Good time of the day!
How I can install dictionaries with this version of K-meleon?

Download Spell Check http://kmext.sourceforge.net/extensions/spellcheck.7z Extension for K-Meleon 1.1.x - 1.5.x.

Then extract the folder dictionaries folder into K-Meleon 74 Root Folder.

Spell Ceck http://kmext.sourceforge.net/extensions/spellcheck.7z Extension and Seell Cehck 2 http://kmext.sourceforge.net/extensions/spellcheck0.8.7z Extension for K-Meleon 1.6.x most likely will work with K-Meleon 74,

Becuase SpellCehck 2 http://kmext.sourceforge.net/extensions/spellcheck0.8.7z Extensons for K-Meleon 1.6.x it needs SpellCheck http://download.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/releases/1.1.7/windows-xpi/spellcheck.xpi for Seamonkey 1.1.7 which is most likely nt compatible with K-Meleon 74 (Firefox).

The Spell Check http://kmext.sourceforge.net/extensions/spellcheck.7z Extension for K-Meleon 1.1.x - 1.5.x. most likey needs SpellCechk http://download.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/releases/1.1.7/windows-xpi/spellcheck.xpi for Seamonkey 1.1.7 as well.

The Dictionarie for Sepll Check Spell Check http://kmext.sourceforge.net/extensions/spellcheck.7z Extension for K-Meleon 1.1.x - 1.5.x. are in an attached file

I had to maximum compression isntead of normal compression with 7-Zio so that SpellCheck.zip was not over 512KB

Spell checking does not work on all systems.
Not on mine. XP SP3 km 74.

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

If the installer says not compatible?

The files can be extracted from the *.xpi. (xpi=zip compressed)

AFAIK You can use any Firefox and SeaMonkey *.dic and *.aff.

K-Meleon should find them If You place them in the dictionaries folder.

p.s. SeaMonkey and Firefox do this too. I used it to install an old unsupported spelling version in SM.

Hi, George_Hall,

Your explanations are a bit complicated.

Here is what I made:

- dictionaries folder under km root folder
- spelltest.dll in kplugins
- spellcheck.kmm in locales/fr
- spellcheck.xpi in browser/extensions

Doesn't work ... but perhaps I miss something : spellcheck has no install.rdf as other extensions.., and no chrome.manifest too

:s

When installed with the help of an "xpi" from the link I posted they have an install.rdf, are by default installed unpacked in the used profile/extensions/...

Some examples.

The German version's (de-DE@dictionaries.addons.mozilla.org) install.rdf has unpack = true. It can automatically install, needs no restart and supports almost all Mozillas that I know including mobile. It adds an item to about:addons namely installed "Wörterbücher". It has only one possible German spelling. There are two, plus Austrian and Swiss.

The Hebrew version's (he@dictionaries.addons.mozilla.org) install.rdf also has unpack, supports much less products and versions and seems to need a restart.
Do not know for sure yet.

The Persian version's (fa@dictionaries.addons.mozilla.org) install.rdf has unpack, needs restart and knows few products.

The French version's (fr-dicollecte@dictionaries.addons.mozilla.org) install.rdf also has unpack, supports fewer products (like Hebrew), no restart needed like with Geman and ships 4 spellings. Adds an item in Wörterbücher/dictionaries like the German version.

The Russian version's (ru@dictionaries.addons.mozilla.org) install.rdf also has unpack, supports almost as many products as German, comes with one of two spellings old or new / I chose new. Adds items to about:addons dictionaries right away.


However. I can not check what they do - my K-Meleon 74 does not do spellcheck.

p.s. Farsi and Hebrew will not appear in about:addons dictionaries after restart though they seem installed.

You can howewer edit their install.rdf to include:

<em:type>64</em:type> <!-- dictionary -->
<em:bootstrap>true</em:bootstrap>

To make them appear there. But I do not know and can not test for bad side effects of this.

Uh, that's just a typo, right?

Yes. Naturally the kml will go into ./Locales/de/ :O de/fr can be in any locale.
It is the SpellTest.kml below.

The SpellCheck.kmm goes into ./macros // No idea why they have different names.
Anyway. It belongs to this macro:

}

setaccel("ALT *","macros(DictPath)");
}
$OnInit=$OnInit."_SpellCheck_SetAccels;_SpellCheck_BuildMenu;";

# ----------------------------------------------------------
$macroModules=$macroModules."SpellCheck;";

p.s. no idea whether the kplugin still works. The one for 1.6 is the my favorite candidate - but as I said I cannot test anything.

I understand nothing. Anybody has spellchecking working?
What I should do? My OS Windows 8.1 and my K-meleon version is 74?
What should by in K-meleon subfolders in order to ensure spell checking?

Most 74 users have spell check working. But it did not work on some XP systems.
I was affected from this problem until today.

For an unknown reason my 74 started underlining wrong English words today.

The only thing I changed I deactivated Hebrew and some other dictionaries yesterday. I had installed Hebrew and Persian to check how the installers work / to try to solve Your problem.

Because I had given up to solve the spell checking problem for my system.

So You have problems on 8.1.

I have the English dictionary in:

./e:/K-Meleon74.0/dictionaries/en-gb.dic and en-gb.aff (the two belong together and make the checking for that language possible).

I assume that they started to work after I installed from the link I posted and deactivated American, French, Hebrew, Russian and Persian spell checking. As I posted above I changed something in two of the Addons. But I think that is not needed.

This about:config value seems to rule what dictionary is used.

spellchecker.dictionary it was set to English-English after all the recent changes.

p.s. The last couple of posts are about a file (extension kml) that translates K-Meleon menu items to French & German. Just cut that out. There is no Hebrew or Persian K-Meleon version. You only need it for Russian if You use the Russian K-Meleon - or for German, Spanish and French. It has nothing to do with the spell checker itself.

BTW. I think I found the reason why the spell checker did not work here. I cannot not use the en-US. It seems I have rotten files for that.

I will keep You updated if I find out more.

The spell checker macro and dll by mark307 to which the kml mentioned above belongs does not seem to work. I checked in its source it seems to be for the SeaMonkey version of spell checker. No idea yet what to do next. :s
