unable to add custom dictionaries for spelling & hypenation (e.g. nl_NL )

[digi-city]

Hi,

I'm trying to add additional language directories to affinity publisher v2 and used the procedure  described at  

 

 

I've downloaded the addtional files and copied them to a subfolder nl_NL in C:\ProgramData\Affinity\Common\2.0\Dictionaries

Is this proceddure still valid for v2 ? Any other changes I have to make ?

The dutch languiage doen't show up in the available languages

Yes, it should work.

Note: I recommend downloading from the links in the second post in that V1 FAQ, rather than going to GitHub yourself and trying to download. If you do go to GitHub directly, please be sure to follow the directions in the first post exactly to ensure you get usable files, rather than files with HTML code in them. Using the links in the second post in the FAQ avoids that problem.

Hi,

 

I've downloaded the files again from the location you mentionned, restarted affinity but there is no hypenation at all. Maybe because I'm living in Belgium and or locale is not nl_NL but nl_BE ?

Yes, if your language is nl_BE then you will need to use different file and directory names.
