A solution for implementing the Polish dictionary


Recommended Posts

Hi Joachim,

The folder structure (C:\ProgramData\Affinity\Common\1.0\Dictionaries\da_DK\da_DK) is indeed what I tried earlier today before Walt suggested using the one shown in the video above here (C:\ProgramData\Affinity\Common\1.0\Dictionaries\da_DK\da_DK). It didn't work for me

The Additional dictionary folder path should read "C:\ProgramData\Affinity\Common\1.0\Dictionaries" and not "C:\ProgramData\Affinity\Common\1.0\Dictionaries\da_DK".

Is this path correct in Windows Finder (see image)?

Yes, but only if the Preference is set as Joachim_L and I have indicated: "C:\ProgramData\Affinity\Common\1.0\Dictionaries"

Wow!!!

Having been focused on the Windows Finder path, I took for granted that I simply would have to point to that from within Publisher's preferences/ tools. And when you, Joachim, mentioned "The Additional dictionary folder" I simply took it as designating a folder within Windows Finder (and not that specific place within the Publisher's preferences/ tools).

I have corrected it. The preferences/ tool now poin to C:\ProgramData\Affinity\Common\1.0\Dictionaries.

And it works!

Thanks so much to Walt and Joachim!

Henrik

Exactly - Publisher will look for dictionary subfolders like "da_DK" INSIDE that folder - it is a root folder for dictionary subfolders.

So with that path configured Publisher will look for subfolders like C:\ProgramData\Affinity\Common\1.0\Dictionaries\da_DK\da_DK as you found out now.

Serif you should rename the label "Additional dictionaries folder", I think.
