Spell Check Dictionaries
|
|
************************
|
|
|
|
.. _Enchant: https://rrthomas.github.io/enchant/
|
|
|
|
Spell checking is provided by the Enchant_ library. Depending on your operating system, it may or
|
|
may not load all installed spell check dictionaries automatically.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Linux and MacOS
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
On Linux and MacOS, you generally only have to install hunspell, aspell or myspell dictionaries on
|
|
your system like you do for other applications. See your distro or OS documentation for how to do
|
|
this. These dictionaries should show up as available spell check languages in UmbraEdit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Windows
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
For Windows, English is included with the installation. For other languages you have to download
|
|
and add dictionaries yourself.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Install Tool
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
A small tool to assist with this can be found under **Tools > Add Dictionaries**. It will import
|
|
spell checking dictionaries from Free Office or Libre Office extensions. The dictionaries are then
|
|
installed in the install location for the Enchant library and should thus work for any application
|
|
that uses Enchant for spell checking.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Manual Install
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
If you prefer to do this manually or want to use a different source than the ones mentioned above,
|
|
You need to get compatible dictionary files for your language. You need two files ending with
|
|
``.aff`` and ``.dic``. These files must then be copied to the following location:
|
|
|
|
``C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Local\enchant\hunspell``
|
|
|
|
This assumes your user profile is stored at ``C:\Users\<USER>``. The last one or two folders may
|
|
not exist, so you may need to create them.
