Brazilian Portuguese dictionary

Aug 30, 2011

How do I add / create a Brazilian Portuguese dictionary for engage, and how do I add it to the main dictionary drop down. I have Office 2007 with Brazilian Portuguese language pack installed. PowerPoint picks it up, of course, but Articulate is not recognizing this language pack. Any advice is welcomed.

Hey Greg,

Looks like Cleo was able to point you in the right direction. His response, for future users with the same question:

"You may want to visit the link below. You should find a Portuguese (Brazillian) .dic file.

To add the .dic file in Quizmaker '09, please visit the link below.

Thanks!"

In the following forum post, Justin Wilcox provided instructions for adding a custom dictionary file (.dic) to Engage. Just recently we had to investigated this method further, and found this will not work as described. We apologize for any confusion. For more detail, please read below.

The additional Main Dictionary languages shown in Justin's Screenr is part of our Storyline product (not yet released). There's not an option in Engage to Add Main Dictionary languages.

It would appear, adding custom dictionaries does not work as expected when using the files downloaded from the following link. These files are not compatible or in the correct format to work with the Articulate Studio '09 applications.
