Hi, I tried to install the spellcheck function in lyx on my Windows VISTA and got it working for the English language. But it just won't work for other languages although the dictionaries are installed. I went to Tools - Preferences - Spellchecker and I typed in the Alternative language field: de (for german) Lyx found my de-common.multi file - that is for sure, since I once changed it to de-comm.multi and Lyx gave me an error message (as expected). So, typing "de" in the alternative language DOES have the effect that Lyx needs my German dictionary, but it DOES NOT have the effect that it also uses it. That is the problem. Lyx always uses the English dictionary no matter what I type in as a alternative language (I also tried it out with French and Spanish). After hours of uninstalling, installing and googling I am really frustrated. Could you please help me?
Best regards Peter
