tell
end tell
Nothing fancy here! Compile it, keep it handy (in the dock for example), and a single click does the switch for you. You can make endless variations on this, even make it look kind of smart, with dialogs and all that, thus defeating the purpose.
AppleScript support is kind of sketchy so you have to use UI programming.
Cheers,

German as standard-language for spell check

How to set german as standard-language for spell check in safari?

I use Windows, and it is exactly as you said, Sir Hup.
I made the change, in the drop-down list in the dialog box, in my case from 'English' (which I have to assume is US English) to 'Australian English'.
The problem I am encountering is that making that change doesn't stick for the browser as a whole, but only for the input box on the tab, the dialog box was opened on.
How do I get the change to apply for spell checking in the browser as a whole?

How can add Greek Language to spell-checking dictionary?

How can I add a new language in the spell-checking dictionary that is not the given options, specifically Greek?
And if there is a way can I do it to other applications as well (Safari, Textedit etc.)?

Spell checking is not an application feature but a system one.
When a checker is installed, it is available for every modern application.
Is Grrek available in the list of languages available from
System PrefPane entitled International ?
If itsn't, install it.
Maybe this will connect a spellchecker too.
If it doesn't, grab a checker from cocoaSpell.

Quick change of language for spell check

Hi everyone, I am a translator and use three languages on my MacBook Air and swap from one to another 100+ times a day. It's a bit annoying to change the spell check using right click, going to the grammar section, searching for the language... Is there a faster way to do it? Any shortcut? Or maybe I can create one. I cannot find this information and I'd appreciate any help.

Nothing you can do in Safari as far as I know.
In Pages 4 you can tag any section of text by language using Character Styles activated by keyboard shortcut. Pages 5 is useless (unless you are writing in Arabic/Hebrew).
Aside from Pages 4 you should use Word or LibreOffice where I am pretty sure you can also easily tag text by language. For Word questions you need to go to

How to edit the selectable languages for spell checking?

Hallo Mozzila Community
After using Firefox nightly 23 on Chakra Linux via bundle and I think it messed up my settings of the spell checker via Firefox sync.
The Problem pop up on openSUSE and Chakra Linux but not In Kubuntu 12.04(it has separate language packs).
I want to have German and English GB and maybe Bosnian or Croatian spell checker but I can not select it via right click -languages.
Now I have on both Chakra Linux and openSUSE 12.3 Firefox 20 by default maybe 30 languages installed but I can not select the language I want.
For example on Chakra Linux Firefox 20 I have only German variants selectable,German Luxenbourg,German Belgium ... and so and I can not select other language via add-on or about:config spellchecker.dictionary; it stay alwas on a German variant so I need to edit the right click language selector to bring it to work.
2.Example on openSUSE can not select German and En_GB but I can select a bunch of other languages I do not need in the right click languages selctor.
Both are Firefox 20 with openSUSE KDE modifications and have all available spell dictionary installed.
So how can I edit the list of selectable languages on the right click-languages?

There is a difference between language packs that affect the Firefox user interface and spell check dictionaries.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Language_packs
At least one dictionary should be installed and have a check mark to indicate that it is selected.
*Open the "Add Dictionaries" link to install a dictionary if you do not have one.
*Make sure that [X] "Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu is check-marked.
You can look here for dictionaries:

Can i change the dictionary for spell checking

Hi,
I am using the trial version of robo help and I am testing
how the support for german is.
I changed my project to german (file / project setings /
language). The result up to now is, that there is german spell
checking, but the dictionary used doesn't know all words that I' m
using. Of course I can add word by word to the dictionory, but I
dont't like to do this hard job.
Is there a way to use the dictionary which MS Word is using,
which would be very fine for me?
If anyone can help me, thanks for this.
Kindly regards
Fritzj

Hi all
I did a bit of digging around and here is what I've
discovered. Hopefully it will help?
I am using Word 2003, so the method outlined here is for that
version. Note that I'm not a particularly rabid Word user, as I
tend to avoid it if at all possible, so I suppose other versions
may differ. Additionally, I'm assuming here that you are referring
to the personal dictionary and not one that is supplied by virtue
of installing Word or some other component.
In Word, I located the personal dictionary. (Tools >
Options... > Spelling & Grammar tab > Custom
Dictionaries... button) This listed the "Full path" of
C:\...\Application Data\Microsoft\Proof\CUSTOM.DIC. I find this
mildly amusing, as I can't truly see the "full path" and am left
wondering what lies between C:\ and \Application Data. I mean, ...
could be anything, no?
So on a hunch, I looked in the following location:
C:\Documents and Settings\Rick Stone\Application
Data\Microsoft\Proof
As luck would have it, there was CUSTOM.DIC all big as life
and twice as natural.
Suspecting it was a simple ASCII text file as the RoboHelp
HTML personal dictionary is, I tried opening it using Windows
Notepad. Sure enough, it popped open. Seems to simply list terms
with no other information.
So at this point, we know how to access the contents of the
personal dictionary for Word 2003. Now let's look at RoboHelp HTML,
shall we?
In RoboHelp HTML, you click Tools > Spelling Options...
> Dictionaries tab. Here, you should see Personal Dictionary.tlx
listed in the left panel bearing the label of "Used dictionaries:"
(Sorta sounds like a library sale, eh?) To the right of the file
name, in the same pane, you should see the path listed. Mine reads:
file://C:/Documents and Settings/Rick Stone/Application
Data/eHelp/Lexicons/Personal Dictionary.tlx
I opened it using Windows Notepad and here is what I see:
#LID 30840
1boffo i
2xzxz azxzx
3ppp ApPp
4azx cxza
5winnie CWiNnIe
6garbo e
I have some really odd terms in there. And for good reason!
During my initial spelunking, it appears that a particular
structure is in place. So I tested by adding terms along with
different options for each term. The terms listed are matched to
the option used when you click the Modify... button on the Spelling
Options dialog.
1boffo i
1boffo is the term and the i means "No action" is the option
used for the term.
2xzxz azxzx
2xzxz is the term and the a means "Auto Change" is the option
used for the term. The zxzx following the a indicates the term to
automatically change to.
3ppp ApPp
3ppp is the term and the A means "Auto Change (Preserve
Case)" is the option used for the term. The pPp following the A
indicates the term to automatically change to.
4azx cxza
4azx is the term and the c means "Change" is the option used
for the term. The xza following the c inidicates the term to offer
to change to.
5winnie CWiNnIe
5winnie is the term and the C means "Change (Preserve Case)
is the option used for the term. The WINnie following the C
indicates the term to offer to change to.
6garbo e
6garbo is the term and the e means "Treat as misspelled" is
the option used for the term.
Sooo, having looked all that over, it would seem as simple as
copying the contents of the original Personal Dictionary from Word,
then opening the Personal Dictionary from RoboHelp HTML and pasting
the terms in. Then try modifying them a tad by inserting an "i"
following the term. I'm not sure if a tab is what was used between
the term and the i, so it may take a bit of trial and error.
Hopefully this helps a bit... Rick

How do I change the default language for spell-checker please?

I have seen the instructions below but cannot find the Personalization section?
I currently have a US English spell-checker, I need a UK English one.
Changing The Default Language
Make sure you are on your homescreen.
Tap on the Settings app to open the Settings App.
Scroll to the Personalization section.
Tap on Language.

Have just found that if you select Install Language Pack but then, do NOT download it, just below and to the right of "Download Now" is "View other versions".
Click on that and the second item is Version28.0
Hover your mouse on that and you get " + Add to Firefox" - so select that.

Non - American English Language Mail Spell Check?

I am curious, is there a way to set up spell check in Mail so that it corrects for Canadian English instead of US English? Pages, does this - and in fact for numerous languages - nicely, but I haven't seen where one can do this in the Mail app. You know, odd items like "travelling" vs "traveling" or "colour" vs. "color". That sort of thing. Our British friends must have encountered similar issues, come to think of it. What do you all do?
Thanks,
john

Spot on, Tom! Good that you mentioned the 2 parts to the solution, because when I only changed the spelling in Prefs/Language, etc. nothing took place. I needed to also go to Edit/Spelling etc. as you point out. Also, I shut down and re-booted to enable everything.
Thanks kindly,
john

How do I get Pages to recognize the Norwegian language in spell-check?

I'm Ameican and I got my beautiful MacBook air with me in Norway. I use Pages to write notes and do homework, but it doesn't have Norwegian as a language amunst the spellcheck dictionary. It has Swedish and Danish ofcours, but it's not the same. Is there any way to get a Norwegian (bokmål) dictionary for Pages?

You may also add OpenOffice spell checkers, there is a long list of languages, including Norwegian. These may be used with other apps too. Downloaded OO dics have the extension .oxt, manually change it to .zip, confirm when asked that you really wish to do this. Open the resulted folder and take from there .dic and .aff files, and move them to /Library/spelling. You may thus have as many spell checking dics as you wish. They may be selected in all the apps based on the Cocoa engine, including Pages.
In the attached screenshot, in the lower part you may see these dics.
P.S. I am not very familiar with Norwegian, but it seems the article does not specify how to download and install OO dics.

Is it possible to add languages for spell check in pages?

I was surprised to find that even though I bought iwork 09 in Norwegian, Norwegian is not on the list of languages one can choose from in the inspector, and I can not find the possibility of choosing norwegian spell-chek either??
Is there anyway to add languages to the spell-check function in pages??
grateful for tip (if there is a basic function i have overlooked) or other experiences!
BR

You actually have a choice of both Norsk Nynorsk and Norsk Bokmål.
First select your text then:
+Inspector > Text (T tab) > More > Language > Norsk Nynorsk / Norsk Bokmål+
The method is to label the language you want to spell check with its native dictionary. So having done the above, when you spell check it will now use the Norwegian dictionaries.
see p 115 +Working with Spelling Suggestions+ in the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf downloadable from under the Help menu.
If you don't see the Norwegian options it is because you haven't added them in the International preferences in your System preferences:
+Menu > Finder > System Preferences… > International > Language > Edit List… > Norsk Nynorsk and Norsk Bokmål > OK+
If you drag them to the top of your language list they become the System language. If you leave them lower down they are available in other menus such as Pages Inspector palette.
