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.
Greetings Andre! It sounds like you already have a compatible Brazilian-Portugese .DIC dictionary file, so you'll just need to add it via the Articulate icon -> Engage Options -> Spelling Options -> Custom Dictionaries -> Add.
Thanks for the reply. I already did this, but it does not show on the drop down, neither seams to be working, i.e., correcting portuguese misspelling words. Any suggestion? THANKS!!!
Okay, but how do I get the Portugueses .dic file in the first place? I'm using Office 2010 and Vista; in Word I can find this language as an option, but when in Quizmaker I can't 'browse' to find where this .dic file is housed. Any help?
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.

Hi Oscar & welcome to Heroes,
Engage and Quizmaker already contain Spanish dictionaries. For more information, see the "Quizmaker Options" or "Engage Options" window:
