  • Croatian (or any foreign language) spell check and dictionary

    What do people from non-english speaking countries do with OS X's limited dictionary.app?
    I am specifically talking about the Croatian language (Hrvatska), although would be happy to hear from anybody from any country on how they solved the dictionary/spell check issue for their own language.
    I am struggling to find a list of Apple Dictionary.app plugins or extra dictionaries to install.
    Now I know MS Office 08 has a Croatian dictionary (altho I can't really get it working) but what about native OS X apps?
    I have found a 3rd party solution called CocoAspell (free) but am having limited success with it.
    I would even be prepared to build a Croatian dictionary plugin for Dictionary.app if somebody could link me to some sort of instruction set.
    I'm surprised Apple have not gone to the trouble of building more dictionaries for Dictionary.app
    What do Russians, Chinese, Hungarian, Brazilian, Italian eetc etc do when they want a spell checker / dictionary for their language? Buy MS Office 08???
    How does Apple resolve this issue (esp the spell checking) in apps like Pages?
    In my hours of research into this area it is clear Apple have not really addressed this issue despite the fact it would be so easy for them to solve.
    Can anybody help me out / point me in the right direction?
    thanks

    As a matter of fact I found the working Cro dictionary at the same ftp link you provide above shortly before you posted it. Nevertheless your great efforts are fully credited. Thanks for your excellent assistance!
    I have also been in contact with the developer of Dictionary Cleaner who tells me the 2.0 verison of his software will be able to import comma separated txt wordlists. Nice.
    Good as CocoAspell is I feel Apple should already have integrated this functionality, together with downloadable dictionaries from their site, into OS X.
    I was unable to get a working Cro dictionary, or Custom dictionary, working in Office 08 for Mac. Interstingly the windows veriosn of the product offers the full gamet of proofing and spelling tools for the Croatian language (and manay, many others).
    So both Apple and Microsoft are guilty of letting down their International customers. I am unimpressed by both. How difficult would it be for Apple to add better sprell checking and MS to port their proofing tools for office to the Mac version.
    For the record (and MBU developers): When you change the language in Office 2008 for Mac to Croatian (and prob many of the other languages in the list) ALL the spell checking stops and any Custom Dictionaries are ignored.
    Switching back to English restores spell checking but then the Custom Dictionary is opened with Roman text encoding and all the special letters in the Croatian alphabet are ignored, thus rendering the Custom Dictioanry list only 30% effective since 70% of the words in the language contain special characters.
    The develoepr of Dictionary Cleaner should consider these sorts of problems regarding the text encoding of word lists.
    Finally I'd just like to mention the confusing nature of Croatian text encoding:
    The 'input menu' tab of the international System Preference pane would seem to imdicate Croatian is Unicode. Although encoding text files in Unicode-8 mangles the characters. As it does too using another text encoding called Croatian (Mac OS). The encoding that actually works is Central European (Windows Latin 2). Go figure.
    If anybody knows anything about the subject of text encoding I'd love to know more. Useful links also welcome
    So in conclusion - Come on Apple!, sort it out with interbational sprell check.
    p.s. more downloadable non-English dictionaries for Dictionary.app too please!

  • Pages spell check and Mac dictionary

    I find it annoying that Pages' spell-check is not synchronized with Mac Dictionary/Thesaurus. There are words I type that are shown as misspelled, but exist in the Dictionary program. Why not sync the two? It's annoying how many legitimate words Pages thinks are misspelled.

    bk,
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    I completely agree. OS X's dictionary and thesaurus are excellent, and it would be nice to have them integrated into Pages spell-check and learned words functions.
    Please leave feedback for the Pages team.

  • How to create a text area with spell check and other functions similar to word?

    I want to allow users the ability to copy and paste their content  on to the site.  The problem is giving them the option to use spell check and other word like features to my site.  My goal is to develop some thing  similar to how we post our question in this forums.  

    Some old and some new.

    You realize you'll need to use server-side scripts and a database for this.  Instead of re-inventing the wheel, you might just want to install WordPress, Drupal or Joomla on your site.

  • Writing in pages in Afrikaans. Spellcheck keep on correcting to dutch. Switched off spell check and checkeed keyaboard settings. Where do I get languages other than what Apple offer and where is the dictionary, Library, spelling files.

    Writing in pages in Afrikaans. Spellcheck keep on correcting to dutch. Switched off spell check and also looked in System preferences - keyboard. this stops the "Auto-correct" but does not help me with Afrikaans or other language spell check.  Where do I get languages other than what Apple offer and where is the dictionary, Library, spelling files.

    You are basically limited to what Apple deigns to offer.
    Try LibreOffice [free] which has a huge selection of languages.

  • How do I get spell check back on after firefox was updated? Thanks

    How do I get spell check back on after Firefox was updated?

    Not all locales come with a dictionary installed due to licensing reasons.<br />
    If you do not have the en-US locale then check that you have a dictionary installed (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and selected.
    You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu.<br />
    You can open the "Add Dictionaries" link to install a dictionary if you do not have one.<br />
    Make sure that [X] "Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu has a tick.<br />
    You can enable or disable spell checking globally:
    * Tools > Options > Advanced : General: Browsing: "Check my spelling as I type"

  • Onscreen font size for "spell check" and "font"

    How do I increase the onscreen font size for "spell check" and "font"? I just tried to spell check a document and the font size was so small I can't see what it says. Also, when you click on 'font' to change it, I wish the list of fonts was larger so I could see it clearer. I have pretty good vision so it's not that, it's just the size of the font....it must be at least 6! Thanks for your help.

    Hi, Diane. I don't know what sort of display you're using, but it sounds like you have a flat LCD display. At any resolution lower than its maximum, a flat-screen LCD display is always blurry, and the lower the resolution, the blurrier it is. This is because unlike a CRT display, an LCD has a fixed number of physical pixels in it that can't be changed. If you instruct it to "pretend" it has a smaller number of larger pixels by setting it for a lower resolution, each of the "pretend" pixels has to be made up of several real pixels instead of just one, and no pixel can be (for example) half white and half blue: a pixel is an indivisible unit that is always all one color. So the only way the hardware can use several pixels to represent one larger one is to gradate the colors of those pixels as best it can to approximate the intended image, and that inevitably spreads the gradation out — which is exactly what blurring is. This is just an inbuilt property of LCD displays, not a defect that needs to be (or can be) fixed. The solution is to buy a display that works well for you at its highest resolution — which will probably mean a lower-resolution display than you have now.

  • InDesign cs6 spell check and master pages

    I have created a set of master pages for a template in InDesign cs6. When I create a document from this template and apply "spelling", the spell check goes through every master page before moving to the document. How can I stop spell check from going to master pages unless, of course, the master page is highlighted? I have tried locking all master page objects and have also tried selecting the option of not allowing selection of master page locked objects. I have allowed, and disallowed, the override on master page items Nothing seems to work. I would like "spelling" to apply only the pages in the document, or only the selected page in the document.

    If you go to Edit>Spelling>Check Spelling
    You get a dialog box - the only options are for All Documents, Current Document, Story, To End of Story, or Selection
    These are the options for checking spelling, ignore masters is not an option, unfortunately.
    But you can select a range of text and use the Selection option to check the spelling.
    Hope that helps.

  • How to implement the spell check in oracle forms 10g or 6i...

    How to implement the spell check in oracle forms.
    Is there any different method is there.
    Please help me....
    Praveen.K

    Here is one different from Jspell..
    In 6i client/server you can call MS Word spell checker using OLE. Below sample code for 6i.
    For 10g you will need webutil to use same code. install webutil and just replace "OLE2." with "CLIENT_OLE2."
    PROCEDURE spell_check (item_name IN VARCHAR2)
    IS
       my_application   ole2.obj_type;
       my_documents     ole2.obj_type;
       my_document      ole2.obj_type;
       my_selection     ole2.obj_type;
       get_spell        ole2.obj_type;
       my_spell         ole2.obj_type;
       args             ole2.list_type;
       spell_checked    VARCHAR2 (4000);
       orig_text        VARCHAR2 (4000);
    BEGIN
       orig_text := NAME_IN (item_name);
       my_application := ole2.create_obj ('WORD.APPLICATION');
       ole2.set_property (my_application, 'VISIBLE', FALSE);
       my_documents := ole2.get_obj_property (my_application, 'DOCUMENTS');
       my_document := ole2.invoke_obj (my_documents, 'ADD');
       my_selection := ole2.get_obj_property (my_application, 'SELECTION');
       ole2.set_property (my_selection, 'TEXT', orig_text);
       get_spell :=ole2.get_obj_property (my_application, 'ACTIVEDOCUMENT');
       ole2.invoke (get_spell, 'CHECKSPELLING');
       ole2.invoke (my_selection, 'WholeStory');
       ole2.invoke (my_selection, 'Copy');
       spell_checked := ole2.get_char_property (my_selection, 'TEXT');
       spell_checked :=SUBSTR (REPLACE (spell_checked, CHR (13), CHR (10)),1,LENGTH (spell_checked));
       COPY (spell_checked, item_name);
       args := ole2.create_arglist;
       ole2.add_arg (args, 0);
       ole2.invoke (my_document, 'CLOSE', args);
       ole2.destroy_arglist (args);
       ole2.RELEASE_OBJ (my_selection);
       ole2.RELEASE_OBJ (get_spell);
       ole2.RELEASE_OBJ (my_document);
       ole2.RELEASE_OBJ (my_documents);
       ole2.invoke (my_application, 'QUIT');
       ole2.RELEASE_OBJ (my_application);
    END;Call it like this: SPELL_CHECK ('BLOCK.MY_TEXT_ITEM' );

  • How do I get spell check on Beta e mail?

    ''locking as a duplicate - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/789519''
    I am so disgusted with this site! I am trying to ask how to get spell check and you ask for confimation of my address but do not tell me how to do it! This is taking far too much time and I can't send a mail until I know the answer. This Beta site is not user friendly and freezes up every time I use it! I am really frustrated .

  • Spell check and word suggestion doesn't work Droid 4

    My wife and I both have Motorola Droid 4s. I have had mine for almost a year, and she has had hers just a week. After I factory reset mine to fix a spell check problem, I noticed that the spell check still doesn't automatically fix errors, and there is no word suggestion. Her's is doing the same thing. When I looked for this issue online, I found numerous other Motorola Droid 4 owners having the same problem.
    Since we text a LOT, this is certainly a major inconvenience. We would like to know if there is a fix for this issue, is it OS version and phone specific, and when an update/fix can be expected.
    Thank you for your time!

    The settings you gave me are the same as I and my wife have set except for the keyboard and input methods. For us, android is checked but disabled (gray), moto chinese input is checked, and swype is checked but disabled and gray. Same as it was when spell check and suggestions didn't work. Now ours is working but what is really interesting is that we never changed anything since it wasn't working. We just woke up the day after posting this and it was working. Hmm. I left the moto chinese checked because why tempt fate?
    Thank you for your reply and information.  That fact is, my spell check worked for a year and then suddenly it did not. My wife's didn't even out of the box, then the day after I post, ours works perfect. Coincidence? Who cares. =)

  • How can I change the Country and Credit card Apple ID without loose the app installed ?

    Hi, I move from Brazil to Qatar and keep using my account at Brazil since I have a credit card there and the old address.
    Today Ireceived a message when I was updating my app at my iPad that I should change my payment method that was rejected (???), I try to update and keep the same message... So now maybe better to use address and card from Qatar.
    I could not understand how can I change the country and shop since everything at the address is linked to Brazil.
    Also I'm afraid to lose the installed app...
    Please, a step by step will help a lot, I have a very low computer experience ...

    You won't lose apps that are installed.   You will lose the ability to update them
    Business with the App stores is restricted to those stores in your formal country of residence (your billing address) and a bank supported credit card from that same country.   You can buy and update apps with those details only in that country.
    If you have established residences and bank supported accounts in other countries you can also use those.   You can buy and update apps in those countries using those details.
    You cannot interchange them.   You cannot merge IDs or purchase details.
