Create a Custom Dictionary

SDL Trados Studio contains dictionaries for a number of languages. You can also create additional, custom dictionaries for the Hunspell spell checker in Studio. However, if you want to modify a custom dictionary for the Microsoft Word spell checker, you must do so in Microsoft Word.

Procedure

  1. Select File > Options from the Ribbon. The Options dialog box is displayed.
  2. Select Editor > Spelling from the navigation tree. The Spelling settings are displayed on the right.
  3. Click Custom Dictionaries to display the Custom Dictionaries dialog box.
  4. Click New to display the Create Custom Dictionary dialog box.
  5. Enter the name of the new dictionary in the File name box and click Open.

    When you create a dictionary, the dictionary is valid for All Languages. You can modify the dictionary so that it is valid for just one language. See How to Modify a Custom Dictionary for more information about modifying a dictionary.
