Installing the Bislama Spelling Checker in Firefox. --------------------------------------------------- 1. Download the bislama.txt file which contains all the Bislama words. It is a simple text file with one word per line. To install the Bislama Spelling Dictionary, you have to modify the persdict.dat [a text file with dat extension] located in the profile folder of your Firefox installation. C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ persdict.dat holds the personal dictionary entries used by the spellchecker that have been added by you. THis is the location in MS Windows, other versions of Firefox will store the file in other locations. Search for the file and then follow the same instructions below. Note: If you cannot find the file, it may not have been created yet. To create the file, go to www.google.com (Using Firefox!) and in the search box add the word "aaaa", right click and select Spellcheck this field. The word should now be underlined and you can right click it and select Add to Dictionary. This will create your new persdict.dat file with just aaa in it. Remember to delete this word from persdict.dat in the next step. 2. Shut down Firefox. 3. Open the persdict.dat file using Notepad or any text editor. 4. With persdict.dat open inside Notepad, open bislama.txt in another Notepad window. Copy all the words from bislama.txt and add them to the end of the persdic.dat file. Make sure every word is on it's own line. 5. Save and close the persdict.dat file, close bislama.txt and restart Firefox. 6. To test: Go back to www.google.com and enter lukum in the search box, right click in the search box and select Spellcheck this field. If you have installed it correctly, lukum should not be highlighted with a red squiggly line. Try some other Bislama words and they should work too. If you find incorrect words or missing words, email daryl@swtech.com.au and I will check them and if necessary correct or add them to the next release. regards Daryl Moon 29 October 2007
