Re: Dictionaries and Spell Checker
Hallo subscriber2list (whatever your name is?), Oh, but in that case I must surely be able to manually copy all the words in my own .dic file into UserDic? My .dic file contains thousands of words that I've added to it over the years, and then I wouldn't have to add each word again to TB UserDic every time it comes up. Am I right? Looks like this should work. Have you try it yet? Perhaps, use a reduced subset of your currently defined .dic file. I haven't tried it yet, because nobody has been able to tell me what the letter 'i' after each added word in UserDic means, and whether UserDic can contain words from different languages, or if I should create one UserDic for each language. I would like to know that first, before I start experimenting. -- Best regards, Britt Henrikson Using TB! 2.10.03 on Win2000 Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hallo Roelof, What if you install the intpack again? (Just in case something went bad with the original install.)

Re: Dictionaries and Spell Checker
Hallo Roelof, BH So, why can't TB spell check this mail in AmE when I've installed BH it? How do you try to call it? Via the menu or via the %language=am macro in a template? Menu: Spell Checker - Language - American English.

Re: Dictionaries and Spell Checker
Hi Roelof, You can select the language? Yes. How do you see that it doesn't work? Won't it be/stay selected or don't you agree with the solutions? If AmE is chosen, every single word in the mail is underlined with red. As soon as I choose BrE instead, the lines disappear. Very strange indeed. BTW, what about these two questions? Oh, but in that case I must surely be able to manually copy all the words in my own .dic file into UserDic? My .dic file contains thousands of words that I've added to it over the years, and then I wouldn't have to add each word again to TB UserDic every time it comes up. Am I right? TB would have no means to distinguish between languages. But TB UserDic now contains words from different languages. Hence my question if I should use one dictionary for each language to add new words to. If I add them all to UserDic, how does TB then distinguish between those languages? -- Best regards, Britt Henrikson Using TB! 2.10.03 on Win2000 Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Re[2]: Dictionaries and Spell Checker
Hello Britt and Roelof, I find this interesting. Wednesday, July 7, 2004, 12:03:43 PM, you wrote: BH Hi Roelof, You can select the language? BH Yes. I see where one can select either American English, American English (CSAPI) or British English dictionary. Could I create ... say, a German dictionary (with file type of .tlx, .dic or .txt) and add the file to the list of dictionaries? And if so, is there an option somewhere I could than add German option to the Spell Checker's list of available languages? It looks like the import option only imports file type of .txt. Hhhhmm, looks like I'm asking some of your prior questions in different verbiage, but the possibilities here are interesting. How do you see that it doesn't work?

Dictionaries and Spell Checker
I write mails in several languages and have activated my own dictionaries (.dic files), but I haven't really grasped how it works: TB seems to be able to spell check also those languages with its own UserDic. So which dictionary should I add new words to - different depending on language, or all to UserDic and remove my own dics? When I add words to UserDic the red underlining disappears, when I add them to my own dics it stays. Why is UserDic divided in so many .tlx files?? Each one contains only a few hundred words, and the file UserDic.TLX itself contains only the word I've added to it. Would it be better to make them all into one big file? What does the letter 'i' after each added word in UserDic.TLX mean? What do the .clx files contain and can they be opened and edited? And why can TB only spell check this mail in BrE and not in AmE?? -- Best regards, Britt Henrikson Using TB! 2.10.03 on Win2000 Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Re: Dictionaries and Spell Checker - thanks!
Hi Roelof, thank you so much for your great help! TB has its own library set, you don't need to create another one. OK. Every language you installed has two files, an ssceXX.tlx and an ssceXX2.clx file, where XX stands for the language 'am' for American English, 'du' for Dutch (that's an important one for me), 'go' for German old spelling, etc Aha, very useful information! BH So which dictionary should I add new words to To userdic, OK. you don't need to insert them manually, but via the spell checker interface. Yes, yes, I know that... :-D BH and the file UserDic.TLX itself contains only the word I've added BH to it. That's its function. Oh, but in that case I must surely be able to manually copy all the words in my own .dic file into UserDic?

BTW Did you install all the languages in the international pack? Not quite all, only the ones I need: 12 languages.
