Automatic spell check change language - ZD

[soba@ukw.edu.pl]

When will be available change spell check language from Zimbra Desktop GUI?

This steps sometimes are too difficult for simple users:

I have users who send emails in multiple languages ​​- manually change the spellcheck language every time (ad-hoc) is troublesome for them.

I agree with you and hope this could be implemented in the near future. Voting for this bug/enhancement can help:

Bug 35874 – provide same way of installing/switching dictionaries as FF does

Soon we'll do a script for Windows Vista/7 (bat file) that will be able to change the language to define in the script - but this is not solving the problem. Maybe we'll do a separate GUI for it. Our users write many letters in Japanese, English, Italian, Spanish, French, etc..

Solution is very simple:

Eg. linux - very simple script:
unzip the files (lang files and user.js) and exetuce samplescript.sh - Prepare in advance user.js file into the appropriate language

#!/bin/sh
cp langfiles /opt/zimbra/zdesktop/linux/prism/xulrunner/dictionaries &&
cp userwitchlangA.js ~/zdesktop/profile/user.js &&
kill -HUP #your zimbra process name - I don't remember process name.
# or: kill -HUP `ps -ef | grep zimbra process name | grep -v grep | awk ‘{print $2}’`

echo DONE - if you want, you can create a ASCI menu with choice lang for it


user.js can be change after the ZD update, so best and safety way is use a awk or sed editors [find and replace line with: user_pref("spellchecker.dictionary", „lang"); ], when we don't have replace all user.js file.

I work in English and Spanish all the time and I would also love to see an EASY way to switch back and forth quickly.

We created a simple script to change the language from EN to PL in Windows XP / 7 - We will provide a source in the near future (at this forum). Will be able to rewrite the script itself to their needs.
