French dictionary and spellcheck on Appleworks.

Please please please help ! I am new to Appleworks and have been a little disturbed to find I cannot check my documents written in French ( a lot of them ).
Is there anyone out there who can tell me if I'm doing something wrong. I have looked at other posts on a similar subject, but my "extras" folder doesn't seem to contain anythin but English dictionaries. I have also checked the installation disk, but to no avail. Do apple only provide spellcheck software relating to the country in which it is intended to be used ?
I write a lot of French documents, and would find it a little dissappointing to be let down by an otherwise great application.
Help please !
iMAC   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

Hello

To get french dictionaries, send a mail to my mailbox
koenig then a dot then yvan then an @ then tele2 then a dot then fr

  • French dictionary and other dictionaries

    Are they available to download from somewhere? I just want a decent french dictionary.

    ".lproj folders contain the localization files for the menus and dialogues for the particular app, not dictionaries. "
    Ahh, ok, that clears that up. What I was referring to there were possible language files inside the Dictionary application resources files.
    But you've actually hit the nail on the head, what was really looking for were language options for spelling & grammar correction. I'd assumed these were associated with the Dictionary application.
    Which spell checking system are you referring to? there are no relevant options under Edit in the Dictionary, nothing under the Finder and nothing in the System Prefs. What I'm looking for are global settings for Spelling & Grammar, not application specific. i.e. I have English as the base OS language but I frequently write in Swedish. I'd like automatic spelling and grammar correction wherever I type, in both English and Swedish, without having to configure every application.
    For example, if I type Swedish here then all the words are underlined in red as not recognised. There is no option in Safari to add Swedish spelling and grammar correction, it takes English as the default since that is the OS language.

  • Need integrated French dictionary function

    How does one activate, or add a dictionary function for spellchecking for foriegn languages?
    In particular;
    need to have MAIL, Word, and other apps be able to access French dictionary capabilities for spellchecker when using the French keyboard setting.
    Thanks for all suggestions.

    Most Apple apps: Edit > Spelling > Spelling > Dictionary
    Pages: Inspector > Text > More > Language
    Word: It uses its own spellchecking stuff. If you can't find it, you can try the MS forums:

  • Is there a French dictionary to download for OS X?

    I've read in some places that there is a downloadable French dictionary available on Apple website. Is it right?

    Do you mean a dictionary for spelling? Or a dictionary for looking up words?
    The Mac has included a French spelling dictionary for many years. Just go to Edit > Spelling and Grammar  and set your language to be French.
    If you are looking for a French equivalent of the New Oxford dictionary in Dictionary.app, then there is nothng comparable. I put together a French dictionary using the 1935 Dictionnaire de l'Académie Française. You can download it from: http://etresoft.com/etreref
    Unfortunately, no commerical dictionary publisher with a modern corpus has published anything for Dictionary.app.
    Disclaimer: Although EtreRef is free, there are other links on my site that could give me some form of compensation, financial or otherwise.

  • How do I activate a French dictionary in Safari?

    I love how double tapping on a word with three fingers in Safari brings up a dictionary definition. Is there any way I can get it to search a French dictionary as well as an English one? I suppose just a French one is as good.

    You must install the Translate extension (v. 1.0.5). Go to Preferences->Extensions, and pull down Get Extensions.

  • French dictionary

    I have seen other posts about this but no solution. I have a French document and wish to check the spelling. I go to the Inspector/text/language and select French. Then, I go back to my document and select "check spelling" and that French language in the Inspector goes back to English. Do I have to set French as my default language in System Preferences? I don't want to do that. Or, as I often do, am I missing something obvious? Thanks for any help.

    I had effectively the same thing as I couldn't make my dictionary stay in 'British English'. What I found in the end was that there are a number of attributes which get embedded in paragraph styles and dictionary is one of them.
    There's not anywhere to check all the attributes of any given style, but if your little triangles turn red and you can't work out why, it's probably because you've changed something somewhere and you're being invited to accept or reject is as a change to a style.
    Obviously the 'select all and switch to French dictionary' works, but you may find it reverts if you start typing new text in your default style, so you may want to save a new style called 'French text' or something similar with the French dictionary choice embedded.
    Does this make any sense?

  • Medical dictionary or spellchecker?

    I'm wondering if anyone knows of a medical dictionary or spellchecker for pages? I have two for Word (Dorland's and Stedman's) - is there any way to add these where they will be recognized by Pages (or the rest of Apple's spellchecker-dependent apps?)
    I use Mellel and Notebook, as well as Pages, and would prefer not to have to use Word for my writing needs. Too darn slow and, well, general uck.
    Thanks!

  • How can I have a FRENCH dictionary in Leopard?

    I wrote french text, so I would need a french dictionary. How can I add a french dictionary to the Dictionary application?

    I wrote french text, so I would need a french dictionary. How can I add a french dictionary to the Dictionary application?
    You can't. However there is a Dictionary Development Kit in the Leopard XCode Tools, so one might be available in the future if someone produces it.
    If you are talking about spell checking, Dictionary.app is not involved. Just go to Edit > Spelling and Grammar and there is a place to change the dictionary.

  • Office X French Dictionary? Spelling/Grammer? Help!

    I know this really doesn't belong here but I'm not finding anything on Microsoft's website and I'm wondering if someone would be able to help me out. I'm working on a French project right now and I used to be able to check spelling/grammer in French on my PC, however on my PowerBook I'm finding it difficult to figure out how to find that add-on or switch into that mode. Does anyone have the add-on and could send it to me? I can't find anything for it anywhere on microsoft's site! Thank you very much!

    Fine.
    I could find 13 files for French Dictionary, Grammer, Thesaurus etc. in "Office X/Shared Applications/Correction Helpers (?)" (the path is transalted from German, not sure about the correct English spelling).
    What do you find there? Are you sure that you have installed all components from the install CD?
    Anyhow, provide your email address, I will attach all 13 (7.4 MB, zipped 3.9) and mail them to you. I hope that they would work with your English version.

  • TA25361 I have a ton of documents and databases in AppleWorks v 6.0 that I can no longer open on my MacBook Pro.  Is there any way to recover this info?  Some documents can be opened and resaved with textedit, but not my database with all important addres

    I have a ton of documents and databases in AppleWorks v 6.0 that I can no longer open on my MacBook Pro.  Is there any way to recover this info?  Some documents can be opened and resaved with textedit, but not my database with all important addresses.

    I tried Peggy's List > Select All > Copy > Paste into an AW spreadsheet suggestion.
    In my case, pasting into the spreadsheet lost all text formatting (mostly text set to bold). The results of formulas were pasted, and checkboxes were pasted as "on" or "off". The DB did not contain any pop-up menus or radio buttons, but I expect they would transfer as a number showing the list position of the chosen item.
    Pasting the copied List view data into a Numbers table gave a result similar to that with AppleWorks. I selected B2 as the target cell (for top left cell of the pasted data) to avoid any effects of posting into a header row or column. Bold and regular text formatting looked the same as it had in AW's List view.
    Based on that, I'd slip the 'paste into an AppleWorks Spreadsheet step, and paste directly into a Numbers Table.

  • Customise table inconsistency between ABAP Dictionary and the databas

    Hi all,
    I have encountered a problem where by, I was not able to activate a table due to inconsistency between ABAP Dictionary and the database.
    After I run the SE14--> Check Database object. It has show that there is a missing Unique Index(Primary Index) at the Database Level, but at ABAP Dictionary it is there.
    I have try to recreate the primary index at the Database level, but failed. Because one of the primary key field is been dropped from this table.
    So now, may I know how can I still make this table Active again?
    Is it save to folllow the following solution that I found on internet?
    Syntax error in SDCC, table inconsistency between ABAP Dictionary and the database, transport error 8 during the generation of ABAP Dictionary. When you call Transaction SDCC, a termination occurs due to a putative syntax error because a table is not known or active. When you check this with the ABAP dictionary (SE11), you notice, that the table is active or inactive, however it is not possible to activate it. The activation might terminate with the error message 'Inconsistency between ABAP Dictionary and database'. A check of the affected object also delivers this error.
    Solution
    Proceed as follows:
    Log on as user DDIC
    Call Transaction SE14
    Enter the affected table name and
    select EDIT
    In the following screen, choose Table -> Reconstruct
    Confirm the execution
    Call Transaction SE11
    Enter the affected table name
    Display
    Activate
    Thanks.

  • I accidentally deleted Dictionary and can't find my install CD?

    I accidentally deleted Dictionary (and TextEdit, but I don't really use that one). ((And yes I emptied the trashcan))
    I thought they were just shortcuts, but I guess not.
    And now I can't use the three-finger tap to look things up. Is there any way to retrieve Dictionary without reinstalling?

    AGAIN! When I am playing scrabble I want to be able to go to Dictionary and Two Letter words when I am playing the game - these are being blocked much to my aggravation! How do I stop the blocking?

    Hmm, what site is this game on?
    Is the Dictionary part of the same page, or a separate page/add-on in Firefox, or a completely separate program?
