Hi there

Am using Thunderbird 0.8 for Linux (SUSE 9.1). I have downloaded the English / United Kingdom dictionary and installed it (spell-en-GB). The installer says v0.1 has been installed successfully but if I go into the spell checker and select the Languages tab I still only see the English / United States dictionary. Any ideas?

Thank you

I'm reporting the same problem as Kevin.
I've additionally downloaded the french, spanish, german and italian dictionaries and always got the same message from the installer claiming successful installation but then no other language was available apart from English / US! I'm using Suse 8.2. Any ideas?

Thank you very much!

You need to have access to the program folder (more specific the [program]/components/myspell directory). My script doesn't detect if that is the case, and reports the installation as a success anyway... sorry!

Hello Rockstiff!

I've temporarily added the write permission (for not-root users) to the myspell sub-directory and the dictionaries have been correctly installed therein. Now it works fine! Thank you very much!

P.S.: A error message indicating a missing write permission during the installation would be beneficial...

Spell dictionaries get instlled in the wrong folder.

I have installed on my Win2k machine Mozilla.org, Firefox (v.0.8) and Thunderbird (v.1.0beta).

New dictionaries get installed in "[Program Files\]Mozilla Firefox\components\myspell".

If you move the files (*.aff and *.dic) to "[Program Files\]Mozilla Thunderbird\components\myspell" and restart Thunderbird all is o.k. Of course you need to be able to access the Programs Folder.

No, they don't... you should read the installation instructions.

If you just click on the xpi-files they get installed into Firefox (for use with Spellbound). If you wish to install them into Thunderbird you should *download* the xpi-files and open them with Thunderbird's extension manager.

Hello all,

can anyone tell me, why I can't download the dictionaries with firebird. Everytime I right-click and click "save link as" I get en error message that the file I would like to download has been moved or is not available. I am using Firefox since the first version and this error occurs since the first version.
I always have to use MS IE to download Firebird and Thunderbird extensions.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

I write email in both Dutch and English - in some cases both languages in the same message!

One really cool feature of Eudora is that you can specify multiple dictionaries to use for spell check, which are all used *simultaneously*! I used to have en-US, en-UK and nl-NL dictionaries installed.

Thunderbird, with these dictionaries, will only use one dictionary, so that you have to pick the right one when checking. And it won't be able to deal with multiple languages in one message.
Is there a way to let Thunderbird do the same thing that Eudora does? Or alternatively, is there an easy way to generate a "combined" dictionary?

Thanks,

- Michael

I have controlled write permissions to the ../myspell folder and I can see the new files being placed in the folder; sv.aff and sv.dic. I have tried with danish, french and other languages.

Do you have any plans to support the new extensions mechanism (using install.rdf) for Firefox and Thunderbird ? I am finding that I must re-install spelling packs if I update my apps because the install is to the application directory rather than the profile.

rockstiff - the latest release of SpellBound installs the libraries and components required for it to work with Firefox into the profile directory. Since the path to the myspell dictionaries is hardcoded in the libraries used by the Mozilla Suite and Thunderbird this will also affect SpellBound and will be fixed when it is fixed in the Mozilla Suite and Thunderbird. There is even a comment in the code stating it should be a preference so the path to the dictionaries can be user defined. If / when I have time to spend on making this change to the myspell code in Mozilla I will if someone else hasn't already done so... other than that there is no solution to this issue regarding the libraries.

Geoff - chances are you are running into a permissions problem regarding installing the dictionaries into the application components directory. The location is components/myspell/ in your app directory and if the account you are running Firefox with doesn't have the privs the directory etc. won't be created. If everything is set up properly you should be able to run Firefox as the account that installed it and then install the dictionaries. You should also be able to unzip the xpi file for the dictionary and copy the .aff and .dic file into the myspell directory I previously referenced. As stated in my previous comment the path is hardcoded in the libraries which are used by the Mozilla Suite, Thunderbird, and SpellBound. This is also why there is a two step install method on the SpellBound web site primarily for Linux users. The first step requires the privileges and installs the dictionary into the previously mentioned directory... the second step install the components/libraries and the extension into the profile directory as of the 0.7.0 release.

[24] Submitted by: Robert Strong on Monday 29th November 2004 at 23:40 -0500

CrazyFred - regarding supporting the new install.rdf methodology... until the path to the dictionaries is configurable there is no value in using an install.rdf since the libraries require the dictionaries to be located in the application directory.

BTW: For those of you that had problems installing spellbound 0.6.0 with the Firefox 1.0 release there appears to be a bug in the Extension Manager with some systems not properly updating the maxVersion... hopefully this will be fixed in the next release of Firefox. Anyways, SpellBound 0.7.0 as released today which will resolve this issue as it relates to installing SpellBound but obviously not for Firefox in general.

Stefan - did you get the Welsh dictionary I sent you? I also have one for Estonia but I am unable to read the license so I am unsure of whether or not you'd like to host it. There is also a simple fix available for the contractions issue for the en-US dictionary that is detailed in Bug ID 218463.

After a couple of weeks of installing the dictionary not working, I tried again today and the install worked. I have no idea what changed - I am still using the same Moz release as back then.

Previously when prompted to install, after clicking the install button nothing happened. Today, it went through the install procedure with the progress bar and all. If the problem happens again I will file a Mozilla bug.

ChaingMaiMike - I've received several emails for SpellBound with the same statement and the reason is the vast majority of the dictionaries come from OpenOffice.org... if you check the spelling of the word OpenOffice it is also not in the dictionaries. It seems to me that this is the proper approach and anyone wanting words not in the dictionary can always add them to their personal dictionary.

One way around this is to download the dictionary xpi file, unzip it with your favorite zip program (e.g. winzip, winrar, etc.), and copy the .aff and .dic files into your thunderbird app's components/myspell directory. I tried it with the Swedish dictionary and the dictionary does work.

Hey, rockstiff,

I re-read the first page several times when I was trying to figure out how to tell someone that the Spanish (Mexico) dictionary lacks the word "y", which is really unfortunate, as it's a conjunction meaning "and" in English. The first page says, "Please contact the author of the dictionary for any questions or comments!" Great. Nowhere is any indication given for how to determine who the author of a dictionary is. Also, it's possible that the information is hidden somewhere, and I just don't know how to find it.

In either case, on the first page would you mind telling us how to find the authors' names?

Thanks!

For Thunderbird users that are having trouble installing you can:
1) copy the link from the Installation page.
2) select the Tools menu
3) select the Extensions menuitem
4) click the Install button
5 paste the link into filename textbox.
6) click OK. It may take a little while because it will first download the file into a temp directory before installing it.
7) Click the Install Now button in the Software Installation dialog after the button finishes the 3 second countdown.

I installed two german dictionaries (German-DE and German-AT), but only the DE seems to actually contain something, while the AT seems to be empty. The AT never suggests any words. I'm using Thunderbird 1.0.2

Charles:

Can you go to the directory where you installed Mozilla and look in the components/myspell folder, have the files been installed? (you should se a bunch of files with names similar to en-US.dic/aff)
Do you have permission to write to the Mozilla directory?

Theodor D.:

It seems as though the AT version only contains words that differ from DE... that's probably why

In order to install new dictionaries for Mozilla Mail in Windows 98SE, the files first must be downloaded via a right-click.
Then the .xpi files must be converted to .zip files, and the .dic and .aff files must be extracted to
C:\Program Files\mozilla.org\Mozilla\components\myspell
The automatic installation just does not work with this version of Windows.

I recently installed de-DE and en-GB by running thunderbird as root and following the instructions. Now the German dictionary works, but the GB one just doensn't check anything at all (never picks up any mistakes). I have verified that the files README-en-GB.txt, en-GB.aff and en-GB.dic are in /usr/lib/MozillaThunderbird/components/myspell where the German ones also lie. What could be the problem? Using thunderbird 1.0.5

If you are using spell as you type in Thunderbird Trunk you must firstt make that dictitonary the active dictionary - one way is to launch a normal spell check, select the dictionary in the lower left, and then click close... it may be a good idea to verify that the setting was applied by launching a normal spell check again and verifying the dictionary you justt selected is still selected. If you are using the spell check dialog you must first select the dictionary in the lower left of the dialog and select recheck.

I did all of that many times already, but the problem persists as described above.

When I run thunderbird from the command line as root(to get access rights to the relevant directories) and I (re)install en-GB, it keeps printing the following message in the terminal:

*** loading the extensions datasource
*** getItemProperty failing for lack of an item. This means getResourceForItem failed to locate a resource for aItemID (item ID = file:///home/kilian/temp/spell-en-GB.xpi, property = disabled)
*** getItemProperty failing for lack of an item. This means getResourceForItem failed to locate a resource for aItemID (item ID = file:///home/kilian/temp/spell-en-GB.xpi, property = internalName)

Could this be the reason for failure? There can only be 3 things wrong:

1) A bug in thunderbird (should I file one?)
2) A bug in the dictionary .xpi (unlikely?)
3) A corrupt spell-en-GB.xpi (md5sum ba686d49605c87a766f8f79f28825e01)

What should I do?

Kilian - those are installer messages and have nothing to do with the dictionary after it is installed.

I wouldn't bother with re-installing. All that install does is place the files in the archive into the app dir's components/myspell dir.

What happens when you bring up the spell checker interface and select the dictionary from the lower left drop down box?

I am typing a letter in Polish using an English keyboard because I live in the US. I have installed Thunderbird and the Polish language extension. The spell check works ok, but it does not help me correct all of the errors. Sometimes it skips over a word, or does not fully correct it. Other times it gives me few options, but the correct one is not in the list. Below is my e-mail message in Polish and the list of words that do not get corrected all the way.
If there is a solution please send me an e-mail @ banasw01@serverart.org.

I've finally tracked down the problem, it's a subtle but annoying permissions issue.

The installation script installs the .dic, .aff and README files of en-GB in the [program]/components/myspell directory with permissions 400 instead of 644 (which is the case for de-DE btw).

When I install the dictionary using my approach (run thunderbird as root and install), an ordinary user such as myself can no longer read the files and the spellcheck misbehaves as I described above.

When you install it though using Marcello Vena's approach (post #5), it seems to work but only the user who installed it will be able to use the dictionary.

To cut a long story short, PLEASE MODIFY THE en-GB .xpi accordingly, as other .xpi's (such as de-DE) don't seem to have that problem. A more robust approach with permissions checking etc. in the installation script as suggested above would of course be even better.

Hope I solved someone else's problem too...

Your dictionary doesn't work with FireFox 1.04 on Fedora Core 3. It pretends to install, then says it installed correctly. After you click OK, the extention vanishes. Ive been trying off and on for a year to get SpellBound installed on FireFox, but it's no good due to the inability to install this dictionary. I've confirmed this also doesn't install on another FC3 box too.

Now let me cut and paste this text into gedit, spell check it and paste it back here...

OK, this is not funny at all :(
If you can't install in Firefox for Fedora 4 (1-3 should be the same) just do the following from command line:
su root
find / -name firefox
When it finds go to the most recent version of firefox such as: /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.6/components/ check if thereis myspell directory
If it is skip this command: mkdir myspell

Go to download your language.xpi files (right click save) and then right click file and choose extract.

Go to myspell directory and issue command:

cp /extractedxpilanguagefilesdirectory/* .

Repeat for any language file you need. Go to Firefox and check Tools>Extensions>Spellbound>Properties it should show language files there.

You have to do the same thing every time you update Firefox!

The installer says v0.1 has been installed successfully but if I go into the spell checker and select the Languages tab I still only see the English / United States dictionary.
Marcello Vena says: 've temporarily added the write permission (for not-root users) to the myspell sub-directory and the dictionaries have been correctly installed therein.

How is this done so that the dictionary may work? My OS is XPsp2 and browser is firefox, email handler is thunderbird . . .it sure would be nice to have the dictionary working.

It seems that under linux the en-GB language pack sets the wrong permissions to the extracted file has after installing the package as root the files are uid/gid root/root with permissions 600 which makes them unreadable to any other users.

BTW is it normal that the language packages have to be installed as root. If you try to install them as a standard user, the install claims every thing worked fine but the packs are in fact not installed. I don't know if there is a way of having user specific language installed or not but if not it should say that the installed failed and why when trying to install the pack as a user.

works fine when every thing is set properly though, very nice work!

Peter, you must click on the link. *.xpi files are extensions. When you click on them, they're installing.

(If you want a german explanation:
*.xpi Dateien sind Erweiterungen. Du musst sie nur anklicken, dann werden sie automatisch installiert.)

It could be nice to have a spell check in Finnish too.
If there's something I could do for it, just let me know.

A problem with the italian dictionary (spell-it.xpi) under linux (and maybe under unices).

The rights off .dic .aff and README files are incorrect sor it is installed with mode 600 making it unreadable by others than the installer.

Rights changed to 666 before reziping the xpi file makes install correct (644 mode).

I just can't get this to work with Mac OS X and FF 1.5. The dictionary files don't get copied anywhere. I can't even find the myspell folder. Where is it supposed to go? and can i copy the files there manually.

i am SO closer to being able to give up Safari...

i was so happy earlier today until someone pointed out that firefox had no built-in spell check...

WinXP Pro and FireFox 1.0.7. I installed the extension and a dictionary. When I start the spellchecker I get this error, "Typeerror: dictlist[0]has no properties". I am guessing that this means there is no dictionary?

Any suggestions

I have tried installing all the dictonaries for English US (Download Failed Status 2147942487), English Uk, English Canada, English Australia,. But none of them are getting installed. This inspite of the fact that I had enable the nightly tester which installs the extension irrespective of the Firefox Version. I kindly request you to please help me and others like me who are facing the problems like me

Hello everybody, I love Spellbound - thank you Robert Strong. I am a medical doctor - I have a flat ascii file with approximately 10,000+ medical words and am trying to figure out how I can get Spellbound to use them. I tried renaming the ascii file as persdict.dat (the file that is created automaticall by Moz under Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/xxxxxx.default/). Any suggestions? Also, I want to install the Mozilla spellchecker on a network drive - is there anyway to customize the installation directory? THanks for your help.

I see I'm not alone in being unable -- despite *repeated* tries over several years and various ways and means -- to load any English dictionary that is not US. Or ... it seems to install but there is only the US dictionary in the drop down list. Again and again and again. I see the first note here is about this problem and it's dated 2004. Will there ever be a fix? I've never had any trouble with any other TBird add-on, or install .... many thanks, Susan
