LyX wiki | Windows / Spell Checker Dictionaries

<< LyX136 | Page list | LyXWinInstaller >>

These spell checker dictionaries can be used with LyX 1.3.7 and later.

If you are unable to download the files, you can try one of the following mirrors:

Laboratoire d'Informatique de Paris 6 (France)
Vienna University of Technology (Austria), updated daily. (http mirror)
National Technical University of Athens (Greece)
Interdisciplinary Center for Mathematical and Computational Modelling, Warsaw University (Poland)
Helvetic Association for Open Source Developpement
Cybermirror.org (Karlsruhe, Germany)

To change the language used by the spell checker for new documents, the default language for LyX must be changed. This can be achieved by going to Tools -> Preferences -> Language Settings -> Language -> Default Language. Choose the language you wish to use from the drop down list.

If you are opening an old document it may have a different language or dialect specified. In this case you will have to change the documents settings. Go to Document -> Settings -> Language -> Language and from the drop down list change the language/dialect to the one you wish to use. The spellchecker will use a dictionary list most similar to this language/dialect.
