[Spell checking] How to ignore CJK Characters?

[Radu]

Hi,

Our automatic spell checker looks for xml:lang attributes on DITA elements to see in what language it should check. The default language is English but if you set the language code for the Chinese and Korean paragraphs like this:

Code: Select all

<p xml:lang="zh-CN">Chinese text here</p>

Oxygen's spell checker will skip those elements because it does not have a default Chinese spell checker installed.
You can install extra dictionaries in our spell checker based on the Open Office set of dictionaries:

but unfortunately there does not seem to be available dictionaries for Chinese or Korean.

Regards,
Radu

Hi,

I had no idea MS Word somehow skips over Chinese (and probably also other more complex) characters when spell checking. In a way this makes sense, I added an internal issue to consider doing the same. From what I tested the spell checker in a web browser's text area seems to do the same. If we manage to add this improvement in a future Oxygen version we'll update this form thread.
If you have any other suggestions for us related to using Chinese content with Oxygen XML Editor please do not hesitate to tell us.

Radu
