Hi folks!
My latest challenge on my road to QXP domination is to establish whether there are other spelling dictionaries available for QXP – more specifically for the Afrikaans language.
If that does not exist, is it possible to manually create an auxiliary dictionary without using the regular utility in QXP – this will take years to get a complete dictionary built like that.
I have a dictionary file (in plain text) consisting of over 250,000 Afrikaans words. This .dic file I sometimes use in MS Word. I can open the .dic file in any text editor and can copy and paste etc. from and to it.
I did create a QXP auxiliary dictionary and then went and opened it in a text viewer, and found the few word I put in is there, plus a little bit of other weird chars. A further experiment also caused a message from QXP at some stage which says that the auxiliary dictionary is too large. So I am concluding there is some sort of limit to how many words this thing can take, does anyone know this limit?
So if there’s anyone out there who can shed some light onto how to create a dictionary for this language it would really be welcome. I will gladly share it with anyone who is interested.
Best wishes
