from xara help file
i have win 7 french with everything in french, yet xara only offers me english (uk) and english (us) as spellchecker language optionsQuote:
Language selection
The menu shown when you click on the Spell Checker icon on the infobar lists all the languages for which you have dictionaries installed. By default the language corresponding to the current locale setting is selected
anybody know how i can add french? is there a registry key i can edit?
thx in adnvace
try to downoad French dictionaries from http://www.dicollecte.org/download.php?prj=fr. Choose the right *.aff and *.dic file (i.e. fr-classique.aff and fr-classique.dic) and place them in the dict folder under the Xara Designer programs folder (default: "C:\Program Files\Xara\Xara Designer Pro X") and rename them fr_FR.aff and fr_FR.dic. When you start Xara designer Pro your new language should be listed as possible spell check.
that worked just great, thank you very much
In fact, for it's spell checking Xara depends on the freeware HunSpell libraries. You can find all different languages at http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Dictionaries.
More info and a comprehensive way to install dictionaries (which isn't as easy as I thought) can be found at: http://www.talkgraphics.com/showthre...o-Web-Designer
