The default DotNetNuke installation give us a full-featured RadEditor, which we can customize modifying our configuration files as described in the wiki. Its Ajax Spell-Checker is enabled by default, but only has a dictionary for english-US. However, it is very simple to add more dictionaries: let’s see how.

1. Modify web.config

Add the following line to your web.config, under the httphandlers section:

2. Add dictionaries

Download dictionary files and install in DNNROOT\App_Data\RadSpell.

Here’s my App_Data\RadSpell folder content after installing the italian dictionary (the .txt file is generated if you add custom terms to the dictionary):

You can find dictionary files in this post at Telerik website.

3. Modify RadEditor configuration

Edit your RadEditor’s toolsfile configuration (the default is DNNROOT\Providers\HtmlEditorProviders\Telerik\Config\ToolsDefault.xml), adding a languages element and putting your desired dictionaries under it:

<languages>
<language code="en-US" title="English">language>
<language code="it-IT" title="Italiano">language>
languages>

In this example I enabled spell-checking for two dictionaries, the default en-US and italian. Use your language code to fill the code attribute, and any text for the title (which will appear in editor).

4. Use new dictionaries

And here’s the result: when you click the spell-check button , you now get a dropdown list to choose the language.
