How to add additional "Dictionaries" for Publisher V2?

[Traged]

Hi, i need to add "cs-CZ" (Czech) dictionary for correct hyphenation rules in Publisher V2. But it's not possible, because, "WindowsApps" folders can't be modified. So... how can i add new dictionary?

Thanks for help.

Já mám cestu ke slovníku nastavenu po instalaci do ProgramData, kde byly i slovníky pro V1.

Stáhnout jdou tady. Vlož je do cesty ukázané výše do podadresáře cs-CZ / You can add other languages to the path above. The download link is as follows.

Thankyou for that info, because the other languages aren´t considered important by Serif, lol. I just need to install the hyphenation dictionaries  for spanish language.

C:\ProgramData\Affinity\Common\2.0\Dictionaries

that works.

Je to zvláštní, ale soubory stažené z GitHubu, nevím proč, nefungují. Mohu je zvolit, ale nemají žádnou účinnost (nefunguje dělení ani opravy). Stáhl jsem jiný slovník z dalšího zdroje a přestože má pouze 20kB (oproti 985 kB z GitHubu), tak funguje. Každopádně už to snad chodí

Díky všem za pomoc / Thanks all for help.

 

EDIT: Moje chyba! Špatně stažený soubor.

It is very easy to download the files from GitHub in the wrong format, ending up with HTML code rather than plain text.

It is better to use the V1 FAQ on adding dictionaries, and see the second post in that FAQ which has them available for download in the proper format. This avoids the games that GitHub makes you play.

@walt.farrellWalt, I followed the download directions you linked to and placed the three Dutch dictionary files into  C:\ProgramData\Affinity\Common\2.0\Dictionaries. However, after a restart, there's no option to change the document language. In the Publisher 2 help file, it still lists directions for version 1.

C:\ProgramData\Affinity\Common\2.0\Dictionaries\en-NL subdirectory?

That solved it Pšenda, thanks so much!

You can also download dictionaries from:

https://www.softmaker.com/en/dictionaries

just change ".sox" extension to ".zip" and unpack it.

Stupid question, probably, but I don't see dictionaries in my Preferences/ Tools??
