Japanese dictionary?

[Ken Platt]

I didn't see a post on this so I thought I'd ask. Any chance of a japanese spellcheck dictionary in the Telerik future?

Hi Ken,

So far no one has submitted such dictionary. You can create your own custom TDF dictionary by using the Dictionary Configurator tool, which you can download from the following code library project: Dictionary Configuration.

Here are the steps that you can take to produce a new TDF dictionary:

1. See whether the needed dictionary exists on the following site: Dictionaries or create a text file (with extension .tdf) following the "word-per-line" rule
2. Rename the .dic / .txt extension to .tdf
3. After that convert the file by using the Dictionary Configurator tool.
4. Place the new dictionary in the "\RadControls\Spell\TDF", test and verify that the spellchecker works properly with it.
5. If the dictionary language is incompatible with the phonetic spell check provider then set the spellchecker to use its EditDistanceProvider (SpellCheckProvider="EditDistanceProvider").

If you create Japanese dictionary for RadSpell and send it to us, we will gladly upload it on our site and reward you with 4000 telerik points.


Sincerely yours,

I am also in need of a Japanese spellcheck dictionary but the link to the "Dictionary Configurator" tool is not good.  Where can I get this tool?

Hi Ralph,

Here is the correct link: http://www.telerik.com/support/code-library/dictionary-configuration. I have also fixed the old post's links.

You may also find useful this code library entry that shows how to use an OpenOffice dictionary instead: http://www.telerik.com/support/code-library/using-openoffice-spell-provider-in-radspell.

In this thread you can find user submitted dictionaries that we have from our clients: http://www.telerik.com/forums/147971-radspell-dictionaries in case you need one of them.

I see I have placed my post in the "UI for ASP.NET Forum. I am using *.TDF files with a RadRichTextBox in our WPF application.  Can I still use your information to create a *.TDF file, or is there a more appropriate way to do so for RadRichTextBox in WPF application?

Hello Ralph,

The website project should work for you as well. In the end, the product is a standard TDF file, so it does not matter which tool created it. There is no special project built for WPF for the same purpose, I am afraid.
