Spell checker/dictionary in iPad 2?

Hello,
I bought iPad2 in the UK, about a week ago and would like to activate the French dictionary/spell checker. I have tried changing the language to French and the keybourd to French but this doesn't seem to work. Any idead please?
Thank you
John

Hey,
do you have two or more keyboards/keyboardlanguages activated in the system? If so you have to "click" the sort of globe on the keyboard to change between the keyboards.
Maybe that helps.
And don't forget to activate the spell checker in the preferences. (general -> keyboard)

Is it possible to change the spell check dictionary in "pages for iPad" from Spanish to UK English? The app was downloaded in Spain.

Spell checking should be based on the keyboard layout that you've got selected in Settings > General > Keyboard > International Keyboards - if you have an English 'UK keyboard' selected then the spell checking should be English

Is there a way for the basic ENGLISH spell check dictionary to auto update? Its really annoying to have to update the spellcheck dictionary everytime FF updates

Every time FF updates, it forces me to download and install the spell check dictionary for English. It makes me just choose to use another browser since more often than not its opening facebook and I like spell check when I use fb. Is there any solution?

What Firefox locale do you use?
Is that the en-US version or another locale like the French locale?
You shouldn't lose installed dictionaries and other installed extensions when you update Firefox unless you would reset Firefox or a new profile got created for other reasons like problem with the profiles.ini file.
Are there otherwise problems with updating that you notice?
Note that in case you do not need all four French dictionaries then you can remove others and only keep the ones you need.
You can find the dictionary files in the dictionaries folder of the extension in the extensions folder in the Firefox profile folder or possibly in the Firefox program folder if you use a French Firefox locale (don't know if that locale includes a dictionary).

You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

How can add Greek Language to spell-checking dictionary?

How can I add a new language in the spell-checking dictionary that is not the given options, specifically Greek?
And if there is a way can I do it to other applications as well (Safari, Textedit etc.)?

Spell checking is not an application feature but a system one.
When a checker is installed, it is available for every modern application.
Is Grrek available in the list of languages available from
System PrefPane entitled International ?
If itsn't, install it.
Maybe this will connect a spellchecker too.
If it doesn't, grab a checker from cocoaSpell.

I want to remove an incorrectly spelled word from my spell check dictionary (--a word that I added to the dictionary).

While writing an e-mail, I added the name of a place to my spell check dictionary. Moments later, I realized that I had misspelled that place name. Now I want to remove the incorrectly spelled name. Is there a simple solution?

Wrong English spell-checking dictionary

So I didn’t install the OS on my new MacBook Pro and it has the wrong spell-checking dictionary - ie US-English and not English-English. I have no idea why. How do I sort this so I can labour and not labor, colour and not color?
And while I’m at it, can I move the user dictionary from my old PB [OS 10.4.11] to this 10.5.8 machine?

Yeah. It was the first place I looked. The /languages says ‘English’ - not British-English or US-English. Just ‘English’. There are no options.
Also you can select British English in Edit > Spelling for each app (Inspector > Text > More > Language in Pages).

How do I add an entry to the auto correct spell check dictionary?

How do I add an entry to the auto-correct dictionary for spell check?

The suggestion from Encrypted11 is for adding a keyboard shortcut, if that is what you want to do. If you want to add a custom word to the keyboard dictionary ....
The iPad Dictionary
The iPad has a dictionary built in. As you type, it compares what you've typed against the words in that dictionary. If it finds a partial match, it displays a suggestion just beneath what you have typed.
If you accept the suggestion by tapping the Space or full stop, great.
If you allow the 'mistake' to stand, the second time you type the same word and reject the correction, iPad adds the new word to its custom, dynamic dictionary. From now on, it will accept the new word and will even suggest it the next time you type something like it.
That is copied from here.

How do you alter the spell check on an iPad?

I type my name or email and it always suggests something else. I want to add the new word so that it doesn't "correct" it again!

The system setting for spell check ... go to Settings>General>Keyboard>Check Spelling. You have to keep Auto-Correction enabled to turn Spell Check on, but you can turn spell check off and leave Auto-Correction on.
However, in your case, you want to disable Auto Correction because that is what keeps trying to correct what you are typing.
The way the system is designed to work is that if you keep rejecting the "suggested" spelling of the iPad's auto correct by pressing the X in the blue suggested word, the iPad should eventually learn your word.

UK English Language Spell Checker - Dictionary

Hi All
Does any body know if Pages '08 (or '09) comes with an UK English dictionary or just the American.
Thanks for your help
Regards
Lee

educateer - you need to go to System Preferences > International > Language (or similar words). Add the languages you are interested in BUT make sure you have british English at the top. It can be dragged there.
But if you are using Pages08 you will only get English, not British English!
This apply to spell checker, not to dictionary.
There is only ONE delivered dictionary: the Oxford American English.

Please add "iPhone" to the spell check dictionary.

The forums spell checker is flagging iPhone, which is an Apple product name. Please add it to the dictionary.

As you don't run a Mac I can only suggest that you add them yourself - after all you only have to do it once!
Umm, I want to be as "constructive" as possible, so I'll clarify my statement. My suggestion referred to the web based spell checker built into the apple discussions site. It's the little "ABC" checkmark icon between underline and quote. This application does not run on anyone's local machine, (Mac or other)- it's web based.
On the server, it contains a database of all the words that are spelled correctly, along with thousands of suggestions for how to correctly spell words that aren't correct.
Apple generally takes very good care to make the user experience seamless and well thought out. Unfortunately in this case, it's failure to include it's own brand names like "phone" seems careless or at least sloppy. If you look beyond just it's own product names like "iMac", you'll also discover than common feature words like WiFi, GSM and dozens of other words which are commonly used in these forums are also missing. I'm trying to help Apple give the most professional image possible.
As for your comment, immediatly replying that I'm not using a Mac so too bad seems to run counter to the desire of this community, beyond the fact that you don't understand this application. If the goal is to encourage Windows, (or in my case Linux), users to move to OSX, then you might want to be or encouraging and not so dismissive. If your goal is to alienate potential customers perhaps you're ideally suited for the Linux user community who's elitist ugliness for NOOBS is legendary.

Spell checker dictionary

Hello,
I wish to remove an incorrectly learned spelling in Pages '08. I went to Pages help and the instructions say (paraphrasing): Edit>Spelling>Spelling type in word to the left of 'correct' and press 'forget'. When I went to my Pages to follow these instructions I found that my spell checker does not have these buttons. All I can see is 'Ignore', 'Learn', 'Find Next' and 'Change'.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hello
Je vais répondre en Français.
Je confirme mon message précédent. Chez moi ça fonctionne parfaitement (10.4.11, Pages 3.0.2)
J'ai activé le correcteur en Français et je lui ai soumis une phrase anglaise bien connue.
J'ai mémorisé tous les mots de celle-ci.
Un nouveau passage sur le texte anglais ne relève aucune anomalie (ce qui est normal).
J'ai ensuite ouvert le dialogue et j'ai saisi par exemple le mot "lonesome" puis cliqué sur "Effacer".
Un nouveau passage sur le texte relève le mot "lonesome" comme erroné ce qui confirme que tout a bien fonctionné.

Firefox spell-check dictionary switches to incorrect language when starting compose mail in Gmail

I have Firefox 11.0 with dictionaries for Lithuanian and Russian languages installed. It seems that no matter what dictionary language is selected, after I start composing mail in Gmail, it switches the dictionary language to Russian (it changes the spellchecker.dictionary property).
Steps to recreate:
1. Say, the dictionary language is set to Lithuanian in some way (the spellchecker.dictionary property is "lt")
2. Restart Firefox
3. Open Gmail page (spellchecker.dictionary is still "lt")
4. Start composing new mail - this is when the spellchecker.dictionary property gets changed to "ru"
(there are other, more complicated scenarios, when this happens, sometimes it is even enough to reload the Gmail tab)
Firefox general.useragent.locale property is "lt-LT", Gmail display language is "English-US". I don't know what other settings I should check. Of course, I could uninstall Russian altogether, but I do need it sometimes, so it would be nice to have, but not as a default language every time I open my mail.
I have found a similar bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=717433 , maybe this is related.

There is no built-in way to use more than one dictionary at a time. The [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3414/ Dictionary Switcher] extension may be of use to you.

How do i remove a stadard word from a spell check dictionary?

even thought its a real word and spelled correctly i want to be highlighted if i type it.
I'm using the standard English(united states) dictionary.
i also have low technical skill.
i meant to type "dog" but i actually typed "dong" and it lead to some embarrassment , i want it to remove it as a standard word from my spellchecker , Ive got a few I'm thinking of removing , as a just in case kind of thing.
Thanks guys

Yes, editing that file works. Because the line breaks are not traditional DOS line breaks, you should not use Notepad as your editor. Instead, try this:
(1) With Firefox closed, open the Start menu to All Programs > Accessories
(2) Right-click Wordpad and choose Run as Administrator, give yourself permission when prompted by Windows
(3) Navigate Wordpad's Open dialog to C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\dictionaries and change the file type to all files (or type *.* in the box and press Enter) so you can open en-US.dict
(4) Search in the page (Ctrl+f) for dong/ (it's not the first one) then add XYZ between dong and /
''The reason for this is so you can easily find and undo your changes by searching for XYZ/ or globally replacing that back to / if needed.''
(5) Save and then restart Firefox. If spellcheck seems to work correctly, you can close Wordpad. If not, you might want to undo your changes in Wordpad (you might or might not be able to save that with Firefox open).

How to delete items in Safari Spell Check Dictionary?

So, I accidently clicked add to dictionary when I wrote "myselg" instead of myself. Is there a way to remove myselg from the dictionary?

Thanks, Klaus (blush):
The gist of the article was this:
if you accidentally add a misspelled word to the dictionary, type the misspelling in the dialog and then click "ignore."

Spell checking dictionary -oops, added a misspelled word I didn't mean to

Ooops. When I selected a word that was misspelled and selected the options menu, I accidentally clicked "Add to Dictionary" instead of the correct suggestion. How do I get back into the database and clear that out?
Thanks.
MC

From Spelling and Grammar help:
"If you accidentally add a misspelled word to the dictionary, type the misspelling in the Spelling and Grammar window and click Ignore, or Control-click the misspelling and choose Unlearn Spelling from the shortcut menu."
I believe there is also a TextEdit editable file in home/Library/Spelling where you can find and delete the offending string of characters.
