I was made aware by a coworker that the UI language and the spellchecking language doesn’t go together as started previously. The only available spellchecking language in Sametime 7.5 is English. The dictionary for the spellchecking is located together with the IBM “langware”-plugin (see the “pluginscom.ibm.langware.v5.dic.en_US_5.3.1.9-20060714” directory) in the Sametime 7.5 install directory.
I wasn’t able to find any additional dictionaries but found a post in the Sametime forum on LDD requesting the same thing. I do not however think I would be well of by finding additional dictionaries since there is no way to specify the spellchecking language in the Sametime client UI.
I could be wrong, but I think this also has something to do with an outstanding featureset in the Eclipse framework — namely specifying and using different dictionaries.
I need to check the current release of Eclipse, but certainly previous versions had the spell-checking functionality greyed-out in preferences.
Just checked Eclipse 3.1 as well as Eclipse 3.2 and in both releases the “Platform dictionary” field on the GeneralEditorsText editorsSpelling” preference page is grayed out when you enabled spellchecking using the top checkbox. You have the option of specifying an “user defined dictionary” though the help doesn’t reveal anything further other than the fact that it is a standard extension point for Eclipse editor plugins. Interesting.
