Editing with Spell Check as you type

When the Check spelling as you type option is selected, the document is spell checked as you translate, in the Editor window, of the Editor view. When you modify any text, the text is not spell checked again until you stop typing. Spelling errors are displayed as a red wavy line underneath the misspelled word. For example, the following is a misspelled word:

Before you begin

  • Create or add custom dictionaries.
  • Specify your spelling options.
  • Specify if you want to use the Hunspell or Microsoft Word spell checker.

Procedure

  1. Go to the Projects view and select the project you want to work on.
  2. Go to the Files view and double-click the file you want to work on.
  3. In the Editor, right-click the spelling error with the red wavy line.
  4. Select from the following options on the context menu:
    • A list of spelling suggestions.
    • Ignore All - Select this to add the word to the Ignore All word list for the spell checker you have selected. The Ignore All list is shared between all open documents in SDL Trados Studio.
    • Add to Dictionary - Select this to add the replacement term to the default custom dictionary for the spell checker that you have selected. If there is no default dictionary for that target language, this option is grayed out.
