How to implement native Danish spell-checking in Mac OS X Unfortunately that is not something the average person knows how to do, and it’s relatively complicated. If you understand Danish, you can also get help from Æbletræet and this detailed guide (ZIP file) made by a Macnyt user. The current solution is to install cocoAspell, a Mac OS X wrapper for the Aspell open source spell checker, and download the Danish dictionary. I know from experience that this is a major issue with Danish Mac users, the question surfaces again and again.
This excludes Microsoft Office:mac and most open source software like Open Office and NeoOffice, that has their own spell checkers, but it hits all system applications as well as Apple’s own iLife, IWork and most other 3rd party applications.
Unfortunately there’s no support for the Danish language, and this omission hits all Mac OS X applications that plug into Mac OS X for their spell checking services. NOTE to Danish Mac users: What follows will not give you native (Danish) spell-checking in Mac OS X, but it describes what I believe would be required, by Apple, to implement it.Īpple’s Mac OS X comes with a very nice, integrated spell-checking service. Apple you’re more than welcome to steal it, and I’ll even post bail -). A discussion on the Danish Macintosh community, Macnyt, about the missing native Danish spell-checking in Mac OS X, let me to speculate on what it would take to implement it.
