Hello @Monika Dul,

welcome to the forum.

You can find a guide on how to add your own dictionaries over here:

I hope this works for you.

Okay, I tried to follow the procedure, but all ik get when downloading the Dutch dictionary, is a 1kb file Dictionary_nl.mk. It is realy frustrating that Affinity does nog provide the proper link or way to add a dictionary. I searched the forum, and get even different answers on where to place the dictionary. Is there someone who can tell step by step how to add the dictionary to publisher. I only get very nerveus from the flickering explanation above which is changing way to fast.

Thanks in advance!

Gerry

You can download the dictionary from here:

In case you're using Windows, place the dictionary here: C:\ProgramData\Affinity\Common\1.0\Dictionaries.

Since the ProgramData folder is by default invisible, make sure that Windows' hidden files and folders are visible (Open File Explorer from the taskbar. Select View > Options > Change folder and search options. Select the View tab and, in Advanced settings, select Show hidden files, folders, and drives and OK.)

Once you're done, restart the app.

Or click the Open button in the Affinity Preferences :)

Walt, does that also work when system folders and files are set to 'hidden'?

It should, yes. I haven't tested recently, though, and I don't plan to try it now.
