Hunspell dictionaries

Hi everyone,
I was going to install dictionaries for hunspell in order to use them with OOffice, texworks and KDE. Is there any system wide installation? Or didn't I see dictionary packages in the repository?
Would be glad to hear some comments.
Thanks, david

I use spell check, but not a single package system-wide...OpenOffice uses its own, Firefox uses its own, mutt uses its own, etc, etc...I think this is the case for most users because dictionaries are implemented in various ways by each of these applications.

  • How can I filter hunspell dictionaries?

    Hi,
    I've installed hunspell dictionaries of English language. It contains all possible flavours of English, including English/Botswana. Now, all those 22 flaovours are shown in my context menu, where the language should be selected. However I'm only interested in English/USA.
    How can filter out the dictionaries I do not use?
    Thanks!

    Bumped up in the hope to get an answer to my question.
    Thanks

  • Remove spellechecker dictionaries in Firefox

    Hello community,
    I need spellchecking in three languages in Firefox: English, German and Russian. Thus I installed the appropriate hunspell packages extra/hunspell-de, extra/hunspell-en and aur/hunspell-ru. But unfortunately each of them seems to include quite many different dictionaries, thus the language list is quite long (and sorted in a strange way):
    Such a long list makes switching to the needed language a bit uncomfortable, so I'd like to have only three entries, one for each language.
    I couldn't find any way to remove unnecessary dictionaries though. Does anyone know how to edit this dictionary list?
    Thanks in advance,
    PhotonX

    The problem is that hunspell is also used by LibreOffice and if I remove the hunspell dictionaries then I won't have spellchecking in LibreOffece. Of course there are downloadable dictionaries for LibreOffice as well, but I'd prefer using the hunspell ones, just remove the unnecessary entries somehow.

  • Why Won't Hunspell Work With Zero Width Spaces?

    Hello,
    I was excited to hear that Hunspell dictionaries are now supported in InDesign CS5.5 and I was able to try it out for the first time today.  Unfortunately I ran into some problems when using a dictionary for Khmer (the language of Cambodia - UTF-8 - using the World Composer).
    Khmer does not have spaces between words, and so to get around this issue (for line breaks as well as spelling/grammar checking), we use zero width spaces between words (U+200B).
    The Khmer Hunspell spelling checker dictionary works with zero width spaces in OpenOffice (http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/project/khmersbbic - I am the lead author of this Khmer spelling dictionary), but in InDesign (I manually added the dictionary - InDesign uses the Khmer dictionary files fine), the zero width space is not seen as a space that denotes a break between words, therefore words that are correctly spelled are jumbled together as if there are no spaces between them.
    Does anyone know how to get InDesign to recognize a zero width space to be a word seperator for spell checking purposes?
    Example of sentence correctly spelling using zero width spaces between words (But this is viewed as one long word in InDesign): បើសិនជាអ្នកចង់ទៅយើងអាចទៅបាន។
    Example of same sentence with words sperated by "real" space which then allows the Hunspell based Khmer dictionary to correct spelling but makes the text unuseable because Khmer does not have spaces between words): បើ សិន ជា អ្នក ចង់ ទៅ យើង អាច ទៅ បាន។
    Any help would be much appreciated.  I have already submitted a bug report to Adobe, but not sure how much that will help.
    Thanks again,
    Nathan

    Make a character style with the Horizontal scaling set to 1%, and replace your zero width spaces with a regular space and this character style. That way your own spaces will be unharmed.

    The only issue is that in a book of 400 pages, 1% might actually add up to something.
    Yes, that's a possibility. However, I suppose your text, even though in Khmerian, is divided into lines and paragraphs and pages as usual, so the chances of actually changing even a single page break are pretty slim.

  • Spell check in libreoffice [Solved]

    This is what i have known lately.
    Now for LO you need this:
    hunspell-en (English hunspell dictionaries)
    mythes-en (English thesaurus)
    hyphen-en (English hyphenation rules)
    and maybe this:
    hyphen
    libmythes

  • Where is the main dictionary of FM stored?

    This seems like a very basic issue but I could not find any infos about it. I assume the main dictionary is stored as a language-specific file at some location. I would like to remove unneeded terms; I don't know about other languages but the German dictionary contains some very outdated words as well as verbosity unrelated to our industry sector.
    I have checked the folder \users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Linguistics but this is empty.
    Robert

    Which version of FM? The location has been moved around a bit. Also, it (version) depends upon whether the Hunspell or Franklin-Proximity dictionaries are used. The Franklin-Proximity are binary encoded, so you couldn't modify them anyway.
    For the Hunspell, there are at least three versions for German, so first check if you are using the most modern one (2006 vs 1996 vs 1901). The Hunspell dictionaries are text files, so these can be edited.
    The dictionaries are located in the \fminit\Linguistics folder of your FM installation.
    Note: any errors (corruption) in the Linguistics files will cause FM to crash on startup. Make certain that you have the original files backed up if you do try to make any changes.

  • Customize (shorten) list of languages in Character palette?

    I often have to change the language for short text sections in a paragraph. I work with five languages, but of course, the language drop-down menu in InDesign’s Character palette shows all languages. I would like to reduce this menu to just the languages I need on a daily basis (e.g. English: USA, German and French).
    I thought that “Edit” > “Menus” might help, but unless I missed something, it won’t.
    So would I really have to remove all (Hunspell) dictionaries for the languages I don’t need? In InDesign CC on OS X, this is a 156 MB “bundle” (AdobeHunspellPlugin.bundle). Going in there, physically removing all language folders and editing the plist file as described in http://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/add_cs_dictionaries.html#id_69116 seems a bit… brutal. Is there a more flexible approach?

  • Spell Check not working with the preset dictionary

    My CS 6 InDesign on Mac does not make the spell check with the german dictionary and shows every word as unknown or wrong.
    In Indesign Version 5.5 and 4 i don't have the problem. What can i do to solve this problem. There seems to be no dictionary in german for cs6 or it has no content.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Thunderbird spell checking extension

    Did any non-us guy tried to install a spell checking extension for tunderbird?
    I've followed the link in thunderbird preferences and downloaded the extension. Then I get the info that it has been installed successfully but I couldn't choose it (even after restarting thunderbird)
    Regards,
    Moritz

    With these (latest) versions of official x86_64 packages:
    $ pacman -Qs hunspell
    local/hunspell 1.3.3-1
    Spell checker and morphological analyzer library and program
    local/hunspell-en 7.1-3
    English hunspell dictionaries
    $ pacman -Q thunderbird

    Works okay for me too.

  • Thunderbird spell-checking for non en_US broken

    Hi there,
    Is someone else experiencing issues with spell-checking support for languages other than en_US?
    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Go to write and compose a new message
    2. Click on the "Spelling" button in the top toolbar to select the dictionary.
    In that selection I used to see all my installed dictionaries. Now I only see English (US).
    Installed dictionaries:
    hunspell 1.3.3-1
    hunspell-de-de 20131206-1
    hunspell-en-gb 7.1-2
    hunspell-nl-nl 2.10g-1
    hunspell-pl 20120911-2
    Tested with the following versions of Thunderbird:
    thunderbird 31.1.1-1
    thunderbird-beta-bin 33.0b1-1
    It does not seem to be an add-on issue since I also tried it with all add-ons being disabled.
    Other programs still properly use the installed dictionaries.

  • Spellchecker not working in FM 12

    Spellchecker in FM12 does not find multiple spaces, the word "adn", accept possesives such as "John's" and more.  When is a fix expected?

    Have you checked that the paragraphs containing the errors (or if the words are charcter tagged and) have English set as the language?
    Is the content created in FM or imported from another source like Word?
    Are the errors repeatable, i.e. can you explicitly make those and FM still doesn't find them?
    AFAIK, the Spell Checker hasn't been touched since FM10 (except for adding in the Hunspell dictionaries) so the behaviour should be as before. There also haven't been any reports of problems with FM12 spell-checking so far. Have you tried a MIF-wash of the document(s) in case there is some cruft in the files?

  • Dictionaries in Openoffice 2.4 can't install

    I'm trying to install dictionaries for openoffice 2.4 but when I click the guide "Install extra dictionaries..." the dicooo.swx (version 1.8) starts and I choose my language and click install but then I get an error stating "non-allowed value or datatype. Datatype not joinable". Same error I'm getting when trying install Dmaths 3.1. I read somewhere that the error is caused by hunspell. Is this fixed yet?
    Regards
    André

    In my opinion this function always have been pretty flaky. In a sense it doesn't matter since you always can download necessary files from: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Dictionaries
    That's what I usually do. Extract the package in /opt/openoffice/share/dict/ooo and add the necessary lines to the dictionary.lst. Maybe this isn't how it's supposed to be done, I don't know, but it works well.
    By the way: yes I do get the same error if trying the automated guide.

  • StarOffice 8: Danish dictionary (getting additional dictionaries)

    Hi Graham!
    Hi, as a new full Staroffice 8 (purchased CD pack)
    user, this thread is very interesting to me. I too
    have been trying to get a danish dictionary installed
    for this product, and find its omission irritating.While the shift from CorrectSpell to Proximity Franklin has been good for some like me (full Canadian English support), it has been bad for others Danish and Greek being two examples.
    I'm unable to find out how to download a danish
    proximity dictionary from Adobe's website and,
    although my acrobat installation has 3 files :No the files are now included with the Reader 8 download for specific languages. AR7 had a language update, which might still be on the FTP site.
    dan32.clx, dan45.lex and danphon.envThose are the files I have.
    placing these in the share\dict path for So8 does not
    of itself allow danish to be selected as a dictionary
    language in So8. I note that the other files in that
    directory have extensions hsp, fca, ths and hyp. Only
    the .env extension from the adobe files seems to be
    common.Did you shut off the quick starter to reinitialize SO and select the files in the Writing Aids section in Options>Language?
    Can anyone please help with either a pointer to where
    from Adobe the dictionary can be downloaded, or
    alternatively what I have to do with the above (or
    other) adobe files to correctly "plug them in" to So8?Your other option is to use the HunSpell Danish dictionary which was created for OpenOffice.

  • I have a hunspell dictionary in my language I want to add, how do I do this?

    I am digitising my language and want to put it into Mozilla. I have made a Hunspell dictionary and need to know what to do next, so it can spell check etc.

    You can copy the two dictionary files (xx-XX.aff and xx-XX.dic) to the dictionaries folder in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).<br />
    If that folder doesn't exist because your Firefox locale didn't come with a dictionary then create a dictionaries folder.<br />
    If you have the two files in a ZIP archive then extract them from that archive.<br />
