Spell check in libreoffice [Solved]

I feel like some magic retard for asking this but for some reason their appears to be no dictionaries installed, after installing libreoffice i've subsiquently installed libreoffice-en-GB and yet when i try and add a dictionary the way the wiki suggests extension manager - /usr/lib/openoffice/share/extension/install/ theirs nothing their and i cant find where the dictionary is.
Theirs something I'm obviously missing and i've been chasing my tail trying to work it out for quite a while, suggestions?

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
(Taken from Russian arch-forum)

How do I change the default language for the spell checker? - solved, sort of...

As the previous thread was closed without actual resolution - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/941350?esab=a&s=&r=0&as=s
I managed to solve this on my end by just reinstalling firefox using the localisation of the default dictionary language i wanted from here - http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
A bit of a shame that the main download page doesnt select the geographically relevant localisation for you and even more so that changing the default language for the in built spell checker is so kak. oh well.

Right-click a web form on any web page.
Languages > Add Dictionaries
*Install the Language pack
You can look here for dictionaries:

I've lost spell check in almost every application [SOLVED]

I'm not sure what just happened, but I no longer have spell checking capability in nearly anything. OpenOffice, Firefox, and LyX just to name a few. It still works in Gedit, so something is happening. I have both Aspell and Ispell installed. I have the OpenOffice spelling package installed. I didn't really change much. In fact, the only thing I changed was removed some "orphans" to find out one of them was necessary to web browsing (nss-mdns... possible bug report later). I reinstalled all of them to see if it helped.
And....
I also replaced my version of FF3 (firefox3-systemcairo) with the one in the repos, complete with the xulrunner update and such. Any connection here?
--EDIT--
OpenOffice was a fluke. It turns out that the development branch is the only one suffering from this. I could have sworn it worked, but it's working. I'm probably wrong here.
The others?

I can't tell you exactly what I did -- I just tried different options from the drop down menu in preferences and when, eventually, after receiving some error messages for ispell and so on, I reverted back to aspell it was working again.
I removed my .lyx file, and spell checking is sort of working. It's not exactly what it use to be, but it's doing something. I can spell fairly well, I just like to write freely without worrying too much about stuff; That's what proof reading is for.
Thanks fwojciec. Yet another bizarre set of coincidences "resolved".

Spell checker for KWrite doesn't work [SOLVED]

How do I enable spell checking for the KDE editors, i.e. KWrite, Kate, etc? I've installed aspell via pacman, it's in /usr/bin which is in my PATH. In KWrite's Settings>Configure Editor>Plugins, there is an option "KTextEditor KDataTool Plugin: Enable data tools like thesaurus and spell check (if installed)" which I've checked. In another distro, that's how I enabled spell checking with aspell, i.e. by checking this box for the spell check plugin. But in Arch this doesn't seem to be sufficient. When I try to spell check a document in KWrite, I get this error:
"The spelling program could not be started. Please make sure you have set the correct spelling program and that it is properly configured and in your PATH."
What else do I need to do?
Robert
EDIT: Sorry, searching this forum for "spellcheck" hadn't yielded any solution but after I posted this I also searched for "spell AND check" and found the solution: I had neglected to pick Aspell as the client for spell checking in Control Center>KDE Components>Spell Checker.

[SOLVED]firefox/thunderbird spell checker and the mass of languages

Hey guys,
I'm looking for a possibility to remove some entries from the spell checker language selection. Even without any extra language pack installed, there are about 15 different English version available. I have to write emails in more than 3 different languages per day, so it takes about 5 seconds to find the right one in the big list. So any one knows a "hack" or addon that can hide or remove some of these entries, so i can leave the 7 important ones i really need? I want to use the precompiled from the official repo, but if only compile from source will do it im fine with it.
thanks in advance.

/usr/share/hunspell containing all dictionaries that where used. a lot of them are only links to en_US or en_GB. deleted them, and now the spell checker selection only contains the ones i need. Thank you.

[solved] Hebrew spell checker as dependency for enchant?

Hi, on a fresh installation I noticed that the only dictionary Evolution shows is for Hebrew.
$ pacman -Qs hebrew
local/hspell 1.1-2
Hebrew spell-checker
I then tried to remove this but pacman says enchant needs it which is needed by a lot of packages:
checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: gedit: requires enchant
:: gtkhtml4: requires enchant
:: kdelibs: requires enchant
:: libwebkit3: requires enchant
I just ask myself why is a dictionary a depemdency for such a package?
Last edited by thms (2012-03-28 07:16:28)

To fix the problem of the Hebrew dictionary being the only one Evolution sees, you need to install any other dictionary. Typically you would want packages like aspell-[LANGUAGE]
Also regarding why enchant actually depends on hspell: http://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/ … dcdb8dc519

Epiphany and spell checking [Solved]

Any of you great people got spell checking enabled in epiphany 2.26.2-1. I can't seem to enable it.
I have had a look in about:config and added "en_GB" as my dictionary (also tried en_US ), but nothing.
As far as I can see it uses enchant for spell checking, as does abiword and the spell check in abiword is working fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Last edited by timttmy (2009-06-23 18:43:49)

I got it working
I had to add the line
user_pref("layout.spellcheckDefault", 1);
in ~/.gnome2/epiphany/mozilla/epiphany/prefs.js
That option is frozen out when you try to change it in about:config
I also had to reboot (but a logout/login probably would have worked), because after editing my prefs.js file epiphany wouldn't load any pages or about.config.
My only disappointment is that epiphany doesn't offer suggestions for misspelled words... yet.
But at least I know now when is something is wrong.

[SOLVED] Spell Check on KDE4 not working.

So, I have Spell check enabled in systemsettings->locale. Further, I have enchant installed as well. However, spell check does not work on any application inside KDE (blogila, kword, kate etc). Am I missing any package?
EDIT: Please ignore. Fixed it. I was missing the ispell package.

tohben wrote:is /Volumes/efi on OS X the same as /mnt/efi on linux?
In some sense, mount points are arbitrary -- you can mount a partition at /mnt/efi, at /boot/efi, at /Volumes/fred, at /some/weird/place, or whatever. There are a few limits on this based on certain critical directories -- for instance, attempting to mount anything at /etc is likely to lead to pain. Likewise, if a partition holds critical system files, it may need to be mounted at a particular location to do any good. For instance, if you split /var off onto its own partition, you'd want to mount that partition at /var (except perhaps for some very rare maintenance tasks). For the ESP, though, you can mount it just about anywhere -- under either Linux or OS X. The most common mount point in Linux is /boot/efi, followed in popularity by /boot. AFAIK, there's nothing remotely resembling a "standard" mount point for the ESP in OS X.
Speaking to your broader issue, tohben, I think you'll find this much easier if you download the official rEFInd binary .zip file from the rEFInd download page and run the install.sh script from OS X. That will do the installation for you. It's probably best to install it to the OS X root partition rather than to the ESP, because some users have problems with ~30-second delays when starting rEFInd from the ESP, but normally not when started from an HFS+ volume. (The default behavior of install.sh under OS X is to install to the OS X root partition; to install to the ESP, you must add the --esp option.) If you want rEFInd to read your Linux filesystems, you can add the --alldrivers option to install.sh to install drivers; or you can manually install only the driver(s) you need.

System-wide spell check will not work

Hi,
I can't get the system-wide spell check to work on my MacBook Pro with the Command + Shift + ; (semicolon) keys. Does anyone know of a solution to this problem? The Spell-Check on the Fly will work.
Thank You,
Guy

I was able to zap the pram and that solved the problem.

Bug? Mailto: in combination with Office 2013 Spell Checking.

Dear community,
For one of our sollutions we use the mailto protocol to send a hyperlink which users can use to automatically open a predefined new-email-window.
This works fine with Office Professional Plus 2010 [EN-US] (32bit) in combinatione with Microsoft Office Language Pack 2010 - Dutch/Nederlands (32bit).
However, Office Professional Plus 2013 [EN-US] (32bit), in combination with Microsoft Office Language Pack 2013 - Dutch/Nederlands (32bit), crashes whenever the spellingcheck is started.
The mailto-command we use to reproduce this problem is (enter command in Internet Explorer, open with Outlook):
mailto:[email protected]?subject=%20Actie%20vereist&body=%5b2103162%2f335159076094968874376260057075247208793%5d
During analyses we concluded:
- Office Configuration Analyzer Tool 1.2 (Full Scan) did not find any related issues.
- Spellchecker crashes while checking the text within the body.
- Uninstalling Microsoft Office Language Pack 2013 - Dutch/Nederlands solves the problem, but obviosly, we want to keep the Dutch spelling check functionality.
- Standard Englsh (U.S.) spellchecking functions without problems.
- This problem is reproducable on any computer running Office Professional Plus 2013 [EN-US] in combination with the Dutch (Nederlands) spelling check. Tried multiple hardware configurations (Intel based) and multiple OS's (Windows 7 Enterprise
(64bit), Windows 8.1 Enterprise (64bit), Windows 8.1 Pro (64bit). All with the same result.
Is there way to solve this issue, without loosing Outlook 2013 as client and Dutch Spelling Check capabilities?
Kind regards,
Leon Kandelaars.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your reaction.
Q - Do you mean Outlook crashes when we click the Spelling & Grammar button under Review tab?
A - Yeah, if you try to edit the mail and have 'check spelling as you type' activated, it wil crash as well.
Q - If we copy the email body and paste it to a new email message, will this issue continue?
Does this   issue happen with other Office 2013 programs? Please try to use 'spell check' in word and check if the same issue occurs.
A - If you copy the generated body to a new email or Word 2013, the spelling check will in both cases crash the application.
Q - In addition, we can also have a look at the event log to see if we can find anything useful.
A - The crash generates an "Application" "Hang error". I've generated 2 (1 with Outlook, 1 with Word):

Is there a way to make the spell check work on the entire web page without making the content editable? Or at least those boxes that appear when you enable spell check on the entire page, can you make them disappear?

I found an addon that allows you to spell check on the webpage but it make the entire page editable and these boxes appear on everything i highlight. Can i get rid of the boxes?

I had thought this situation was solved but it just got worse. In addition to being without service for several days I am now being charged a cancellation fee for a broadband service that BT disconnected in error. BT Vision was also terminated by BT but the set up charges are still in place. Does anyone know who the relevant Ombudsman is? I called BT from America on Friday - for an hour - while someone called Aruj sorted out why there is an order 'in progress' that I didn't initiate; why I have fees relating to a problem created by BT and why there are references to a house move that didn't take place and a BT Vision service I no longer have but didn't cancel myself. He assured me it would be rectified and my bill would be reduced by 139 pounds and we would get confirmation of this later that day. I asked him what chance there was that this would not actually happen - he said no chance at all; my new bill would be 23.50.
There was no text message. An online chat person today told me there had been a fee reduction request which had been declined and there was nothing else he could help me with as he dealt only with broadband. But he would get BT Vision to email me. They always seem so helpful.............
I'm sure I'm listed somewhere as 'a problem', there's no other explanation for why I get the runaround

Spell Checker No Longer Working in 10.6.4

Hi,
after updating to 10.6.4 the spell checker has forgotten all words in German and Spanish. So all my texts are nearly completely underlined in red. This applies to all programs. It however recognizes words from my own dictionary as well as English texts. Other languages I haven't tried. Rebooting did not solve the problem. I haven't touched any language settings in the system settings. What can I do to get back my spell checker?
Regards,
Alexander

I noticed that /System/Library/Services/AppleSpell.service has decreased in size since a backup from last month (from about 10MB to 3MB). So I restored the old version of this directory from my backup, logged off and on again, and now spell checking works for me again in multiple languages.
However please note that this is a potentially dangerous procedure. It might be safer to reinstall the operating system manually from scratch (not an automatic restore from the backup - this will just reinstall the broken AppleSpell.service).
Cheerio,
freki
