Laura Ess Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 I've searched for solutions to this on the forums, but any results found don't seem to apply to my case. I keep getting an :Unsupported Languages" error message when I attempt to spell check in Photo (though the same result appears in Designer and Publisher). I'm in Australia and the Language on my PC is set to English Australian. I have a screenshot of this error message, including sample text, and settings in the Character/Language panel. A second screenshot shows my Dictionaries directory. The files were downloaded from the Libre Office Repository as suggested by How do I add additional Dictionaries to Affinity Publisher? post. In fact when I first checked that Directory there were NO dictionary files in it, despite a claim that US and UK dictionaries are installed by standard! This was odd as I recall when I first installed Affinity Photo that I tested the Spell checking and it worked. I haven't deleted or reinstalled any of the programs, though I have updated them to the current versions. So, I have an Australian English dictionary in the right directory and it's not being recognised. I noticed that the setting under tools indicates that a restart is required. I had assumed that this was exiting and restarting the application but that seems to have no effect. Should I restart my PC as well? I need some help on this, thanks.

Staff NathanC Posted May 6, 2022 Staff Share Posted May 6, 2022 Hi @Laura Ess, In your screenshot it shows the en_Au.dic and .aff files just in the root 'Dictionaries' folder when they should be in their own folder. Have you tried creating an 'en_AU' folder within the C:\ProgramData\Affinity\Common\1.0\Dictionaries directory, moving the two files into this folder, restarting and then trying again?

Laura Ess Posted May 6, 2022 Author Share Posted May 6, 2022 So that would be C:\ProgramData\Affinity\Common\1.0\Dictionaries\en_Au then? I must have missed that on the other posts I came across. It worked!!!! Thanks so much. 😀 NathanC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
