I'm afraid not.  The only options in Trados Studio are to use MS Word and Hunspell.  There is also no public API available for spell checking so even if there was an API available with "Hangul Word" it would require the Studio development team to add this.  I took a quick look around their website ( https://office.hancom.com/ ) to see if they do offer a public API but as far as I can see they do not offer this.  So on that basis, at the moment, it really looks like you have no option for this at all.

I did wonder if LanguageTool would be a suitable alternative, but they don't seem to offer support for Korean either - https://dev.languagetool.org/languages

Maybe Hunspell could be a solution for you?  Your feedback on what's possible already with hunspell would be useful and perhaps something could be done with this solution I found with a quick google search: https://github.com/spellcheck-ko/hunspell-dict-ko  That seems to have been last updated 5 months ago so perhaps a useful solution and does seem to support the creation of aff/dic files which Studio would need.

Hi Paul,

Thank you for checking if there is another solution, however, in the meantime, it is not available as you explored.
No choice. 
I need to copy + paste the sentences or paragraphs to the Hangul Word if my translations meet grammar.

FYI - Locally in Korea, RWS team recommends 'MS Word spell checker' instead of 'Hunspell'.

In fact I just checked and we don't ship Korean Hunspell.  So, to simplify things I just downloaded the aff/dic files from the github site above which you'll find in this zip:

ko-aff-dic-0.7.92.zip

Perhaps you can try it and see how useful they are?  You didn't say what version of Studio you have so I just tested myself to see if they work at least.  I copied the aff/dic files to here:

c:\Program Files (x86)\Trados\Trados Studio\Studio17\HunspellDictionaries\

I renamed then as follows:

ko_KR.dic
ko_KR.aff

And I added these lines into this file:

c:\Program Files (x86)\Trados\Trados Studio\Studio17\HunspellDictionaries\spellcheckmanager_config.xml

<language>
  <isoCode>ko-KR</isoCode>
  <dict>ko_KR</dict>
</language>

Then restarted Studio.  It does seem to work and recognises there is a dictionary there... but I'm not sure it's actually useful.  Despite there being some size to the files:

The spell checker seems to stop at every word for me and cannot find them... but perhaps you'll see something I don't.  Could also be that these were created for use with linux, MAC operating systems in which case we can take a look and see whether we can do something with them.  Maybe worth a little effort as Hunspell is probably the easiest route at the moment..

My version is 2022, Trados Studio 2022. 

Thank you for your extra miles help. Let me try to install it and see if it works.

Best regards,

Sunny

Unfortunately, I doesn't work, I probably missed some steps. I didn't do this step below, just in case I had to do.

Check Spelling is inactive in grey color. (the last screen capture image)

Yes... essential step!

What editor application should I use? 
When I tried to update the Spellcheckermanger_config.xml after using Windows memo (extention was .txt), it said 'you're not authorized to update this file, please check with an Administrator...'.  Even though I successfully edit the file, I may not be allowed to update this file.

Best regards,

Sunny

Any text editor.

You will need admin rights.

Thank you Paul.
I will try access my PC as administrator.

I've edited the spellchecker_config.xml file as you showed.

Hi Paul 

I have seen this error message after I pasted the ~ config.xml file into the directory.

Could you please have a look and give me advice?
If you don't have further advice, it is OK. I can go back to use 'MS Word Spell Checker.
I am worrying that I take your time too much. 

Best regards,

Sunny

This is incorrect:

Should be these names:

ko_KR.aff
ko_KR.dic
