When will a Norwegian spell checker be included in OS X?

I wonder when Apple will supply a Norwegian spell checker with its OS. For someone who communicates in both English and Norwegain on a daily basis, a built in Norwegian spell checker would be nice. I have found a third party work-around, but it is not satisfactory. Ironically, my iPhone has a built in spell checker which seems to work perfect. Why not use the same for OS X?

Exactly six months have passed since I posted the above asking Apple for a Norwegian spell checker to be included in the OS and their other software. According to the stats, more than 90 people have viewed this post, but zero answers. This means, that if anyone at Apple has read my post, they have avoided responding to the issue. When Mountain Lion was released this summer, I was an early adapter and the first thing I checked after installation was if Norwegian was included in the OS spell check languages. Not surprisingly, I was disappointed.
Yes, there are third party spell checkers, but they do not work very well. Not consistent and have flaws. So, Apple developers, if you read this, please respond and answer why we are still waiting for this spell checker?

Will Pages 2.0 have Norwegian spell check possibilities ??

Can I tell my wife that upgrading to Pages 2.0 solve the spell check issues?
We were very dissapointed to find that Pages was sold in Norway, without support for Norwegian.
Even bigger dissepointment: I cant replace the useless spellchecker with aspell, as I can do with other programs like "Impress".
So, has this been fixed, or at least can I use "aspell" ???

Are you aware that spell checking follows the keyboard? You must be typing with the Norwegian keyboard layout to have Norwegian spellcheck. Except for iWork apps, which have a bug where spellcheck follows the OS language.

My primary keyboard is English UK and secondary one Spanish. Until now when switching keyboards the spell check would automatically change to the desired language. Somehow it does not happen anymore. Any ideas on how to fix this?

The keyboard doesn't normally play any role in Apple apps regarding spellcheck. That is determined by system prefs/keyboard/text/spelling. Go the setup item at the bottom of the list and make sure that British English and Spanish are the only two boxes checked, and then set it to Automatic. How well it works varies a lot. You may also need to check Edit > Spelling and Grammar > Show Spelling and Grammar.
If you are still using Pages 4, spellcheck is determined by Inspector > Text > More > Language. Make sure that is set to the right thing for what you want to do.

When will the 2x playback function be included in this crappy "music" app OR can we please have to iPod app back?

Ability to change playback speed seems to be missing from the Music app in the new OS. I would like to know if its return is on the roadmap for patches to OS 5

Send apple feedback and let them know. We're just fellow users here, We can't do anything and we certainly dont' know anything.

I can't change the spell check to UK English

On a Mac with an existing CS6 InDesign document, I have tried everything to change the spell check to use a UK language, e.g., I want "programme", not "program".
1. Before I open the document, I have selected InDesign/Preferences/Dictionary and changed to English: UK language.
2. Once the document is opened:
- I have changed all the paragraph styles (Advanced Character Formats) to English: UK language;
- I have no Character Styles so nothing to change there;
- I have gone to Edit/Spelling/User Dictionary and changed language to English: UK.
When I open Edit/Spelling/Check Spelling, the language is set to English: UK. But when I start to spell check, it doesn't pick up any of the words that I know need changing for UK English (i.e., programme, not program)!
Help! What else can I do?

The Australian dictionary is just the British Dictionary renamed, it doesn't recognise any Aussie words that aren't included in the British version.
Don't know why Apple even bothered except to pat us on the head and pretend they cared.
Languages btw are applied like any other style like bold or color or font. You select the text you want to be something and apply the Language.

How can I enforce automatic spell checking for selected fields of data entered by form users?

I'd like to be able to enforce spell checking of selected fields in the forms that I've created using LiveCycle Designer 8.2 at run time, as opposed to design time. I understand the version LCD 8 has a nifty new spell checker for form designers. But I want to spell check the data entered by users using Acrobat Reader. And I want to enforce the spell checking automatically on selected fields only.
Presently it seems that users filling in my forms, must know how to manually right-click on each field and select "Spell Check" from the resulting dialog box in order to check for spelling errors in the data the user has entered in the form.
I would like to discover a way to enforce spell checking in selected fields, just as I am able to do in forms created using Acrobat Pro. In Acrobat Pro, I can set a property for each field to require spell checking. but that feature seems to be missing in Livecycle Designer.
I've check the Object model for XFA forms hoping that I might find a method I can call with a Javascript, to check spelling based on an event such as onBlur. But I haven't found a spell check method.
Am I missing something simple? Is there a way to set each field to be spell checked when a user is filling in the form using the free Acrobat Reader?
Our users are not sophisticated and requiring them to spell check each field separately just won't cut it...
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi David,
Two things...
At design time set the locale of the form to one that Acrobat spell checks. For example English (US) and English (UK) locales have spell checkers; however English (Ireland) does not. Check the Warnings tab to see if spell checking is supported for your locale.
If your form locale supports spell checking then you can go to the button script below.
If you form locale does NOT support spell checking then Stephanie has a great work around to force spell checking (http://forums.adobe.com/message/2233945#2233945).
Bring a regular button onto the form and in the click event have the following:
app.execMenuItem("Spelling:Check Spelling");
Which will open the spell checker for all fields. Thanks to Paul for extracting all of the accessible menu items (http://forums.adobe.com/message/1912914#1912914).
Good luck,
Niall

Email spell checking issues

After installing Lion I have 2 problems with mail. The first is when I come to send an email, my spell checker won't allow me to edit the text as the messafe gets sent as soon as I type. Sendin the whole message un checked.
The secondissue is with the rule I have set, in that it will forward the message to another address but won't attach the enclosure, any thoughts?
Simon

There was actually supposed to be spell-check capability available to developers to get started using it, in the latest 2.0 beta. Some inadvertent (?) glitch led to it being unavailable, but it's pretty certain at this point that 2.0 will definitely have spell-checking and auto-text (auto-correct) stuff in it, in the native PIM, available to devs to integrate into their apps and, I suppose, possibly even in text fields in web forms.

Firefox 14.0.1 has a spell checking error./ bug in the code

I just had all my machines update to 14.0.1 (WIN XP SP3)
I had a clean boot right before the update occurred.
This is the first time I had used this version on this machine.
When the program came up, I had no access to the spell checker at all. Nothing I did could change this (checking and un-checking the feature in the right click menu.
So, I selected the option of restarting the browser in "SAFE MODE" with no add-ons. There was no change at all (still no spell checking)
So, I went to this site, made an account, activated the count (this entire time FIREFOX had no spell checking) and I created a report.
I was most of the way done writing the report when suddenly the spell checking started to work. I made no changes to the settings, when suddenly I had spell checking working.
This means there is an intermittent error;p often the hardest to find from my 20+ years of programming experience (Senior IT contractor)..
So, have find finding this one. Intermittent bugs are the hardest to track, and tend to come from issues like scope issues, settings stored in files/registry, overly convoluted code (like a rush job that isn't fully understood & was just hammered on until it seemed to work). From my experience it often happens in the last steps of finishing a release - accidentally introducing a bug into what was a working section of code (unexpected ramification are a suspect) into a previously working program piece of a program.

Hi BarleySinger and thanks for reporting us this issue.
Yes. Intermitent bugs are really difficult to track and solve, so please try to do this things:
* Try to reset Firefox so all settings that may be creating this problems will be removed.
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Spell Check Dreamweaver cs4

For spell check in CS4 besides "shift F7", is there a way to setup so that spell checks while I am typing ?
TIA
Carl,

That's a bummer...
I was thinking of switching to Dreamweaver because it's Live View and limited excess tagging.
I"m rethinking that now...
I work in numerous systems that require web based editing of text (Drupal for one). These web based editors are a pain when it comes to spell checking! I type fast and some of my fingers are actually faster than others. My typical typo is a word that has all the correct letters, but with a couple letters mixed (for example, I might have an 'i' before a 't' instead of after).
I've come to rely on Word helping me to deal with this idiosyncrasy by underlining the misspellings as I've gotten used to for most other editing environments that operate locally on my PC. I'm going to have to re-think that process now... I may just stick with Web Expressions which is better about extraneous tags than Front Page was, but doesn't display the Drupal templates as I'd prefer.
I agree that DW should have the in-line spell check - it would not require any additional HTML in the code, would help the developer significantly and is basically a check-list item for most other editing environments where text is a key form of communication!
I understand there is a spell checker that can be done in batch mode - that's great. However, most of the environments where I do my editing (including many, but not all web pages through some Google add-ins) on both Mac and Windows systems have in-line spell checking...

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
d0z

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!

Spell check feature

Hi,
As far as i have evaluated, i dont see any spell check feature in BPA. This feature is present in other modelling tools i have worked with.
Please inform if this feature is present and i am missing out on it.
if not, does oracle/IDS intend to introduce it in next releases.
Regards

Hi,
you'r right, there is non spell checking available within the BPA Suite. I don't think that it will be implemented within the upcoming versions.
When it comes to spell checking of mass data I always use the following workaround:
- export all content using the translate-out report (xls-format)
- use the MS spell checking functionality
- import the content using the translate-in report

Use my playbook for email mostly, connected mainly via Blackberry Bold Phone, when will spell check be available on the playbook as it is on the phone? Or am I missing something?

This is a test of mark as question from Spell Check.

This is marked as a question in the main form. I will go to spell check and submit from there. If it isn't marked as a question it is because that setting doesn't persist to the spell check form and subsequent submittal. If that is the case how do we get that fixed?

Hi Doug,
Yes it is. The workaround is that one can go into the post and set the flag again.
I know this is not great, but works until we find the time to change it.
Best, Mark.
