Spell checker, xml:lang and ISO 639-2 alpha-3 codes

Does oXygen's spell checker and "follow xml:lang" feature support ISO 639-2 three-letter language codes? My current 10.1 instance seems to look for two-letter codes, and I can't find anything in the options to make it look for three-letter codes instead.

Thank you,

Markus Flatscher

Hello,

It does not matter how many letters you have in the xml:lang attribute if you have a spell checking dictionary for that language code. The built-in dictionaries of Oxygen are the ones for the languages that you can see in the combo box Default language and that have the codes: en-us, en-gb, en-ca, fr, fr-ca, fr-be, etc. If you add your own dictionary (see the end of the User Manual section) for a three letters language code it will be available in Oxygen for spell checking.


Regards,
