Advanced: Changes in Dictonaries in FM 10/11 | TERM CHECK

[Georg Eck]

Hello everybody.

THX for your feedback and questions.

Matt, yes I forgot this news. 
Since InDesign CS5.5 it works with HunSpell dictionaries too. Now, with
Fm11 there are mostly your decision to work with
Proximity or HunSpell dictionaries for Spell Check, Hyphenation and
Thesaurus, if available.

*****
John: 
The best of this Adobe strategy: Now several Adobe products use this
same dictionaries and you can update these anytime.
It's a great news too, that now you can add/exclude/except any
words/phrases for a project in an user or project dictionary, and Id
CS6, Fm11, ... use the same dictionaries.
Therefore there is  Finalyser TERM CHECK now available for Id, Fm, MS
Word and NEW for SIMQIN too, and we advise:
+ design, save and use your language dictionaries central
+ design, save and use your terminology central central 
+ and check on all applications on all clients in a workgroup based on
these central data

Winfried Reng: The differences of HunSpell and Proximity:
1. HunSpell is open source and you can add any developed and other
languages any time.
2. HunSpell is now the default dictionary setting in Fm11 and in Id CS6
3. Since Fm11 Adobe install 45 HunSpell dictionaries for 23 languages.
More dictionaries:
http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/de/dictionaries
4. These dictionaries are better as in FM 8 and earlier.
5. Somebody say, that the quality is in several languages different,
sometimes Proximity is better
or in same languages Proximity Thesaurus is available only.
6. Different is the algorithm, that it's very important for hyphenation
quality.

Betreff: Changes in Dictonaries in FM 10/11 

Hello everybody.

That's not a question - that's a little story about changes with
Dictionaries in FM 10/11:
Perhaps, that is useful for users they want to update from FM 8 to
10/11.
Somebody did successful worked with user.dct and site.dct in the past,
but what is new in FM 10 or 11?

At first save your user.dct and site.dct (or other dictionaries)!

*********************
Default maker.ini in $fmhome:

[Files]
;-------------------------------- Files
-------------------------------------
; If it is not an absolute path, then it is relative to the FMHome
directory.
UserDictionary=
SiteDictionary=dict\site.dct

If there is no link to a path/file for an UserDictionary, you can find
the default directory in: 
C:\Users\[name]\AppData\LocalLow\Adobe\Linguistics:
\Dictionaries (FM10)
\UserDictionaries (Fm 11)
   \ FMUserDictionary 
            \all    added.txt  >  for the added words/phrases
                      excluded.txt >  for the excluded words/phrases 
            \de_DE   etc.     >  devided for every Langauge

More: Soon in our http://WORKFLOWblog.de (currently in German only)

You can find the SiteDictionary (see maker.ini) at $fmhome\dict with
site.dct, but it should be in \FMSiteDictionary in AppData or it would
be better for a workgroup it should be on a shared/server disk.

Question: Where are saved the Standard Language Dictionaries?
Since FrameMaker 9 there is a central path: 
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Linguistics

********************************************
Note: There is an additional maker.ini for every user, you can find it
here:
C:\Users\[name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\FrameMaker\11
All settings in user maker.ini are winning about the central maker.ini
in $fmhome.

You can delete the user maker.ini, at next start of FrameMaker,
FrameMaker will create a new maker.ini for the user (Please save the
user maker.ini at first!)
