patforkin: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hallo! I have just joined but am not a programmer. For the languages I will write in, I need to have various langugae dictionaries. They are, to begin with, English GB and not US), German and French. Are these languages available? I do not seem to have located them on the web-site. I look forward to a response. Thanks and regards patforkin. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi, you can download the data for spellchecking in various languages on the download page: http://www.pspad.com/en/download.php (see the list of language names and flags below the program and help files). You should just unpack the archive files and place the "dic" files in the subfolder "Spell" in the PSPad program directory. The dic files are actually just text files (windows-ANSII-encoded txt files with extension changed to dic) with words (one word a line). you can check the content of the file, modify it or even replace with wordlists from other sources). After that, you can select the needed dictionary in Settings: Spell settings... (you may use "reload dictionary" after the file is selected). To have your potential spelling mistakes underlined in editor, make sure to select View: Spell Check. Or you can perform a check with a dialog suggesting similar words on each unknown string Tools: Spell check... (F7) Note, that you assign the specific language globally - it isn't possible to have parts of a multilingual file somehow marked for checking using different dictionaries (as it it is possible in document processors like word, writer etc. Hth, vbr -- <http://forum.pspad.com/read.php?2,64291,64293> PSPad freeware editor http://www.pspad.com
