LaraJ Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Hi, This is probably a silly question but I'm getting all these 'Missing dictionary for language (en-ES)' warnings in Preflight. They are probably harmless, but my Preflight is flooded with them to the point that I cannot find the few other warnings and errors that are sprinkled among them. How can I make these 'Missing dictionary for language (en-ES)' warnings go away? Thanks! The Dragons Father 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff stokerg Posted February 1, 2021 Staff Share Posted February 1, 2021 Hi @LaraJ, Somewhere you will have text that has (en-ES) set as the Language on the Character Panel. You should be able to use Find and Replace to find and change this. If you click Text>Find and on the window that pops up, click on the Cog icon and select Format and on the next screen select Character>Language and then select (En-ES) from the list and click okay. Do the same for the Replace with box but this time select the main language of your document and click on Find, followed by Replace All. You could also edit the text styles you've used and make use the Language is set to that of your main document. There might even be another method that i'm missing but i'm sure someone will post it if i have Fcunhaster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rui_mac Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I have the same problem. My text is REALLY in portuguese and I get all these "Missing dictionary" errors. What do they mean? Is there really a dictionary missing? The text boxes are set to the Portuguese Language and I have no red underlined text. However, the Profiler still states that Portuguese dictionaries are missing.

Can you put the text cursor in a word in one of the text frames, and give us a screenshot showing us the Language section of the Character studio panel?

rui_mac Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Here are the captures of a snippet of a text box (with Portuguese text), a capture of the Character Language options and a capture of the Profiler errors. It has lots of these "Missing dictionary" errors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 The error messages indicate that you have some text with the language set to "English as spoken in Portugal". There's no dictionary for that. You need to find all that text and change it to Portuguese. If you double-click on the error message it should take you to the text with the problem. There are several ways you could fix that. The easiest, I think, if all your text is using text styles, is to change the text style definitions to specify the right language.

That was it. Now it only reports spelling mistakes, because I had to include some english words in my Portuguese text walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PracowniaBuszu Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Hi, it seems I have similar problem. I probably click on something and now I cannot write in my linguage. What could have gone wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What could have gone wrong? I'm not sure what the circled items in the screenshot represent. For the Preflight warning messages, put the cursor in one of the words and then look in the Character panel. In the Language settings, what do you see for Spelling? You say "and now" you cannot write in your language. What has changed since you could? have you switched machines? Have you changed from V1 to V2? Something else?

BunnyViking Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 I have this issue as well, apparently australian english is an unknown language. Also if i switch to british, it still tells me im spelling words wrong even though australian and british english are the same thing. Is there a way to set the default language so it doesn't set my language to en-au every time i start a document ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomaso Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 7 hours ago, BunnyViking said: Is there a way to set the default language so it doesn't set my language to en-au every time i start a document ? My workaround in V1 was to adjust the "Defaults" accordingly to get rid of an erroneously missing language (like "de-en"): 1. Create a text frame and set its spelling language as wanted. 2. Go to menu File > Defaults 3. Select first the Synchronize then the Save option. 4. Relaunch the app. Now with no document opened (greyed-out UI) it looks like this to me, and every new frame gets created with my set German language.

If the preceding discussion hasn't helped, we'll need more details of exactly what you're seeing, what OS you're using, what your system Language and keyboard settings are, and how you're creating the documents that have the problem.

Where are your dictionaries stored? Unless you've changed the default location in settings, your files should be: C:\ProgramData\Affinity\Common\2.0\Dictionaries\he_IL\he_IL.aff C:\ProgramData\Affinity\Common\2.0\Dictionaries\he_IL\he_IL.dic You must restart Affinity after installing dictionaries.

walt.farrell Posted November 30 Share Posted November 30 11 hours ago, tzvi20 said: I downloaded the dictionary from GitHub My first guess would be that you downloaded them incorrectly, as it's very tricky to download them from GitHub properly. That's why Serif provides a set of them in the second post in the FAQ, which will download correctly. If you open each of the files you downloaded in a plain text editor, do you see something that looks like it should, or do you see HTML text? If it's HTML text, you need to download again.
