Hi Wamuggers
I've been reading the discussion about dictionaries and spell-
checkers. I've downloaded a copy of cocoaAspell and have been
looking for an Australian English Aspell dictionary. There is a
list at
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/dict
Their is not a specific AU dictionary I am aware of for Aspell
(Craig might know of one?), one must use a variant from the English
available once you download aspell6-en-6.0-0.tar.bz2 in the en folder
at ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/dict and install.
Follow instructions at http://cocoaspell.leuski.net/ dictionaries to
install. I also goto aspell-0.60-0 folder at location you unzipped
the download and do:
./configure
make
make install
This guarantees that Tiger will find libraries in all programs
including X11, then visit spelling in System Preferences and select
your variant. Add words to your library of choice as you use,
remembering to backup your libraries so as to enable re-installation
later.
Is there an Aussie dictionary? I can't identify one here.
In my search I've found this Government website:
http://www.opensource.wa.gov.au/ and
http://www.opensource.wa.gov.au/applications/apps/system-
internationalization.html
Interesting reading
Regards
Reg
