Spell checker finds no errors

[espenore]

Greetings,

I have not found this problem when I searched the forum, so I ask as a new topic: using the xml-editor 15.0, build 2013071613, Windows 7, I have installed what may or may not be a valid Hunspell dictionary. This dictionary and the aff-file I have given the code ddo_DDU.dic/ddo_DDO.aff and I believe they follow the Hunspell standard. In any case they don't give any error messages. But: here is the problem: whatever strange and non-existing words I introduce to my xml-file, no errors are found! I have selected the Hunspell spell checker, and when I place the marker at the top of my XML-file and select Check spelling from the Edit-menu I get the spell-checking window with the message: "No spelling errors were found". So does anyone have an idea what I should do to get the speller to find that there are errors when the xml-file contains non-existing words in any language?

Hello,

I'm not sure if it's a spelling error, but the files you mentioned have different names (note the last letter difference): ddo_DDU.dic/ddo_DDO.aff
They should be named the same, only the extensions should differ.
Please make sure you have followed the instructions from the user manual for installing the dictionary:
Adding a Dictionary and Term Lists for the Hunspell Checker

After restarting Oxygen, check in the spell checker settings (Options > Preferences, Editor / Spell Check) if the language appears in the 'Default language' list.
BTW, for what language is this?

Regards,
Adrian

Sorry about my typo in the message there is no difference in real life, only in this forum.

Yes, I am pretty sure that I have followed the instructions.

This is our special code for one version of Danish.

I have now done some more testing, and I find that if we do *not* use the option for following xml:lang-values but instead select a default language (where our DDO appears in the list with no problems), then the spell checking works. So the matter is now that we can get our work done, but I do not understand why the use of xml:lang does not seem to work with any language selection at all.

All the best,
Espen

Hi,

What values do you use for the xml:lang attributes?
I've tested with xml:lang="ddo-DDO" and xml:lang="ddo_DDO" and it seems to work fine. However with xml:lang="ddo", the spellchecker completely ignores it.

Thank you very much! For some silly reasons I thought that I should use "DDO" or "ddo" as xml:lang-attribute value. Now we can also look at the attribute-controlled way of doing it!
