  I am trying to create a Greek dictionary to use with the spell checker.  I have found some forum posts about using the Dictionary configuration tool to accomplish this.  The steps are:

   

  1. Download the  dictionary from the following site: Dictionaries.
  2. Rename the .dic extension to .tdf
  3. Delete the special characters on each line after the / symbol, so that the file should contains a single word per line.
  4. After that convert the file by using the Dictionary Configurator tool.
  5. Test the new dictionary and verify that the spellchecker worked properly with it
     

  However, after step 4 it just goes to a page that says, “The page cannot be found”.  Is there something I need to configure on this tool to get it working correctly or does someone have a Greek dictionary that I can use.

  Thanks.

  I'm not sure if this is the same tool but this code library submission has a "Dictionary Configuration" tool.

  Hi Schlurk,
  
  Thanks for your reply.  Yes this is the same tool that I have been using.  Every time I click the import button just after step 4 is get the error message that the page is not found.  I have tried this on XP, Vista, and windows 7.  I saw another posting where another user was having this problem, but no resolution for it was given.  Someone just gave him the dictionary that user was looking for.

  Hi ,
  
  I think the problem happens because the file you are trying to upload is too large. By default ASP.NET has a limit on the max uploaded file size. To change it, you need to modify the Web.config file in the Dictionary configurator tool project and add a <httpRuntime> element. Here is an example:
  
  

  <?xml version="1.0"?>

  <configuration>

      <appSettings/>

      <connectionStrings/>

      <system.web>

          <compilation debug="true">

              <assemblies>

                  <add assembly="System.Design, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B03F5F7F11D50A3A"/>

                  <add assembly="System.Windows.Forms, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B77A5C561934E089"/>

              </assemblies>

          </compilation>

          <authentication mode="Windows"/>

          <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="102400" executionTimeout="3600" />

      </system.web>

  </configuration>

  
  The maxRequestLength is set to support files up to 100 MB.
