RadSpellChecker multi language

[HDC]

There are plenty of demos how to set a different language for a spell checker using ControlSpellCheckersManager.

But i do not see a way to do this with the RadSpellChecker class

RadSpellChecker.WindowSettings.Theme = StyleManager.ApplicationTheme;
RadSpellChecker.WindowSettings.StartupLocation = Telerik.Windows.Controls.WindowStartupLocation.CenterOwner;
RadSpellChecker.Check(txt, SpellCheckingMode.AllAtOnce);

How do define in the above code that a different dictionary must be used? It doesn't seem to be possible.

Also... what are the resource keys for the buttons on this window so i can translate the window to dutch?

Best Regards,

Peter

Hi Peter,

As you can see here RadSpellChecker internally uses ConstrolSpellCheckersManager. As described in this help article you can get a ControlSpellChecker for a control, say a TextBox, and set its spellchecking culture to whatever you want (first you need to add a dictionary for that culture to the ControlsSpellChecker). That way the preferred culture will be used when spellchecking.

NOTE: The SpellCheckAllAtOnce dialog always uses RadRichTextBoxControlsSpellchecker no matter what control you are spellchecking.

The localization strings for SpellCheckAllAtOnceWindow are as follow:

Documents_SpellCheckingDialog_Header 

Documents_SpellCheckingDialog_NotInDictionary 

Documents_SpellCheckingDialog_IgnoreAll 

Documents_SpellCheckingDialog_AddToDictionary 

Documents_SpellCheckingDialog_ChangeTo 

Documents_SpellCheckingDialog_Change 

Documents_SpellCheckingDialog_Suggestions 

Documents_SpellCheckingDialog_EditCustomDictionary 

Ok 

Cancel

Hi Andrew,

I can't seem to be able to put two and two together here. I just don't see the connection between ConstrolSpellCheckersManager and RadSpellChecker.

I know how to set ConstrolSpellCheckersManager to a diferent dictionary, but RadSpellChecker will still use the default dictionary.

Can you give me some sample code of how i would go about setting dutch as a dictionary for RadSpellChecker so i can use that on a plain textbox.

Best Regards,

Peter

Hello Peter,

I have created a sample project that illustrates the approach described in the previous post. It adds the nl-NL dictionary manually to the appropriate SpellChecker. Please revise the attached solution.

There is another approach, too - you can create different assemblies for different  languages you want to support (as the one included in our Control Suite).Then all dictionaries are loaded through MEF. The second project attached illustrates this approach.

I hope this helps.

All the best,

Hi Andrew,

Sorry to bother you again about this, but you seem to have forgotten the key for the message that pops up when spelling is complete. I got from another support ticket that it should be

Documents_SpellCheckingDialog_SpellingCheckIsComplete

But this key doesn't seem to work anymore. Has it been changed, if so, what are the new key(s)?

Btw... it may help if a localization page was added to the documentation of RadSpellChecker, because the keys for "Edit Custom
 Dictionary" dialog are also not mentioned.

Best Regards,

Peter

Hello Peter,

I am very sorry for missing those strings. Here they are:

SpellChecking completed alert dialog:

SpellChecker_SpellingCheckIsCompleteMessageHeader 

SpellChecker_SpellingCheckIsCompleteMessage 

 Edit Custom Dictionary dialog:

Documents_EditCustomDictionaryDialog_Header 

Documents_EditCustomDictionaryDialog_Word 

Documents_EditCustomDictionaryDialog_Dictionary 

Documents_EditCustomDictionaryDialog_Add 

Documents_EditCustomDictionaryDialog_Delete 

Documents_EditCustomDictionaryDialog_DeleteAll 

Close 

We will make sure to add this to the documentation of the control.

Please get back to us if you encounter any other problems. Greetings,

Hi Andrew,

That solves the problem, all buttons and screens are now localized.

Thanks for the assistance.

Hi Andrew,

I reviewed your examples and the silverlight application it's ok, but when I change the idiom for es-ES.tdf that corresponding to spanish, I have a error that say, Instance reference to object not established.

My question is, it's wrong the tdf file that I downloaded from telerik site? or how I resolve this problem?

<<I think that file is correct because found ok only when renamed and replaced the File to nl-NL <- same that example. But When I add to the project, this file es-ES.tdf the error appear. Exist any restriction with routes, namespaces, etc?>>

Please help.

Thanks

Hello jdpapiero,

Can you please make sure that the .tdf file in your project has its Build Action set to Resource?

I added a Spanish dictionary to one of Andrew's projects and it seems to work as expected on my end. You can find the project attached for reference.

I hope this solves the problem! Do not hesitate to get back to us if you have other comments or questions.

Kind regards,
