Adding a Dictionary for the Hunspell Checker

To add a new spelling dictionary to Oxygen XML Editor plugin or to replace an existing one you should follow these steps:

  1. Download the archive with the files of your language dictionary.
    A dictionary has two files with the same name and different extensions: a file with .dic extension and a file with .aff extension.
  2. Copy the .aff and .dic files to the spell subfolder of the Oxygen XML Editor plugin preferences folder only if it is a new dictionary (it is not available as built-in dictionary in Oxygen XML Editor plugin ). The Oxygen XML Editor plugin preferences folder is >, where [APPLICATION-DATA-FOLDER] is:
    • C:\Documents and Settings\[LOGIN-USER-NAME]\Application Data on Windows XP
    • C:\Users\[LOGIN-USER-NAME]\AppData\Roaming on Windows Vista
    • [USER-HOME-FOLDER]/Library/Preferences on Mac OS X
    • [USER-HOME-FOLDER] on Linux
  3. Copy the .aff and .dic files into the folder [Oxygen-install-folder]/dicts only if it is an existing dictionary.
  4. Restart the application after copying the dictionary files.
