Spell checking
SDL Passolo provides different options for checking (and correcting) the spelling in source string lists and translation lists.
- Strings can be checked automatically during entry (See Spell Checking During Entry).
- An interactive check function can be used to search string lists for spelling errors (see Spell checking a string list).
- Spell checking can be included as part of the standard check functions (see Spell checking as a test function).
The internal spell checking module can check the spelling in translation lists for 14 languages based internal algorithms. This module is available in all editions of Passolo. Basic dictionaries for the following languages are integrated: Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English (UK), English (USA), French, German, Italian, Polish, Spanish, Swedish, Slovenian. Additionally, custom dictionaries can be created for each language.
The external add-in uses Microsoft Word to check the spelling. It requires a licensed installation of Microsoft Word on the system. Microsoft Word version 2000 or later is supported. The required dictionaries for the languages to be checked must also be installed.
Further add-ins for other professional spell checking programs can be requested from PASS Engineering.
