gerlos Registered Member Posts 73 Karma 0 OS	[Sonnet] Easier language switch in spell check Sun Apr 12, 2009 11:23 am I often write in different languages, mostly English and Italian, but also a little in French, and I find myself change very frequently the default language in the spell checker. I'd like an easier way to switch language, for example a sub-menu somewhere in the main menu or in the right-click menu, like firefox does.

pano Registered Member Posts 58 Karma 0 OS	RE: [Sonnet] Easier language switch in spell check Tue Apr 14, 2009 10:12 pm yep another +1 from me for this option, it really sucks if you have to write in several different languages (3 for me) and can't easily switch the language. pano, proud to be a member of KDE forums since 2008-Nov.

Primoz Moderator Posts 859 Karma 1 OS	RE: [Sonnet] Easier language switch in spell check Tue Apr 14, 2009 10:30 pm I also agree. I just can't find an English spellcahecker in Sonnet for konqueror, and I gre acustumed to Firefox spellchecker. I only have Turkish, Hebrew and Slovenian. And I don't really need Turkish nor Hebrew and Slovenian is empty. What I really want is an settings frontend for Sonnet with GHNS (get hot new stuff) abiltiy, so you can easily install the dictionary that you need.

Milian Wolff KDE Developer Posts 61 Karma 1 OS	RE: [Sonnet] Easier language switch in spell check Tue Apr 14, 2009 11:08 pm Actually wasn't it once planned to get a language-guesser into sonnet? So no or only seldom a manual change would be required. See also: http://commit-digest.org/issues/2007-01-07/ http://blog.jacobrideout.net/2007/02/so ... dates.html Could anyone get into it and see what the status is here? Or maybe try to contact Jacob Rideout. This would be _the_ killer feature in my eyes! current KDE projects: Quanta, KDevelop, Kate

d.h Registered Member Posts 17 Karma 0 OS	[Sonnet] Easier language switch in spell check Mon Sep 14, 2009 10:49 am +1 from me also. Of course would a automatic detection of the language be much better. Mguesser does this rather well, so it's not science fiction.
