Whiteboard
Discussion:
Guus: Why not use the Firefox wordbooks? I mean in the way that people can press a button called "wordbooks" and then they can select the ones that are also offered in Firefox, a right click on the word to select language and then a red line if the word is wrong. The wordbooks are listed here https:/
~marten-de-vries: Currently, we're thinking about these sources for spell checking:
- Use libraries that access the OS spell checker / the most popular spell checker for the OS.
- Use dictionaries from other programs (Firefox, LibreOffice)
- Use online services, like Google Spell Check. (not the same as google translate)
We'll implement as many options as possible. (ODS-3x decision.)

Using enchant seems to work, and it's local making it fast. Bundling a few dicts is not necessary on linux (they are already installed) and is not too hard for Windows/Mac. There is already a languageGuesser module (based on the pycountry python module) inside the branch, which converts the words Deutsch, german and Duits all to 'de' language code, making re-using the question & answer language boxes possible. Nothing else started yet, though.

Infrastructure is now fully there. Adding the stuff to link it together should be pretty easy now.

Works fine for words now.
