Dictionary in other languages

Very strange but Pages only uses an English dictionary and I can't find a way to change that.
Quite annoing as I write in Dutch.
What to do?

Thomas,
Welcome to Apple discussions.
If you click on the Text inspector > More button, you'll see a language menu. You can switch to the language of your choice, save that as a style, then save the template so that your template will always spell check in Dutch.

  • Removing Wikipedia tab of other languages in Dictionary

    How can I remove the label of one wikipedia source from dictionary?
    Note that this language is not in the list of those, which can be removed by check bar,it's from the list of other languages.

    HI,
    Open the Dictionary application then from the Menu Bar, select Dictionary/Preferences. In that window scroll down and deselect Wikipedia. You have to scroll down, it's easy to miss.

  • Finally support of other languages in forthcoming Leopard?

    Does anyone know if Leopard will finally support other languages than English as well? I want to buy my parents a Mac and VoiceOver would be perfect for them if only Mac OS X would support German.
    Leopard is said to have a new voice technology, but I could not find out if this is restricted to English again.
    Why is an important feature like this not localized? Does anyone know the background?

    Hello Thomas,
    I've had a lot of success with Macs running Tiger in French, with added voices from Infovox iVox. The easiest way to get these is to buy VisioVoice from Assistive Ware — the language packs are bundled and include American English, British English, American Spanish, Canadian French, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Flemish, Spanish, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish and Swedish.
    There might be odd problems with non-localised voice tags, but you can usually kludge these using the VoiceOver pronunciation dictionary—with care!
    Other voices are available from Cepstral. Listen to samples from both sites, and see what you prefer. I'm aware that buying extra voices is an additional cost, but compared to the cost of Windows screen readers, this is trifling.
    As for Leopard, it certainly promises full localisation not only of the OS but also of VoiceOver. I don't know what other languages may be delivered with machines or local distributions of Leopard for installation on existing kit, but third-party voices shouild work just fine.
    Don't hesitate! Go for it! You won't be sorry!

  • Man pages in other languages

    Hi,
    Is it possible to install man pages in other languages (i.e. Spanish)? Bash shell seems to be working in Spanish but not man pages. I have checked and it only comes with some languages (Russian, German, etc.) Could it be possible to install them from any source?
    Thanks in advance

    Open Dictionary.app in the Applications folder and go to its Preferences.  There you will see what Apple provides and you can check the boxes to activate it.  If you want something more, you will have to find it on the internet and install it.

  • Dictionaries in other languages and translators

    Is Apple planning to make dictionaries in other languages available for iBooks? I think it would be a great way to practice reading in other languages! Either an ordinary dictionary in say, French, or a French to English translation dictionary. That would make me very happy.
    And the ability to turn the background black for night reading

    I'll have a French dictionary ready in a few days if anyone wants to beta test it.
    Assume that is for OS X? I'd be interested (tom at bluesky dot org).
    No, for the iPad/iPhone. I need to fix one last transition bug, build an icon, and I'm done.
    I've had a MacOS X version for a long time: http://etresoft.com/etreref.html
    (Note: “I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.” ) The MacOS X dictionaries are free, but there is other stuff there too.
    The iPad dictionary will be an expanded version of my Dictionnaire de l'Académie Française 1935. I've improved my cleanup and re-added words removed since the 1835 edition.

  • Is it possible to have English as the interface language, but use (and develope for) any other language/locale?

    Before installing Firefox, I need to clarify the following:
    The use of locales: I am a developer and my preferable language, for the interface, is English (though, it is not my mother tongue). But, I would like to be able to use any other language (including, the use of any dictionary) and develop for any language or locale. So, does the English version let me do the above mentioned?
    Or, eg, do I need to install the Hebrew locale, if I want to use the Hebrew dictionary?
    Or, is it possible to install different locales on the same computer (and for the same user, in Win XP)?

    You can install any dictionary is every locale, so that shouldn't be a problem if you use the English locale.
    If you want to check out the user interface or how the browser acts with an RTL locale like Hebrew then you need to install the language pack and switch to that locale.
    You can install additional language packs in any Firefox version.

  • How to use a dictionary for multi languages when displaying mess

    how to use a dictionary for multi languages when displaying messages??

    1st you have to define new messages in the dictionary:-
    1.     We have to open the application.
    2.     Functional administrator responsibility.
    3.     Core services.
    4.     Messages.
    •     Create message button.
    •     Now fill the name of the message that we want to call it from our code in the Code field.
    •     Fill the application name with short name of the application.
    •     Choose the language.
    •     Set the text you want to be displayed.
    2nd, Now in the CO in the in the process form request you will code throw new OAException ("application short name","Code").
    Now run and see the result.
    3rd we want to use Arabic messages, use the same one you have created for saving as an example but you choose duplicate and set the language Arabic.
    •     Run the page.
    •     Choose preferences.
    •     Current Session language = Arabic.
    Now you can see the result.

  • Can I get dictionaries for iBooks in other languages?

    It's a great feature in iBooks that I can mark a word I don't know and get an explanation from the built-in dictionary.
    And it would even greater to get the same support for other languages (e.g. french). Is that possible?

    Currently only English and Japanese have built-in support for looking-up words - you can download dictionaries from the store for other languages but they won't work in the same as those two i.e. you'd need to go into the book/dictionary yourself and find the definition.

  • Dictionaries for other languages?

    I have found only American English dictionary in my OS. I would like to add dictionaries for other languages (not translating dictionaries). Does anyone know where I can find more?
    Thanks.

    I have found only American English dictionary in my OS.
    For spell checking, 10.4 already includes dictionaries for Australian, British, and Canadian English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, and Swedish.
    If you are talking about Dictionary.app, it's possible to add dictionaries if you upgrade to 10.5:

  • JSAPI - other languages than English; MIDlet - settings loading; JSAPI - al

    Hello!
    I need to create application which uses speech recognition. At first I thought about using CMU Sphinx (PocketSphinx or, possibly, Sphinx4). Later I thought about JSAPI. (Sphinx somehow uses JSAPI but I don't know what is the difference between JSAPI and Sphinx).
    I have read almost all (up to 6.7.9) of the following tutorial: http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/speech/forDevelopers/jsapi-guide.pdf. Unfortunately I couldn't've found one important thing, i.e. how to create acoustic model for other language than English?
    Thanks in advance for your answers :-)!
    PS There are some other things which I'd like to know:
    1) How to load some settings from file (I guess nowadays configuration files are created with the use of XML but I dunno)?
    2) How to maintain algorithm which is used by MIDlet which involves JSAPI? I mean there are some different things which my MIDlet needs to do. I guess it is good habit to divide different goals into separate parts of code (due to object-oriented programming).
         In my case there are some different things:
         a) speech recognition of audio input, i.e. changing input audio stream into output text string
         b) analysis of that text string and according to this string choosing the proper transition in my algorithm
         In general I have written my algorithm on sheet of paper and it takes about ten A4 sheets of paper. Because of it I thought there should be some way to write this algoritm maybe outside the code, in some kind of file which would contain this algorithm. Maybe there is other good way to implement this algorithm, not necesarilly in the code.
         c) sending of results through httpconnection with the use of POST method
         d) receiving in on TomCat on server
    3) Which method should I use to receive the recognized speech? I found these:
         a) FinalRuleResult, b) Result -> getBestToken, c) getSpokenText, d) ResultToken of RuleGrammar
    4) Can you give me any full examples of JSAPI usage? (Not just short parts of code like in this JSAPI guide)?
    Greetins :-)!

    Praveen, Yes the infoobject is language dependent.  The problem did not happen in BWQ but came up in BWP.  so I am not sure at this time what is causing in production that didn't happen in BWQ.

  • B2Bconsole in any other languages than English?

    Does anyone know if there is a civilised way to localize the B2Bconsole GUI, to display in any other language than English?
    I have found no documentation nor settings, and not sure if there is any way to do it (except for decompiling the orignal one, or writing you own console...).
    thanks,

    Dheeraj,
    Sincerelly, I don't think you will have prepared translation to Polish , but maybe? If not, is there any possibility to create such a translation oneself?

  • How can I turn off other languages on my ipad running ios7?  It has Japanese or Chinese and the international keyboard is set to English.  Thank you.

    How can I turn off other languages on my ipad the next generation running ios7?  I have the international language set to English but it's showing a foreign language and sometimes it shows the foreign language with English.  Thank you.

    The complete backup and restore procedure is explained in the link above.
    If you don't want to do a restore, then your iPad may remain in the unstable state you have for the moment.
    You can change the country in the App Store. Have a look at the bottom of the App Store screen, you can change the country and also do the permanent change via Manage > Account.
    You can change the language in iTunes via General Preferences > under General tab.
