 I do use LyxBook --Archaic as document class, it is for a novel, perhaps
 this class does not support Dutch?


This is not related to the class. In recent versions of babel (the
multilingual package), the individual language support files have been
split from the core package (which is a good move from a babel maintenance
point of view). For some strange reason, however, these language packages
are not installed by default by some distros.

I suppose you need to check whether you have the necessary
texlive-lang-yourlang packages installed.

Hi Bart,

More information would be useful. How did you upgrade? Did you upgrade
in Ubuntu? Or by upgrade do you mean you did a clean install of
13.10 (in which case the fact that you upgraded from 13.04 or
whichever version is irrelevant)?

You have enchant installed, but what settings do you have under Tools
 Preferences  Language Settings  Spellchecker?

You mentioned that *dutch* spell checking does not work. Does spell
checking in other languages work?

I'm confident we can get your spell checking up and running as I've
had good experience (in various languages) on Ubuntu.

Best,

Scott

 Hi all,

 I've upgraded to kubuntu 13.10 and can't get my dutch spell checking to work
 in Lyx. It seems to be an issue after each setup I do, though usually I find
 what I need, but now I don't.

 Enchant is installed, myspell-nl too, something specifically I've got to do
 in lyx?

 thanks in advance,

 Upgrade initially was just upgrading through the ubuntu-tools, apt-get
 do-upgrade (or something similar), but I've had quite some issues, so I then
 did a fresh install of ubuntustudio 13.10, added kubuntu through synaptic,
 because xfce doesn't fit my needs.

 My home dir is a seperate partition, so I don't have to move it all on each
 fresh install, just mount the same drive as /home, so I guess the config
 files of my previous installation should be the same.

The config files of LyX are in ~/.lyx so perhaps they did not change
(a difference on the system could have lead to a reconfigure in some
cases I think though).

 Anyways, here's the requested info:

 Tools - Language Settings - Spellchecker shows:

 Engine: Enchant
 Alternative Language: Dutch
 Escape Characters: empty
 Spellcheck continuously: on
 Spellcheck notes and comments: on

 When pressing F7 (Spell checker) I get the message: Spell checker has no
 dictionaries

 In Document settings the Language is set to
 Dutch,
 encoding: Language Default,
 Language package: now set to 'always babel' because I've tried them all, and
 none seemed to work.

 I hope it already shows an error in my configuration.

I'm hoping that doing Tools  Reconfigure will fix this. My guess is
that LyX doesn't know where the spelling libraries are since the
system changed. Does that work?

Re: spell check (again)

I'm sorry, I did intend to reply to the list, but gmail has different
defaults then what people want of course.

reconfigure doesn't do any better. I deleted the config file in .lyx
directory, didn't help either.

In  language Settings - Language
I have now 'Dutch' as user interface language, but it remains English
anyway...
Language package: Automatic
Command start: \selectlanguage{$$lang}

Do I have to replace 'lang' with 'nl' or 'dutch'? I expect it should stay
'lang', as a variable, set by the language package.

The spell checker uses the language of your text automatically.

You have to set your document language to Dutch or mark your text with Dutch 
language.
So you can mix languages easily and spell checking is done with the appropriate 
dictionaries.

  Engine: Enchant
  Alternative Language: Dutch
  Escape Characters: empty
  Spellcheck continuously: on
  Spellcheck notes and comments: on
 
  When pressing F7 (Spell checker) I get the message: Spell checker has no
  dictionaries
 
  In Document settings the Language is set to
  Dutch,
  encoding: Language Default,
  Language package: now set to 'always babel' because I've tried them
 all, and

  I hope it already shows an error in my configuration.

 I'm hoping that doing Tools  Reconfigure will fix this. My guess is
 that LyX doesn't know where the spelling libraries are since the
 system changed. Does that work?

Well, I was a bit too fast... where do I enter the language to get to Dutch
then? It corrects in English.

The spell checker uses the language of your text automatically.

You have to set your document language to Dutch or mark your text with Dutch 
language.
So you can mix languages easily and spell checking is done with the appropriate 
dictionaries.

Re: spell check (again)

[Scott Kostyshak]

Hi Bart,

More information would be useful. How did you upgrade? Did you upgrade
in Ubuntu? Or by "upgrade" do you mean you did a clean install of
13.10 (in which case the fact that you "upgraded" from 13.04 or
whichever version is irrelevant)?

You have enchant installed, but what settings do you have under Tools
> Preferences > Language Settings > Spellchecker?

You mentioned that *dutch* spell checking does not work. Does spell
checking in other languages work?

I'm confident we can get your spell checking up and running as I've
had good experience (in various languages) on Ubuntu.

Best,

Scott

The config files of LyX are in ~/.lyx so perhaps they did not change
(a difference on the system could have lead to a reconfigure in some
cases I think though).

Re: spell check (again)

[bart deruyter]

I'm sorry, I did intend to reply to the list, but gmail has different
defaults then what people want of course.

reconfigure doesn't do any better. I deleted the config file in .lyx
directory, didn't help either.

In  language Settings -> Language
I have now 'Dutch' as user interface language, but it remains English
anyway...
Language package: Automatic
Command start: \selectlanguage{$$lang}

Do I have to replace 'lang' with 'nl' or 'dutch'? I expect it should stay
'lang', as a variable, set by the language package.

Grtz,

Bart

The spell checker uses the language of your text automatically.

You have to set your document language to Dutch or mark your text with "Dutch" 
language.
So you can mix languages easily and spell checking is done with the appropriate 
dictionaries.
