Checking Spelling in the Editor

As you translate, the Editor underlines words it does not recognize. Right-click an underlined word to see correction suggestions, or to add the word to your dictionary so it is no longer flagged.

  • Fixing a flagged word: choose a suggestion from the right-click menu.

  • Adding a word to your dictionary: stop a correct word from being flagged.


Fixing a Flagged Word

Right-click a word with a red underline. The menu lists spelling suggestions; click one to replace the word in the segment.

Adding a Word to Your Dictionary

Right-click the word and select Add to dictionary. The word is added to the dictionary you have set as your preferred one for that language, so it is treated as correct from then on. Every underline of that word in the language column clears immediately, and the change is saved.

A language can have several dictionaries available on the platform. You choose which one is your preferred dictionary for each language in your Editor preferences, and that is the dictionary Add to dictionary writes to.

If you have the Browser dictionary selected for a language, Add to dictionary has no effect. Select one of the platform dictionaries for that language to use this action.
