English dictionary add-on

I'm trying to install an english dictionary but after clicking "install" it asks me to restart my computer. So I click restart but it doesn't respond. When I use the restart function from the start menu, my computer does restart but the add-on dictionary is not "added on".
Can someone please help me with this? Thank you

Hi, thanks for getting back to me. I found a site: dictionary.com and have bookmarked it so I can access that site when I need to look up a word. I think my problem was I was trying to get a dictionary as an "add-on" (similar to a news add-on or a translator add-on) but I wasn't able to do that. Bookmarking the dictionary site works for me so I guess my problem has been solved.
(I'm still very new to cyberspace so if my explanation sounds completely "out there", that's the reason.)
Thank you again for your time

Can anyone tell me what the codes following dictionary entries are in the Australian English dictionary add-on?

Most entries have codes after them, eg:
abalone/MS
abase/LDSG
abaser/M
abash/LGDhS
abbreviate/nDGNS
aberrantes
aberration/SM
Abilene/M
abjure/yDNSnRG
I can't establish a pattern for them...can anyone tell me what they are for, and if they can be deleted?

That are flags to specify what kind of data that entry is and how it can be expanded with a prefix and suffix. The accompanying file *.aff define what those flags mean.

Add spanish-english dictionary

Does anyone know how to add a Spanish-English dictionary to the dict app in MBP Lion 10.7.5? I don't mind paying, but I'd like to be able to access it offline and with that 3-finger double feature while reading online. Thanks for the help!

Thanks. I have Ultralingua, but time and again I have found that it does not have the words I need. I think I need a dictionary with a lot more words, as my Spanish is fairly fluent. I often look a word up in Ultralingua, can't find it, and then have to open OS 9 and open my old Richmond dictionary, which always seems to have the word I need. But that process is very slow, and when a get a new computer (soon) I won't have OS 9 any more.

English - english dictionary doesn't work

I have Firefox 32 and Windows 7. My add-ons manager says that English - English Dictionary 1.5 is installed, but it isn't working. There's no "ABC" icon and clicking a word does nothing. What am I doing wrong?

You may try to uninstall and get the latest version. If you are still experiencing the problem, please try any other dictionary alternatives

German - English Dictionary to translate words in iBooks

Anyone know of a way to install a German - English dictionary that can be used to define words within iBooks? This functionality is in Kindle, would be useful to have it for my German iBooks as well.

No, Apple does not provide the kind of dictionary you want, and there is no way for users to add any so that they will work that way. But you can ask for it at
http://www.apple.com/feedback
There may be other ebook reader apps (e.g. Kindle, Nook, Kobo, Googlebooks, Sony) which have this kind of feature, but you would have to check them yourself.

Canadian English Dictionary

Does anyone know the procedure for installing the Canadian English dictionary in FrameMaker 9.0? We were able to install it successfully in 7.2 and 8.0, but the same procedure does not work for 9.0. The procedure we followed for 7.2 & 8.0 is as follows:
Modify installation
Scroll down to Canadian dictionaries and click the dropdown arrow
Choose the "remove" option (third option indicated with red X)
Then run the installer again, this time choosing the first option under Canadian dictionaries.
Open a new document, type "hoser" or "pogey" (specific Cdn words), and run the spellcheck to make sure that these words don't get picked up.
We were instructed to change the regional and language options settings to Canadian English in the Control Panel. However, the dictionary is still not working properly.

That is strange.<br />
I can't reproduce it on a en-US installation.
Which locale do you have installed?
The en-US locale that has its own dictionary or a en-GB locale that doesn't come with a dictionary?
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Datacleanse name parsing for the English dictionary

I am using the person_firm_en (English) dictionary for name parsing (Datacleanse for Data Services XI) for Canada data. There are many situations where the full name consists of 3 names and datacleanse parses the 2nd and the 3rd name into the 'family name' field. Thus, instead of parsing the 2nd name into the given_name2 field, it puts it with the last name into the family_name field. Some examples are:
Example 1 - ROBERT GRAHAM LEITCH
given_name1 - Robert
family_name - Graham Leitch
Example 2 - JEREMY HURON NEAL
given_name1 - Jeremy
family_name - Huron Neal
SAP's response to this issue is that each entry which is not being parsed out as given_name2 needs to have the person_firm_en dictionary entry edited to add it as a given name. This can also impact its parsing if this name appears as a last name.
Does anyone have any other suggestions or any rule/code that you have implemented to handle such situations?

Shenaz,
We have struggled quite a bit with the name parsing n the Data Cleanse (especially when using version 12.1.1). I wrote some custom functions that do name parsing and in many cases, especially for middle names, they seem to do a better job. Below is the code that returns Person1 Middle name from a passed in mixed name value. The functions CF_Name_Standardize_Replace_Chars and CF_Remove_Extra_Spaces contain find\replace tables and remove things like punctuation, MR, MRS, empty space, etc.
1 Have 5 other functions, to pull out First, Middle, and Last names of persons 1 and 2. They look very similar, the only different part being the last section where the word pattern is analyzed and the decision is made as to which word is to be returned.
I could get you code for the others if it would help.

Why can't I install the British English Dictionary?

I get the message "British English Dictionary could not be installed because it is not compatible with Firefox 4.0".
I'm trying to install the most recent version, Version 1.19.1, dated December 5, 2010, and supposed to work with Firefox 2.0b1 - 4.0.*.
The Release Notes state "This release updates the installer for compatibility with the new extension packaging format in Firefox 4 ".
But still it won't install and I'm stuck with the US dictionary. Anyone got any idea why?
I'm running Firefox 4.0 on Windows XP SP3

Are you installing the dictionary from the add-ons site?

English dictionary has disappeared with mountain lion (a complaint from Spain)

Hi,
I'm a Spanish Mac user and was a fond user of the excellent built-in English dictionary that came with Lion and with former operating systems. A couple of days ago I installed the new Mountain Lion and noticed that the former English dictionary had been replaced by a school-level Spanish dictionary. I felt betrayed and dumped, as I encountered no warning during installation that this was going to happen. And of course the Mountain Lion reviews I had read in the past weeks did not mention this problem, as it does not affect users from English-speaking countries. Has anyone experienced the same problem? What can I do? I have tried to recover and install a former version of the Dictionary app, but I haven't succeeded yet.
Besides, since I installed Mountain Lion Mail has become so slow that I now prefer checking email on the website. The connection between Mail and the new Address Book (now called Contacts) is also incredibly slow. In sum: the bunch of new iPad-inspired applications that are included in Mountain Lion definitely come with too many disadvantages. Sincerely, I wouldn't recommend to install it, unless these inconveniences are solved. Please, Apple, solve them quickly. This is just a disgrace.
Best,
Marta

That is not the case for any standard installation. Everyone should have all the old dictionaries, plus Spanish, German, and Chinese.
Have you gone to the Preferences of Dictionary.app and made sure all the boxes are checked?

Looking for a Bigger English Dictionary

I use 9.2.2, with AppleWorks 6.2.8, and am looking for a larger, English dictionary that I can put in my Dictionaries folder.
I've looked at after-market products, but they don't work well with 9.2.2.
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I have already been to VersionTracker. All the stuff for AW is after-market, and does nothing better than AW already does, when it comes to adding dictionary power.
