Re: Spellcheck>SOLVED

[Wolfgang Engelmann]

Have you installed either ispell, hunspell or aspell yet? Enchant can 
use any of them, I think. (I'm on Linux Mint, and I use enchant + 
aspell, for what it's worth.) You should be able to install whichever 
you choose, plus appropriate dictionaries, using the Debian package 
manager (apt? synaptic?). I don't think you need to install from source.

Thanks all who helped me with the spellchecking.
I do have enchant (Debian bullseye) and in

enchant/which is in ~/.config/enchant$

de_DE.dic  de_DE.exc  de.dic  de.exc  en_GB.dic  en_GB.exc  en_US.dic 
en_US.exc


I found the added personal dictionary in en_GB.dic

So, all is well

That is correct,

On my Debian Bullseye system I find:

en.dict
en_AU.dict
en_AU.exe
en_GB.dict
en_GB.exe

And others.

Not all have my added words in them, some of these files are empty.

I think the GB Great Britain and US, USA dicts are when I used a
different language and entered my own words and spellings.

> > de_DE.dic  de_DE.exc  de.dic  de.exc  en_GB.dic  en_GB.exc
> > en_US.dic en_US.exc

Maybe if you open these files you may find the words and the "in use"
dictionary you seek?

Hope that helps,

You can tell LyX to record the words that will be recognized as
correct by "Add to personal dictionary" . These are saved as text
files in the personal folder with a name e.g. pwl_english.dict.

Does "But how do I find this one?"  mean, you want to find the the 
".dict" text file that includes the added words and its location?


Under windows,  the file is located in the user directory, which is 
usually located at:


C:\Users\-username\AppData\Roaming\LyX2.3\

Under Linux, I believe it is also in the folder where all the user and 
LyX settings are kept. But  Maybe others can help?


Maybe you can do a quick "where" under Linux to find the file?

Hope I got your question correctly.

Hej Helena!

Nice with another Swede on the list!

I think it will be easier to help you if you tell us what OS and version

If you're using cocoAspell, you should tell LyX to store the personal
dictionary in ~/Library/Spelling/. Thus, go to LyX  Preferences 
Language Settings  Spellchecker, and in the Personal dictionary

After that it should work.

Lyx-1.3.4 segfaults during spellchecking if I hit Enter instead of the 
Replace

seldom,
aspell offers generally a good alternative).

Solaris, qt, French dictionary.



I can confirm this in LyX 1.4.3 on Windows XP (LyXWinInstaller), english

Re: spellcheck problems when pasting from a document with different language

 Hello everyone,
 I have a problem with the spellchecker language when pasting some text
 from a document written in a different language.
 To be more specific, I have a paper written in English and a PhD
 thesis in Italian. I want to copy and paste some stuff (like formulae,
 acronyms etc) from one to the other, but what I get in the document is
 test underlined, that is LyX keeps the language information with text
 so that when I do spellcheck the spellchecker deals with new text as
 if it was in the old language. This would not be annoying, except that
 LyX keeps the old language if keep writing on the same line of the
 pasted text, so that now I have plenty of pages in Italian that are
 treated as English (so no spellchecking!).

 I hope I was clear...please tell me if there's some way to tell LyX
 that those lines are actually in Italian, or if I made any mistake.
Yes, there is an easy way. Mark the Italian text that LyX mistakes
for english. Then use the menu edit-text style  (for lyx 1.4.x)
or layout-tex (for lyx 1.3.x and earlier)

You get a dialog box where one of the things you may change
is language. Set it to Italian and you'll be fine.


Next time, use this dialog as soon as the language goes wrong,
thereby avoiding lots of text marked with the wrong language.


Helge Hafting



thanks, it worked...my problem was I didn't think I could find aome
language setting in the text layout...

 thesis in Italian. I want to copy and paste some stuff (like formulae,
 acronyms etc) from one to the other, but what I get in the document is
 test underlined, that is LyX keeps the language information with text
 so that when I do spellcheck the spellchecker deals with new text as
 if it was in the old language. This would not be annoying, except that
 LyX keeps the old language if keep writing on the same line of the
 pasted text, so that now I have plenty of pages in Italian that are
 treated as English (so no spellchecking!).

 I hope I was clear...please tell me if there's some way to tell LyX
 that those lines are actually in Italian, or if I made any mistake.
Yes, there is an easy way. Mark the Italian text that LyX mistakes
for english. Then use the menu edit-text style  (for lyx 1.4.x)
or layout-tex (for lyx 1.3.x and earlier)

You get a dialog box where one of the things you may change
is language. Set it to Italian and you'll be fine.


Next time, use this dialog as soon as the language goes wrong,
thereby avoiding lots of text marked with the wrong language.

thanks, it worked...my problem was I didn't think I could find aome

You need aspell (and a dictionary) installed, and I'm pretty sure it has

Simply install Aspell, but it must be installed to C:\Aspell.

You can also use the new installer that does this automatically for you:

I'm not sure how to set up spellcheck for windows. It kind of looks
like Ispell is only for Unix. How would I do this?


Download and install aspell from http://aspell.net/win32/ and the dictionary 
of your language. It is important to install this in c:\Aspell (see wiki 
http://wiki.lyx.org/Windows/LyX136)


Then Lyx should do spellchecking fine. If you look under preferences it will 
say ispell but it works.

This is a small annoyance with the spell checker:

Open a new file and enter four mistyped words that will give more than
one possible alternative.  I'm using an English library so I've typed

Youor aer ache tiday?

Place cursor in front of youor and start the spellchecker

The first word is correctly found and can be replaced
However, the second word at the top of the list is ear. You cannot now
click on this and replace directly. You need to click on any other in
the list and then click back on ear to get it to be placed into the

Going by the same steps. Once the 'aer' is selected, if i dont click on the 
right choice 'ear' within a second the word 'aer' is deselected and cursor 
comes to the right of 'aer'. However this does not happen with 'tiday'.  Here 
are the steps.
1. Write the text  Youor aer ache tiday?
2. Go to the start of the word and hit F7
3. Replace the first word with 'Your'
4. Sit for some time with the word 'aer' selected , it will get deselected in 
a second
5. Click on replace and 'ear' is appended to 'aer'

I'm not sure why you are seeing things get deselected randomly after
some time, we certainly don't have any code that does that. And I can't
