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, which are the same like, for example, OpenOffice.org uses. Dictionaries already come pre-installed, but an 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 in fact a zip archive. Unzip the file with a convenient tool, and copy files with the .aff and .dic extensions to <InstallDirectory>\enchant\myspell.
-
Start installation process. Indicate the dictionary installation path:
-
After installation, go through the following 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 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
- Check whether all languages are added by selecting Options > Mail > Mail Compose in the IceWarp WebClient menu.
- As you can see on the picture above, you can choose from all installed language dictionaries for default checking. This is the last installation step.
Tip: From the dictionary file name, you can detect "XY" mentioned below.
Tip:You can copy .aiff/.dic files directly from IceWarp Desktop Client installation folder \Dictionaries.
