How to Enable Spelling Check by Word Spell Checker in Trados Studio
22 March 2023
About switching the spelling check to Word spell checker in Trados Studio
By default, Trados Studio checks spelling using the free Hunspell dictionaries, but you can enable the Word spelling module in Trados Studio instead. This is how to do it:
- In Trados Studio, choose File > Options. The Options dialog box appears.
- In the left pane, select Editor, and then, in the list that appears, select Spelling.
- In the drop-down list on the right side of the Active Spell Checker dialog box, select MS Word Spell Checker.
We recommend checking the Check spelling as you type checkbox: Trados Studio will highlight spelling mistakes in red as you type. Below you can also specify whether spelling mistakes in locked segments, 100% matches, and CM/PM segments are to be ignored.
