Hello,
I am using Ubuntu 12.04 and OmegaT 2.3.0.
So far, I don't have any problems, I just can't activate the spell-checking.
Every time I click "Install" under "Options" and "Spell-checking", I get the following error:
java.net.UnknownHostExeption:ftp.services.openoffice.org
Can anybody tell me what it means?
Thanks a lot!

that the server is down. Try finding dictionaries somewhere else, say, at servers hosting spellcheck files for Mozilla products.

There is a list here:

However, the default server works fine here.
It might be a connectivity issue for Java software.
To check this, you would have to find another Java software that connects to the Internet.
As a workaround (for spell checking), you might simply use local dictionaries, which you can get either from LibreOffice/OpenOffice.org installations, or simply by downloading them manually from the URLs mentioned above.

I have several local dictionaries, and they all run well with other programs. But how can I use them with OmegaT? I choose the folder under "Options"; "Spellchecking" and press "OK", but the wrong words are still not marked.

What kind of dictionaries do you have? For OmegaT, you’ll need dictionaries in the Hunspell format. Also, you must make sure that the file names match your target locale. I. e., for DE_DE (German of Germany) the files must be de_DE.dic and de_DE.aff.

I use dictionaries in the Hunspell format, and the file names also match the target locale.
And it still doesn't work.
Any other suggestions? Is it possible to move the dictionaries to a folder in OmegaT by hand?

You can put dictionary files anywhere you want, as long as you give the location in Options > Spell Checking.

… you can obviously symlink the files to the desired location (ain’t Linux cute?).

TOPIC STARTER | Spell Checking works with Windows | Sep 5, 2013 |
I just installed OmegaT on a Windows-driven system, downloaded and selected the dictionaries and the words were marked. The only problem is that it marked ALL German words.
Then, I used the downloaded dictionaries on the Linux-driven system, and, as usual, it didn't work. Can anybody tell me why? Has anybody the same problem?
I really don't want to go back to Windows...

It works for plenty of Linux users.

Egmont,
since you have Linux, you should use system dictionaries. Go to synaptic/aptitude/software center/whatever you use to install packages on your system, install hunspell-yourlanguage, then find out where those .dic and .aff files have been installed (in synaptic you right click on that hunspell package and find it there), then in OmegaT, set "Dictionary file folder" to that folder.
On my openSUSE system it's /usr/share/myspell, yours would be something simillar.

Then make sure you checked "Automatically check spelling of text" and that your project has source and target languages set correctly.
Good luck,

| Spell-checker for Omega 2.6.3.7. | Mar 14, 2014 |
Hi guys,
I am trying to install and use the spell-checker for Bulgarian language. I have followed all your previous advise and have matched the name of the dictionary files to my target language abbreviation - bg_BG. Now, however every single word gets underlined (and no - I don't have a spelling mistake in every word). No suggestions pop up when you right click on an underlined word... See more Hi guys,

Now, however every single word gets underlined (and no - I don't have a spelling mistake in every word). No suggestions pop up when you right click on an underlined word. I tried using almost every link from: http://www.omegat.org/en/howtos/spelling.html and installed and removed all the available dictionaries for Bulgarian - same result.
Any ideas? Much appreciated! ▲ Collapse

It seems the Bulgarian dictionary from the various mirrors is not complete. If you look at what is downloaded, you will see that there is a bg_BG.dic, but no corresponding bg_BG.aff. Of course, this cannot work. If you know a working Open/LibreOffice (.oxt) extension with the Bulgarian dictionary, download it, rename it to .zip, extract the .dic and .aff from it, and copy the files to the folder mentioned in Options > Spell Checking.

Check the encoding declaration in the aff file. If it's

change it to
