<title>Using spell-check</title>
<p>You can choose the right substitution for misspelt words using the Check
Spelling dialog. The misspelt word being checked by the spell-checker is
displayed in bold style next to <gui>Misspelled word:</gui>.
You can choose from the following corrective actions:</p>
<list>
<item>
<p><gui style="input">Change to:</gui> allows you to input a word and
use <gui style="button">Check Word</gui> to check the validity of the
spelling.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p><gui style="menu">Suggestions:</gui> lists the available
substitutions for the word.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p><gui style="button">Ignore</gui> allows you to bypass spell check for
<em>a</em> instance of current word.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p><gui style="button">Ignore All</gui> allows you to bypass spell check
for <em>all</em> instances of the current word.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p><gui style="button">Change</gui> substitutes the misspelt or
unrecognized word with <em>a</em> chosen substitute from the
<gui style="menuitem">Suggestions:</gui> list.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p><gui style="button">Change all</gui> substitutes <em>all</em>
misspelt or unrecognized words with the chosen substitute from the
<gui style="menuitem">Suggestions:</gui> list.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p><gui style="button">Add word</gui> allows you to add the current word
to the <app>gedit</app> <gui>User dictionary</gui>. Adding custom words
to the <gui>User dictionary</gui> will allow <app>gedit</app> to
recognize the word in documents and thus will not be highlighted as a
misspelt word.</p>
</item>
</list>
</section>
<section id="define-spell-check-language">
<title>Define the language to use for spell checking</title>
<p>By default, <app>gedit</app> will use your current language to spell
check your document. If you need to use another language, choose
<guiseq><gui style="menu">Tools</gui><gui style="menuitem">Set
Languageā¦</gui></guiseq>, then choose the language you want to use.</p>
</section>
<section id="dict">
<title>Dictionaries</title>
<p><app>gedit</app> uses
<link href="http://www.abisource.com/projects/enchant/">Enchant</link>,
a small system utility, for spell checking. Enchant can use
several different dictionaries to check your spelling. Two such
dictionary back-ends are <em>Hunspell</em> and <em>Aspell</em>.</p>
<p>If the language you want to use is not available in <app>gedit</app>,
use your computer's software installer or package manager to install the
dictionary back-end that you want.</p>
