The spell checker in the bad taste of the English

So I am sure I posted this a couple of weeks, but I can't find he's going so here once again.

I am running Firefox 3.6.13 provided with Ubuntu (10.10).

When I use a word like flavor, the spell checker highlights with the tildes and suggests 'flavour '. Similarly for the behavior and other words. I agree (that I just sqiggled; he wants to "recognize) as the British spelling convention. I downloaded the 5.01 spell English of the United States, but that was of no use. I finally thought to look in: config and found: spellchecker.dictionary the value en_AU - in other words, the Australian Dictionary.

I can't just blindly this put to US without knowing that:
-C' is the correct name for the dictionary I need. (Seems likely).
-That the extension above is indeed the dictionary it would have access.

I note that the Australian Dictionary is spelled en_AU - with an underscore - while the American dictionary is spelled en - with a dash. It is the kind of stuff I have to watch out for, because if I bumble, I am not able to restart FireFox.

Thanks for the help here.

Is easier to let Firefox to do this.

You can see which dictionary is selected if you right click in a text box and open the submenu language.

You can open the "Add Dictionaries" link to install a dictionary if you don't.

Also make sure that [X] "Check spelling" in the menu contextual has a tick.

  • How to prevent the spell checker to automatically change the word I type?

    Hello

    I own a MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite 10.10.5.

    Processor: Intel Core i5 at 2.8 GHz
    Memory: 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

    I was struggling with the spelling corrector assuming what I type is wrong and so it changes the word for another while I am always type, the result is that the mess this creates a bad word that will not be corrected because the editor already "fixed" it while "I screwed up".

    The fact is that I'm Brazilian, so my first language is Brazilian Portuguese, which uses a series of special characters such as to, a, a, a, e, e, i, o, o, o and c, Furthermore, we seem to have many more words in our vocabulary and verb time if compared to English. The corrector seems to get confused with that too, and some Word's closer to her I am writing.
    What seems to be the boss, is that in English, the feature is very useful, but when I type special characters, it assumes that this word should not be even with the input source for Brazilian Portuguese, which makes me wonder why I would fix it for my language if I have not noticed any difference at all. He gets it wrong in 90% of the time and a Word by a word it is delay my work and make me hate my computer.

    Please, don't you know any solution for this? Go to system preferences > keyboard > text and UN-checking the "correct spelling automatically" doesn't change anything, even after restarting the computer. It's stressing me out of having to correct this as the corrector mess every 5 minutes!

    Any ideas how to get rid of it?

    Thank you!

    The input source has nothing to do with spell checking and AutoCorrect.  Dictionary used for this defined under Edition > spelling and grammar > show spelling and grammar (or in the system preferences, keyboard, text, spelling).  For best results, use the dictionary for your language and not "automatic".

  • Adobe Flash Professional CS6, cannot use the spell checker, missing or not there

    I am trying to use the spell checker on Adobe Flash CS6, everywhere I look for help is very minimal. Most places just say click text > then check the spelling, but I cannot see anywhere, I found these instructions at the assistance of Adobe CS6, but help on the Adobe website has been short a useless.

    I'm not sure what is bad mainly because of the minimal help, I found online, but as I said, check spelling is not under the text and nowhere else as far as I can tell. Any advice would help, I think I remember having to add a spelling dictionary to check manually on the older versions of Macromedia Flash is the case here? If so why is it so difficult to find help on this topic?



    Thank you in advance for any help.

  • How to disable permanently the spell check in Notes

    How to disable permanently the spell check in Notes?

    Here are my steps:

    1. With the help of Notes in OS X 10.11.5, click Edit/spelling and grammar and then clearly the 2 options "check spelling as you type" and "automatically correct spelling."
    2. Close and re - open Notes.

    What I expected:

    only the two options "check spelling as you type" and "automatically correct spelling" is always disabled when Notes is reopened

    In fact:

    the two options "check spelling as you type" and "automatically correct spelling" is enabled once more

    Spell check in Notes for a reason any seems particularly disruptive and unnecessary. Any way to turn it off permanently?

  • How to get spell checking to verify the entries of individual line?

    I recently had to create a new profile to resolve a problem with my old FF. But now the new profile, being new, do not check the spelling of the single line entries (as in the ' question' above.) But don't the input areas of text to spell check (like the one I'm typing right now).

    I know that there is a topic: changing the setting of configuration to get there, but I can't find it documented anywhere. Is there a topic: document config? Omitting can someone tell me what changes I need to do?

    layout.spellcheckDefault; 1

    Unofficial MozillaZine site has great documentation on many preferences in about: config. For this one:

    http://KB.mozillazine.org/layout.spellcheckDefault

    So it should work:

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press enter/return. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste SPEL and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the layout.spellcheckDefault preference and change 1-2 spell check single-line controls as well as controls the multiline.

    Note: This should turn the spell checking on by default, but sites can always turn off.

  • How to keep English as a default value in the spell checker after adding another dictionary?

    I added a Spanish dictionary for firefox that I sometimes email Spanish-speaking. Since then, the spell checker has stuck to Spanish language by default whenever I restart the browser.
    As soon as I select English, it remains until I close the browser. But goes back to Spanish when I open a new window.
    I tried every setting I could find, and I also tried to remove and reinstall both languages via add dictionary.
    I am at a loss. Can anyone offer some advice?
    Thank you

    You can check the spellchecker.dictionary pref setting on the topic: config page and if the pref tells the user the value (in bold) and then try to reset via the context menu to the default value.

    You can open the topic: config page via the address bar.
    You can accept the warning and click on "I'll be careful" to continue.

    If you do not keep the changes after a reboot or have problems with preferences, see:

  • How can I get the spell checker to work on emails?

    New computer. Using Mozilla Thunderbird for email but the spell checker does not work.

    Do you have a dictionary installed or selected? (See attached image).

    You have activated the spell under Tools | Options of| Composition | The spelling?

    You can also download a dictionary in the settings pane opened by the latter sense, but the link it provides is almost certainly open in Thunderbird. At some point, it of better with the right button and select 'Open in browser' and it will re - open in your default browser. From there, you can download. I would recommend you right click on the proposed link, use "Save as" and download it. You can then drag the file downloaded from the window modules modules of Thunderbird, or use the small button to the left of the search box in the window.

  • How can I activate the spell checker on Web sites?

    I tried to contact turnitin.com about why check spelling doesn't seem to work on their site. They said that is not an option for their software, and it must be a Firefox problem I see more indications of faults spelling on reviews I have type in trials. Yet, my preferences are set to have spell checker. Is there a workaround or something I should activate?

    Thank you!

    Might have already checked, but if you right-click in the area where you want Firefox to check spelling, the context menu list "check spelling" as an option? It does not always work. Also, on some versions of Firefox, you must select the dictionary in the language on the context menu items.

  • I can't get the spell checker to work

    The instructions I read constantly talk about menu options, I don't see. Then I found a link to download a dictionary and followed the hope that might work, and when I tried to install that it said that it was not compatible with 33. If I can't get Firefox fix the spelling I am gooing to delete it immediately. I can't believe that I have already spent a lot of time on something so fake, but impossible to live without, in my world.

    There is no spell check Firefox for Android.

    Most keyboards have this feature by suggesting words that you type. The spelling of the words you enter correctly value is low. In addition dictionaries for all the languages that Firefox support would result in a greater app to download in megabytes.

  • How to disable the spell checking when using facebook

    Hello. I just started using Firefox and am really impressed. I like it.

    I noticed that when you post a message on Facebook, there is a spell checker that runs and highlights words that are misspelled. I don't see this using IE9. Is it possible to disable this "spell check"?

    Thank you

    Hello

    You can enable spell check:

    • Tools > Options (Edit > Preferences in Mac and Linux)
    • On the Advanced Options tab, uncheck "check my spelling as I type".

    Alternatively inside any input text area, you just right-click and select "Check my spelling" - he should stop checking your spelling.
