Passolo can check spelling using Word spelling engine
In earlier posts, we configured spelling checks in Word, memoQ, Trados Studio, and Wordfast. Today our point of interest is Passolo.
Passolo is a CAT tool developed by SDL for the translation of user interfaces (UI) and video games. It is available in several editions:
- SDL Passolo Translator Edition
- SDL Passolo Essential
- SDL Passolo Professional Edition
- SDL Passolo Team Edition
- SDL Passolo Collaboration Edition
In all of them, the method is the same:
In Passolo, select Tools > Options. Options dialog box opens. Click Spelling Check on the left pane. Then, choose the language you need on the right pane, in Settings for the drop-down list. Then choose the Microsoft Word spelling engine in Spelling Checker drop-down list:
Then, click OK.

The Philippines and the Spanish language
Linguogeographic notes In 1542, two islands of the archipelago, which would receive the name of the Philippines later,—Leyte and Samar—were named Felipinas after Philip (Felipe) II, the king of Spain at that time.
