Spellchecker in PASSOLO 2018 and customization

Hello community, 

My project is described in thread[1] and I tried to perform spellchecking in my mother tongue (German) with English resources on a German translation. Now I have several question and found some suggestions they don't work on my PASSOLO 2018 project.

I created a directory structure for each target language to add a custom.dic to the project

and configured my project to use this file

Questions: 

  1. Is it possible to configure spellchecker for compound words? 

    I'd like to set the phrase "(Acknowledge)" as translated and correct in the Custom.dic. How could I do this? 

  2. Set formaters as correct in the spellchecker

    The sample views HTML formats or orders. I'm also interested in printf formats to suppress the display as an spelling error (%d, %s, %i, %02i, %2f, ...)

If you need more information don't hesitate to reply on this post. 

TIA

  • Without going into detail I would answer the question regarding the spellchecking as follows:

    #1: Passolo has an inbuilt spellchecker, based on a component that once was implemented by the development team. This component is just supporting 13 languages and doesn’t support compound words. I would always suggest to switch the spellchecker to MS Word which is also supported by Passolo. A license of MS Word and the corresponding Proofing Tools for the languages you want to check must be installed on your or on the translators system. Custom.dic files can be used with the inbuilt as well as with the MS Word spellchecker.

    #2: This will also go away when using the MS Word spellchecker as it is aware of such placeholders. Maybe not all, but I tested it with %s, {0}, <a>, etc.
