Languages and spelling
English spelling and grammar work as soon as you install WordCraft. For other languages, install a Language pack: a language’s spelling dictionary and hyphenation rules, installed together.
There are Language packs for 75 languages, including Dutch, German, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Hungarian, Estonian, Croatian, Persian and Esperanto.
Install a language
Section titled “Install a language”- From the document: when your document has text in a language that isn’t installed, a bar under the ribbon says so, for example Dutch proofing isn’t installed. Click Install. The button shows the download size.
- From Options: choose File › Options › Language. Your languages lists English, the languages in your document and the packs you’ve installed. Click Install next to a language, or Add a language… to search for another one by name or code (for example dutch, nederlands or nl).
The language is checked as soon as the pack is installed, with no restart.
WordCraft doesn’t download anything until you click Install, Add a language… or Refresh. Each pack is checked against a known checksum before it’s used.
Packs are shared with the other Craft apps, so you only install a language once.
Remove a language, or make it the default
Section titled “Remove a language, or make it the default”In File › Options › Language › Your languages, click Remove next to a pack to uninstall it. Click Set as default to make it the language of new blank documents.
Mark text as another language
Section titled “Mark text as another language”WordCraft checks each piece of text in its own language. Select the text, then choose Review › Language. The status bar shows the language at the cursor.
If it shows (no dictionary), that language isn’t installed yet. If it shows (dictionary unreadable), WordCraft found a dictionary but couldn’t use it; point at it to see why.
Use your own dictionary
Section titled “Use your own dictionary”You can use any standard Hunspell dictionary (an .aff and a .dic file), such as one from LibreOffice. Put both files in the Dictionaries folder shown in File › Options › Language, then restart WordCraft. Your own dictionary is used before an installed pack.
Change the interface language
Section titled “Change the interface language”WordCraft’s menus and buttons come in 27 languages. By default it follows your system’s language. To choose another, go to File › Options › Language.
In the web version
Section titled “In the web version”The web version checks English only. It has no Language packs.
