Re: [oXygen-user] Check spelling again [SOLVED]
Hi group The problem is solved now. I added the Dutch Hunspell dictionary and things work like a charm. You can find the Hunspell dictionaries here: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Dictionaries I also like the option to ignore elements (codeblock, msgblock, codeph...) a lot! Thank you very much for the kind and swift support, Radu. Cheers -- Yves Barbion www.scripto.nu
The conversation about the spellchecking in 11.2 is very interesting to me. My XML markup frequently contains both English and Czech. I stopped using spellchecking because the Czech words always were marked "misspelled" by the English dictionary. Is it possible to use both dictionaries at the same time? Or would I have to add some sort of language attribute to my markup? Mark
Indeed Mark, if you use DITA, you can use the xml:lang attribute for this. For example, I'm writing a Dutch user guide for an English software product. In that case, I will set the xml:lang attribute on my <topic> elements to Dutch (xml:lang="nl-nl"), but I use special elements to refer to the user interface of the software, for example <uicontrol>. The xml:lang attributes for my <uicontrol> elements will be set to <en-us>. The spell-checker will switch between my English and Dutch dictionary automatically. And my translators will know that they will have to be extra careful when they translate the text of my <uicontrol> elements. Great feature! -- Yves Barbion www.scripto.nu
Hi Mark, In addition to what Yves said: In the Oxygen Preferences "Editor / Spell Check" page you have a default dictionary selected which applies when there are no "lang" or "xml:lang" attributes on elements. If you have such attributes present on XML elements (with ISO-like values like "en_US" or "en-us"") dictionaries for the respective languages will be applied (if they are installed, of course). In Oxygen 11.2 it will be easy to add new dictionaries to the Hunspell spell checker.

Thanks for the tip. I've downloaded 11/2, but have not used it yet.
