UK English Spelling
Hi!

I couldn't seem to find a UK (or preferably Australian) English spelling plug-in or dictionary to work with EmEditor v11. After some research and Googling I found the following website:

http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/dictionaries

There are dictionaries for many languages on this website. In my case I selected English/Australian and it takes you to the specific dictionaries webpage. On this page is a button titled "Get IT!" - click this button and it will download a file titled "dict-en-au-2008-12-15.oxt" ("au" for "Australian"). You can open a "*.oxt" file with 7zip (and other zip type software I presume). In the .oxt tile you will find many files but the two you need are en_AU.aff and en_AU.dic (substitute "en_AU" for your language preference). Extract these files and copy them to the "Dictionary" directory where EmEditor is installed.

You will need to use the Edit->Spelling->Dictionaries menu option to set your new dictionary as the default.

I hope this helps.

Regards,
Peter
