Hi Daniel,

I would copy the Hunspell files over to the new folder. For example, from the Studio 2019 path C:\Program Files (x86)\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\Studio15\HunspellDictionaries to the Studio 2021 path C:\Program Files (x86)\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\Studio16\HunspellDictionaries.

I think you mean the CUSTOM.DIC file, right?

By default it's here:

C:\Users\[USER_NAME]\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SpellChecker.

You can check the path in Options > Editor > Spelling:

Hi Nora,

thanks a lot, but I was thinking about the custom dictionary ... thousands of "add to dictionary" clicks...

Thanks a lot! Wow, it's just a plain text file with one entry per line! Do you know where I can find more information about Hunspell? I was often wondering whether I can add multi-word entries. THat way I could allow "phat tires" but still flag "phat" if the next word is not "tires" for example. Is that possible or will Hunspell only accept single word entries?

Daniel

Going deep in the Hunspell dictionary format is something that is in my maybe/some time to-do list.

There are resources in internet, like this one: https://www.systutorials.com/docs/linux/man/4-hunspell/

Although I haven't tried it…

That looks very interesting!
