Spell checker is disabled (language not supported)

Hello all:

I am running SDL Trados Studio 2015, and I want to spell check a project with the target language Spanish (Latin America). I read about how the Hunspell spellchecker only works with Spanish (Spain) and Spanish (Mexico), and also how to add other languages. So, I copied the dictionary files es_MX.aff and es_MX.dic, and renamed them es_LA.aff, and es_LA.dic, and also edited the spellcheckmanager_config.xml file to add my target language, but this has not worked. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Saludos,

Enrique

  • Hello Enrique,

    I agree both with Paul and Nora. However, if it still doesn't work with the code they have suggested, you might have to do an additional change in the .aff file. Say that you have already renamed the dictionary files as es-419.aff and es-419.dic. Now you'll have to open es-419.aff file via a text editor (Wordpad or Notepad) and in the second line you'll see something like this:

    LANG es_MX (or any other ISO code)

    Just change the ISO code to es-419, save the file and that's all. You might have to move the file to Desktop first and change it there, and then copy it with administrator rights back to the HunspellDictionaries folder.

    Hope this helps.
