Use a spell checker dictionaries (other dictionaries)

Hi Ivan and welcome to Heroes!

When using a custom dictionary, you'll need to use the .dic file type and there are additional directions in this tutorial on how to use custom dictionaries. 

Achley, where can i find russian dictionary with .dic-extension? I think developers should think about adding russian language into Articulate products. As for me it's very inconvenient to work in russian as i can't see mistakes in Russian spelling.

Hi Mikhail and welcome to Heroes!

I certainly understand the frustration of not having the Russian language built in, and if you'd like to see it included as a built in option I'd suggest sharing your thoughts here in the form of a feature request.

As for where to find a custom dictionary that you could add, I'll defer to the community on what they've used and prefer.

good afternoon
Tell me where to take Russian dictionary for the spelling checker.

Hi Alex,

You may want to look at the options here in regards to adding a dictionary to see if that works for you and you could then refer to the Russian dictionary as you work through the course. 

No Russian dictionary

:-(

Hi Alex,

If the dictionary for a particular language is not available within the Storyline interface, you'll want to look at creating a custom dictionary and adding it follow the steps in that article linked above. You would need to either create or find a Russian dictionary that works for what you need. 

Hello  Ashley.

Dictionaries are used articulate have a special format and are located in a special folder LES
see screenshot
articulate Language Dictionary has three file
* .tlx
* .utlx
*.clx

plug-Russian dictionaries are not perceived by the system because it does not fit.

to work with articulate need a special dictionary

:-(

Hi Alex,

It would need to be a .dic file  and you could upload it as described here: 

If you click Custom Dictionaries on the Spelling Options window (see above), the following window appears.

• Create a new dictionary: Click New. Type a name for your new dictionary in theFile name field, then click Save. The new dictionary will appear in your dictionary list, and you can add words to it as needed.
• Add a dictionary that already exists on your computer: This option is for cases in which you've obtained a .dic file from someone else. Click Add, browse to the .dic file, and click Open. The dictionary will appear in your dictionary list, and you can modify it as needed.

I added Russian Dictionary
installed by default
The screenshot shows that the phrase napisno in three languages
English
Spanish
Russian
still checks the spelling in the language - which ustanvlen as the main dictionary (Spanish -default)

Hi Alex,

I'm not sure which word I'm supposed to be looking at in the add_dic_3.jpg image - but if you've added the dictionary and are still unable to utilize it for spell checking I'd like to have you share these files with our Support engineers so that we could take a better look. 

Ashley, does the company have plans for the introduction of Russian as one of the built-in? Unfortunately installing Russian dictionary (tried several versions russian dic files)  does not pass. Maybe there are restrictions on the dic file size? 

Hi Ivan, 

I don't have information to share in terms of a road map or product plans, but it is something you're welcome to share with our Product team. I haven't heard of folks having difficulty adding the dictionary though - did you also test to see if it appeared in Word or Powerpoint? Also, Russian is a language as a part of the player text labels, so I'd expect it to work within the dictionary if added in correctly. 

Hi Ashley.
Text labels in Russian work well.
Problem because there are no Russian dictionary that checks grammar of the text on the slide.

Hi Alex, 

It's not built in, but others have added in a Russian dictionary before - and I didn't see any additional response from Ivan in regards to how it wasn't working for him.  Did you try installing a dictionary as the top of this discussion walks through? What occurred when you did that? Are you able to share these files with our Support Engineers? 

I have a problem. No grammar checker Russian words.
I need help with your service engineers.

Ashley, i have already send a mesage to support engineers (17 oct 2016) and now i am waiting for a answer. Russian dic files from MS Office  does not pass. I applyied for some instructions for custom dictionary installing to make russian spell checking are availiable.

Thanks Ivan - I was able to fit it, and it seems that it went through as a feature request vs. a support case so I found it and was able to send along to my team. They'll likely want to take a look at the dictionary in question that you're using and so they'll be able to provide directions on how to upload that.

Collegues, is the probrem solved? still Russian dictionary doesnt present in Storyline.
