Add Dictionaries for the AutoCorrect Feature

To add new dictionaries for the AutoCorrect feature, or to replace an existing one, follow these steps:

  1. Download the files you need for your language dictionary.
  2. If you are creating a new dictionary, copy the downloaded .dat files to the autocorrect subfolder of the Oxygen XML Editor preferences folder.
    The Oxygen XML Editor preferences folder is [APPLICATION-DATA-FOLDER]/com.oxygenxml>, where [APPLICATION-DATA-FOLDER] is:
    • C:\Users\[USER-NAME]\AppData\Roaming on Windows Vista/7/8/10
    • [USER-HOME-FOLDER]/Library/Preferences on OS X
    • [USER-HOME-FOLDER] on Linux
  3. If you are updating an existing dictionary, copy the .dat file to the folder [OXYGEN_DIR]/dicts/autocorrect.
  4. Restart the application after copying the dictionary files.
    Note: You can setup Oxygen XML Editor to use dictionaries from a custom location configured in the Dictionaries preferences page.
