How does spell checking work TN-Q15

SortSite supports multi-lingual spell checking in:

  • Français (fr-FR)
  • English - US (en-US)
  • English - Canadian (en-CA)
  • English - UK (en-GB)
  • English - Australian (en-AU)

Spelling language

Spelling checking is only done when a spelling language is set in the Scan Options window.

The dictionary used for spelling is chosen as follows:

<!-- Scan Options spelling language set to English - UK (en-GB) -->
<html>
    <p>No language is specified for the page, so is spell checked using the default language set in Scan Options: English - UK (en-GB)</p>

    <!-- this paragraph is spell checked as French -->
    <p lang='fr-FR'>Parlez-vous français?</p>

    <!-- this paragraph is also spell checked as French -->
    <p lang='fr-FR'>This text is incorrectly marked as French.</p>
</html>

<!-- Scan Options spelling language set to Français (fr-FR) -->
<html lang='en-US'>
    <p>This text is spell checked as the default page language: English - US (en-US)</p>

    <p spellcheck='false'>This text is not spell checked due to the spellcheck attribute.</p>

    <!-- this paragraph is spell checked as French -->
    <p lang='fr-FR'>Parlez-vous français?</p>

    <!-- this paragraph is Italian, but not spell checked because there's no Italian dictionary -->
    <p lang='it-IT'>Parla italiano?</p>  
</html>

When are words not spell checked

  • When Scan Options is set to ‘No Spell Check’
  • When the page or element uses a lang attribute other than French or English
  • When a word starts with a Capital letter and the ‘Ignore Capitalized’ option is set
