Is there anyway to configure the spell-checker to default to UK-English rather than US_English?

Hello Donna,

To enable the AjaxSpellCheck tool, you need to modify the ToolsFile.xml which is located in the following folder:
/Program Files/Common Files/Microsoft Shared/web server extensions/wpresources/RadEditorSharePoint/4.5.4.0__1f131a624888eeed/RadControls/Editor/
and add the following tool:
<tool name="AjaxSpellCheck"/> 

To enable the AjaxSpellCheck tool in List (Wiki) scenario, open the ListToolsFile.xml file and add the following tag:
<tool name="AjaxSpellCheck"/> 


In order to specify which language you want to use you need to add the following line to the respective Tools file.
For example:
<languages> 
    <language code="de-DE" title="German"></language>        
</languages> 

for German.

I hope this helps.

Thanks, 2 further questions

1) when adding the <languages> node is it a child of the AjaxSpellCheck <tool> node or at the same level
ie is it
a) <tool name="AjaxSpellCheck">
        <languages>
            <language code="de-DE" title="German"></language>
        </languages>
    </tool>

or b)
<tool name="AjaxSpellCheck"/>
<languages>
    <language code="de-DE" title="German"></language>
</languages>

2) I've seen under the Spell/TDF directory there are dictionaries for de-DE, en-US, fr-FR which all suggests to me I only have the capabilities of setting the spell checker to check against German, French or US english dictionaries and so if I change the toolsfile.xml as described above to en-UK it won't work... Is there any way I can add/ you can provide an en-UK dictionary...?

Hello Donna,

1. You should add the following code as child of the <root> element.
 <languages>
     <language code="de-DE" title="German"></language>
 </languages>

2. You can find information on how to create new dictionaries in the following help article http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/editor-create-new-dictionary.html

I hope this helps.
