How to install new dictionary
IceWarp WebClient has a built-in spell checker based on Enchant library. Enchant is a free open source library that interfaces many spell checking dictionaries. IceWarp Server uses Hunspell dictionaries, the are the same as the OpenOffice.org uses. Dictionaries already come pre-installed. The administrator can install new languages.
-
To install a new language dictionary, go to http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/dictionary/, select a dictionary and click Download extension.
-
A downloaded file has .oxt extension. It is a zip archive. Unzip the file and copy the files with the .aff and .dic extensions to <InstallDirectory>\enchant\myspell.

Start installation process. Indicate the dictionary installation path:

After the installation, follow these steps:
-
Go to the <InstallDirectory>\config\_webmail folder
-
Find the spellchecker.xml file
-
Open the file in a text editor (notepad) to edit it
-
Add the line with your newly installed dictionary between the <item> and </item> tags. The line consists of the <XY>name of language</XY> tag, where XY is the language code of the dictionary (with optional region and variety, see the dictionary file in /dict/pt_BR.multi and use its filename, such as such as pt_BR in this case).
Example:
<spellchecker_languages>
<item>
<en_US>English</en_US>
<cs>Czech</cs>
<pt_BR>Portuguese</pt_BR>
</item>
</spellchecker_languages>

After editing all languages, save the .xml file

Tip: From the dictionary file name, you can recognize "XY" mentioned below.
Tip:You can copy .aiff/.dic files directly from IceWarp Desktop Client installation folder \Dictionaries.
