how to set radeditor's language

[Chris]

Hi,

I need to set the language of the spellchecker to Dutch and so far I'm unsuccessful.

I've downloaded a file with translations (nl-NL.tdf) from http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/aspnet-ajax/spell/147971-radspell-dictionaries.aspx
I tried to follow the way they described it here: http://blogs.telerik.com/blogs/posts/10-04-30/localizing_the_radeditor.aspx:

• I've planted it into the project's ~/App_Data/RadSpell/ directory.
• I've added this in the web.config:
  

  		<httpHandlers>
  			<add path="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource.axd" type="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource" verb="*" validate="false"/>
  			<add path="Telerik.Web.UI.SpellCheckHandler.axd" type="Telerik.Web.UI.SpellCheckHandler" verb="*" validate="false" />
  		</httpHandlers>

  
  and another one into <system.webServer>:

		<handlers>
			<add name="Telerik_Web_UI_WebResource_axd" verb="*" preCondition="integratedMode" path="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource.axd" type="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource"/>
			<add name="Telerik.Web.UI.SpellCheckHandler" path="Telerik.Web.UI.SpellCheckHandler.axd" type="Telerik.Web.UI.SpellCheckHandler" verb="*" />
		</handlers>

• my radEditor looks like this:
  

  <telerik:RadEditor ID="reEditor" runat="server" SkinID="DefaultSetOfTools" Height="400px" Width="100%" ContentAreaCssFile="~/App_Themes/_generic/RadEditorContent.css">
  	<Languages>
  		<telerik:SpellCheckerLanguage Code="nl-NL" Title="nl-NL" />
  	</Languages>
  	<Content></Content>
  </telerik:RadEditor>

Still nothing. Could you tell me what am I missing?

Hello Chris,

This is how I enabled RadSpell with language set to Dutch. I added RadEditor to my project, put the translations file (nl-NL.tdf) in the appropriate folder(~/App_Data/RadSpell/), then I enabled RadSpell from RadEditor's Smart Tag (Enable spell check for RadEditor option). After this is set, I added SpellCheckSettings tag inside RadEditor, where is specified the resource file for spell check. On your page it will look like this:

<telerik:RadEditor ID="RadEditor1" runat="server">
        <SpellCheckSettings DictionaryLanguage="nl-NL" />
</telerik:RadEditor>

Furthermore, if you want to set multiple languages for spell checking, you should use Languages Collection as in the next example:

<telerik:RadEditor ID="RadEditor1" runat="server">

    <Languages>

        <telerik:SpellCheckerLanguage Code="fr-FR" Title="French" />
           <telerik:SpellCheckerLanguage Code="nl-NL" Title="Dutch" />


    </Languages>

</telerik:RadEditor>

Here you can find article on the matter, to help you better understand what you need to do.

If you want to localize the RadEditor, you should supply localization resource files to ~/App_GlobalResources folder. Follow the link below to find list with available resource files:
http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/aspnet-ajax/editor/radeditor-for-asp-net-ajax-localizations.aspx

Next, to choose language for RadEditor, set it in the Language property of the Control.

<telerik:RadEditor ID="RadEditor1" runat="server" Language="nl-NL">
        <SpellCheckSettings DictionaryLanguage="nl-NL" />
</telerik:RadEditor>

In this article you will find additional information on Global Resource Files.

I have attached a fully working sample project to give you better understanding of the solution.

Best wishes,
Slav
