OpenOffice 3.0 English Spellchecker Missing?

Pardon me if I'm being an idiot here, but I can't seem to find a way to install a US English dictionary extension in OO3. According to the wiki the necessary files were included in the beta releases, but don't seem to be in the stable version. I also checked on the database of extensions opened by the extension manager and can't find anything, implying that maybe it should have been included.
Am I just missing something obvious?

Can you define "clicking around for a bit" slightly better please....
Found out my problem. en_AU is not in the en dictionary pack. Changing the language to en_US fixed it.
Clicking around meaning doing a few manual spell checks and restarting OOo.

Download CS6 - English download missing but French, German, Italian and Japanese are there.

Logged in with my Adobe ID and went to Download CS6 products but there are only links for French, German, Italian and Japanese versions of PP CS6. It is a simpler case for most of the other products on this page. What is going on?

you are reading that wrong!!!
- the left column lists the available languages when using the two mac or four pc installation files!!!
- the center column is the two installation files for mac!!!!
- the right column is the four installation files for pc!!!!!
all languages on the left are available when installing with
the two mac files, and/or the four pc files!!!
the fact that 'mac-file 1' aligns with the word 'German' means nothing!!!!

Spellchecking missing in Mail ...

Hi,
With 10.4.10, I used extensively the spellckecking feature by CTRL clicking in all Apple's applications.
In writting a new messsage in Mail with 10.4.11, it don't see the «Orthograph» option anymore. If I CTRL click on a received message I see it, but not when writing a new one. I get the «Ignore or Memorize orthograph» options but not the «Orthograph» menu with witch I could select a different language.
Is there a fix for this problem ? I have reported it to Tiger Feedback ....

Was that not fixed by update 2007-209 v.1.1?
I don’t think so. According to About Security Update 2007-009 v1.1, it doesn’t address this particular issue at all (it only addresses a Safari crash issue), and nobody affected by this problem has reported that it does.

I am using FF 5.0.1. The English spellchecker add on does not work.It will underline the misspelled word but does not give you the correct spelling choice.

I did not upgrade to 4.0 because I did not like it.I thought I was upgrading finally to 4.0 assuming at this date they had fixed all the bugs and updated the add ons.
I downloaded the latest version and love it, love it except the one add on that I use more than anything does not work properly.:-(
Please notify the developer of this issue.

"SafeBrowser'',
No it does NOT show up as I said before the ONLY option is "paste" there are NO suggestions showing up.
As I said before,I have used this same add on for many years and earlier versions and have had no problems until version FF5.01.
''cor-el'',
I have already done all that prior to posting here.
Even as I type this response the spell check add on puts a red squigly line under your screen names but does not give me any suggestions.
I am frustrated beyond belief because I am a faithful and dedicated user of this browser and I am going to just roll back to a older version until this silly issue is resolved.
I appreciate all your help but I suppose until the person who developed this add on does something to make it compatible with FF5.01 I will not be using it.
I apologize for any misspelled words but my spell check extension is not working properly. :-(

Openoffice spellcheck, changing language problem

Hi, when I change language to english in the spellcheck dialog (F7) in openoffice writer, it goes back to norwegian for the next word. I tried to change standard language (in options) til english, but still this happens.
I have both openoffice-spell-en and openoffice-spell-no installed. and I can se that the english spellcheck is available.
Any solution to this?

This may be by design, it uses the language that the word has been set to use. For example if you have four misspelled words on a line, but change the language for each one to different languages, when spell checking [F7] it will alternate between each language for each word.
So the best thing to do is set the language for the text. Format / Character / Font / Language

Multilingual spellcheck - check multiple languages at the same time

Hi guys,
I very often write in two languages - czech and english. I've installed a czech spellcheck library from OpenOffice (basically put the .aff and .dic files into my /Library/Spelling/ folder). Both czech and english spellchecking works fine separately but I definitely don't want to switch the language setting for each piece of text I write every time I start composing something new. I didn't find any other way of checking the spelling in more languages and the "automatic by the language" option obviously means you have to set the language of the document every time, which is quite pain in the *** resulting in not using the spellchecker at all. I don't care about recognition or setting of the language of my documents, I'd be happy with just something like a "merged language library" which would work with both languages combined. Can I do something like this in Leopard?
I went through dozen of old messages from 2008/2009 speaking about some multilingual setting in Tiger and maybe early Leopard but didn't find any solution which would work in current 10.6 OSX. Any advice?

Thanks guys, it's a bit more clear how the spellchecker works now and it seems to me like quite a mess I'll definitely use that form and ask Apple to make this work a bit better.
Anyway, it seems to me that the built-in spellchecker works pretty well for one language on places where I noticed. Do you think it would be possible to create a hybrid language library in the meantime which would contain both my languages, thus doing what I needed until Apple fixes this? I'll use this combined language for checking the spelling, nothing else. Has anyone done such a thing so far?
I haven't tried it but it should be possible if you have access to the a document with all the words.
1. My idea is that you have word processors language set to the you have for the computer.
2. Write a word that is in the other language, select the word and Ctrl click on it > Learn spelling. Do this for about 3 words.
3. Now the computer has created a language file in Users > your name > Library > Spelling. It is probably named cz
4. Open the cz file in TextEdit. You will see the is one word on each line in alphabetical order
5. If you have a list of english word you can add those in the textEdit file. Make sure the words are in alphabetical order. Save the document
6. May this list only will work in the word processing application where you started the custom word list but I don't know. You have to try it.

Set DEFAULT spellcheck language

Running Ubuntu 13.04, firefox can't help but highlight every word red every time I type into a textbox, because the top entry in RIGHTCLICK>>LANGUAGES is "French". The others read, in order, "French (Belgium)", "English (United Kingdom)", "French (Luxembourg)", "English (United States)", "French (Swiss)", "French (France)", "English (South Africa)", "French (Canada)", "Persian", "Persian (Iran)", "English (Australia)". Now I don't deny that I may have gone on a splurge many years ago having discovered new languages' spellcheck. Whatever the case, I want to be rid of all but "English (United States)", "Persian (Iran)", and "French (France)", in that order, with "English (United States)" as the DEFAULT.
Unfortunately, the first option ("French") is the default, which means that every textbox I go to, regardless of what I chose in the previous textbox, the spellcheck language is reset to French. There are no firefox addons that would suggest a change in language, other than perhaps Ubuntu Firefox Modifications, Ubuntu Online Accounts, Unity Desktop Integration, or Unity Websites integration that I can fathom would change the default spellcheck language, nor any such plugins or languages. about:config shows spellchecker.dictionary as a user-set en_US, and EDIT>>PREFERENCES>>CONTENT>>LANGUAGES shows, "in order of preference", en-us, en, fa, and ar; though I don't think the latter is related to my problem, since webpages show in the correct language; it's just the spellcheck.

As it turns out, OpenOffice and Firefox both use the same spellcheckers, namely hunspell and myspell, of which I have the following packages:
* myspell-en-{au,gb,za}, which who knows how those got checked in Synaptic,
* myspell-fa and myspell-fr, which I added myself.
* hunspell-en-us
After uninstalling myspell-en-{au,gb,za} in Synaptic, my English spellcheck is only us (presumably from hunspell), as I would like. I didn't uninstall FA or FR because I would like them for both OO and ff. Since I won't need it in ff or OO, I also removed fr_{CH,CA,BE}.{dic,aff} from /usr/share/hunspell.
Finally, it seems that I was mistaken about the spellchecker.dictionary option in about:config, and that this does set the default value, as sites are now showing "en_US" as the default spellchecker upon right click. So philipp was right!
Thank you both for solving my problem!

Spellcheck in pages on ipad - can it do multi language?

Is it possible to get pages on ios (ipad) to do spellcheck in more than the one language (the ipad default language)? Other apps, including apple apps, seem to be able to take language from the keyboard and spellcheck accordingly, but pages doesnt seem to be that intelligent. Is there any other way to make it work? If not, is there any other app that can handle it?

I have 3 ipads in the house, all updated, and all behave in the same way.
I can easily change keyboard with the globe key, but the only effect it has is that when the English keyboard is in use i get english spellcheck. If i shift keyboard to another language i get no spellcheck at all (but in the mail app it follows keyboard as you describe).
The files i try to use spell check on are created in pages on each individual ipad. I am wondering if it is linked to the fact that the language on the ipad is set to English and pages only allow for the one language?

Multiple and frequent crashes due to spellchecker

Hi,
Since the release of the last 2 version of the French dictionaries, I've been experiencing a LOT of crashes due to the spellchecker
At first, I was using FF3 and I got so sick of it that I switched to Minefield: the problem is still there, unfortunately
This isn't a small issue: It IS very frequent, almost always if the message you're typing is long enouth
I've tried many different things like disabling extensions, ect: I now have absolutely no doubt about it, it's being caused by the spellchecker
It's actually so frequent that I've come to type my messages in another app first and then copy paste in FF: it's too munch of a pain, I'm now going to use another browser until this issue is solved

Thanks for your reply
Yes, I've looked at the link you gave and it's definitely the bug I'm experiencing
As for the dictionaries; I use:
Dictionnaire français "Classique" v4.0.1 ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/french-dictionary-classic-spel/ )
and
United States English Spellchecker v5.0.1 ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/united-states-english-spellche/ )
note that I have also tried the 2 other versions of the French one and both with no luck
These 2 other version are:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/french-dictionary-classic-and-/
and
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/french-dictionary-modern-spell/
I'm also giving you the version of the English one, because as it turns out it sometimes also causes FF to crash (less frequently than the French one)
I didn't know there was an alternative (Hunspell), I will try that asap

I'm trying to help a person in Sweden, who presumably has a Swedish version of Firefox, and needs an English spell checker. How can this be accomplished?

The person is Swedish, so it makes sense to have the Swedish version, but she is contributing to Wikipedia, and making a number of spelling errors. I am trying to help her, so that she can optionally turn on an English spellchecker. I see how to add other language packs to my version, so it may be that she has to look for the comparable page on her browser? If that works and she installs a language pack, how does one turn it on or off? She is a self-confessed computer illiterate, so I would like to give her precise advice.

*You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu.
* Open the "Add Dictionaries" link to install a dictionary if you do not have one.
* Make sure that [X] "Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu is check-marked.
You can enable or disable spell checking globally:
* Tools > Options > Advanced : General: Browsing: "Check my spelling as I type"
You can look here for dictionaries:

"Convert to timeline" missing button

So, first of all, so sorry for my english, my first lenguage is spanish so you'll find a lot of non-scense sentences and also, grammatical errors.
Here's the thing. I was making and editing a gif, following all the steps from a tutorial, and one of them is about how to "sharpen" the screencaps without sharpening every single one of the frames and layers. It seems that all the photoshop versions have on their animation window, this button
But I don't have it. This how it looks my photoshop:
I use to have before I dowloaded the english version of cs6, the spanish version, and it doesn't have that button either (I think)
The question is, is there a problem with my version of cs6? How can I fix this?
And again, sorry for my english.

The missing button (and command in Timeline panel menu) has been reported in this forum numerous times. I am unaware of an explanation ever being provided, apart from some beta versions of CS6 lacking the feature. Someone reported that uninstalling and re-installing CS6 had magically provided the initially missing button to them.
P.S. Your English is very good.
