Setting the spell checking language

29 June 2009 at 3:57am

Hey,
Does anyone know how to set the spell checking language for the back-end of the CMS? I looked at "jsparty" > "tiny_mce2" > "plugins" > "spellchecker" > "config.php" but this doesn't seem to specify a language.
I changed "sapphire" > "_config.php" to include "i18n::set_locale('en_GB');" but the only language available for the spell checker is still "English (United States)".
Any ideas?

hello,
had the same problem an did some research on it:
the magic happens in CMSMain.php:
$spellcheckLangs = Translatable::get_existing_content_languages();

now, in case you want to set a specific language manually, you can do this through HtmlEditorConfig in _config.php like so (i.e. for german):
HtmlEditorConfig::get('cms')->setOption('spellchecker_languages', '+Deutsch=de');

(the '+' will make it auto-selected)
problem being, the code in CMSMain.php will overwrite what you did in _config.php, so you have to comment out the following line there:
HtmlEditorConfig::get('cms')->setOption('spellchecker_languages', '+' . implode(',', $spellcheckSpec));

thanks, ingo!
edit: just found there are still other options getting overridden in LeftAndMain.php
i tried the following in my _config.php:
HtmlEditorConfig::get('cms')->removeButtons('tablecontrols');

but it doesn't work, because of this in LeftAndMain.php:
HtmlEditorConfig::get('cms')->addButtonsToLine(3, 'tablecontrols');

commenting this line out once again does the trick, but...
should i file a ticket for this?
edit: there's even more... ticket created: http://open.silverstripe.com/ticket/4390

thanks ingo for this fix;
might be interesting for the german-language using of you:
i had a problem with the suggested words and german umlauts ("deutsche Umlaute") and replaced therefore in GoogleSpell.php in function getSuggestions the line
$sug = explode("\t", utf8_encode($this->_unhtmlentities($matches[0][4])));
with
$sug = explode("\t", $this->_unhtmlentities($matches[0][4]));

see also a short german description of this issue there: http://blog.wordpress-deutschland.org/2008/09/08/tinymce-und-die-deutsche-rechtschreibpruefung.html

I have the same problem: I am using Silverstripe 2.3.6. I want the spellchecker of TinyMCE to check Dutch spelling. Which code do I have to overwrite?
I am a beginner in PHP so I need some strong directions . I tried the soluton above but it didn't work (I probably did something wrong).
