# Spell checking

Spell checking in IniTranslator is handled by the excellent Delphi spell checker component from Addictive Software (http://www.addictivesoftware.com). To spell check a translation file (only translation files are spell checked since the original file is read-only in IniTranslator), select the "Action-Spelling" menu item (or press F7). The spell check dialog wil be displayed, already containing the first word of the currently selected translation item:

The dialog contains the following commands:

Ignore
  Skip this word and go to the next word. If the current item doesn't contain any more items, the selection is moved to the next item in the list
Ignore All
  Same as Ignore but does not ask about this word again
Change
  Change the word in "Not found" to the word in "Replace With". You can double-click an item in the "Suggestions" list to use as the replacement word or type in a word directly in "Replace With"
Change All
  Same as Change but the next time the same misspelled word is encountered, it is automatically translated without prompting
Add
  Adds the word in "Not found" to the personal dictionary
Cancel
  Closes the spell checking dialog
Options
  Displays the options dialog:

The options dialog contains settings to control how spell checking is performed and what dictionaries should be used. Click the "Dictionaries" button to view and edit your custom dictionaries. Click "Reset Defaults" to reset all settings to the defaults as they were at first startup. Option settings are stored on a per-user basis.

Note:
To be able to spell check, you will need to install at least one dictionary for the language of the translation file you are working on. You can get free dictionaries from the Addict homepage at http://www.addictivesoftware.com/dicts.htm.
Save the dictionaries in the \dictionaries subfolder of the IniTranslator install folder to make them available in the spell checker.
