Hello

Dos SWP6 include a French Dictionary ? If not, when ? Is it possible to have both SWP5 and SWP6 and to spell check with SWP5 ?

Yes you can have both 5.5 and

Yes you can have both 5.5 and 6 on the same computer. They do not interact in any way. I use both. But your suggestion to spell check seems a little awkward

Yes there is one. Look under Edit, Check spelling. I wish for a swedish one which is lacking. Strange there is a hebrew one.

I'm attaching a Swedish

I'm attaching a Swedish spell-check dictionary. Both files in the zip file belong in the SWP/dictionaries folder on Windows (we do not supply spelling dictionaries for the Mac since we use the OS X dictionaries). I have also added the Swedish dictionaries to our standard build. Any other suggestions for which languages we should include by default will be considered.

Here are some dictionaries

Here are some dictionaries labeled sv_FI. I don't think they are truly Finnish dictionaries. A source for many of the dictionaries is

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/language-tools/

If you click on 'Install Dictionary', it will download a .xpi file. If you unzip this (yes, it is another zipfile going by another name), you should find a dictionaries folder which will contain the .aff and .dic files needed for each language. There doesn't appear to be such an option for Finnish.
