Please read the rest of the thread. Multi-Language checking was thoroughly discussed in previous posts.

But here's another overview:

Red Squigglies in Code View

KevinH already implemented 2 dictionary support, so now instead of only handling a single language, you can specify 2:

English + Spanish

That would take care of most misspellings (red squigglies).

(Vast majority of books only have 1/2 languages, 3+ is much more rare, especially with proper lang markup [which is extremely rare already].)

Spellcheck List Enhancement

Making (Tools > Spellcheck > Spellcheck) better in order to be able to handle language.

So let's say there's:

Code:
<p lang="en">I like tacos.</p>
<p lang="es">Me gustan los tacos.</p>
If you go into the Sigil's spellcheck list currently, you'll see:

Code:
Word  | Count
______|______
tacos | 2
Even though 1 "tacos" is English, and 1 "tacos" is Spanish.

What this would do is then more accurately report words, and use the dictionaries in order to check if words are spelled correctly.

(A correct word in Spanish may be completely wrong in English.)

Do you recall Post #31 (and my Post #32)?
