Для быстрого поиска определения можно также воспользоваться Spotlight.
Your Mac’s built-in spellchecker can be an invaluable tool for catching spelling mistakes and typos, but if you regularly type words that aren’t in your Mac’s dictionary, then macOS’ spellchecking functionality can actually make typing more difficult.
If you regularly type unusual brand or product names, technical terms, foreign words, or other “niche” terms, then at best, your Mac will keep underlining these words, but at worst it’ll step in and attempt to autocorrect these “mistakes.”
If it’s starting to feel like you’re fighting against your Mac’s spellchecker, then in this article I’m going to show you how to quickly and easily add words to macOS’ dictionary. This system-wide, built-in dictionary is used by Apple’s entire suite of apps, plus many third party applications, so once you’ve added a word you’ll typically find that most programs stop complaining about that word, and will never attempt to autocorrect it again.
And just in case you slip up and add a word that’s spelt incorrectly, or that contains a typo, I’ll also be showing you how to remove words that you’ve added to macOS’ dictionary.
Add a word to macOS’ dictionary
To add a word to macOS’ dictionary, you’ll need to type that word into a program that uses the dictionary. I’m going to use TextEdit, as it’s readily available to all Mac users:
- Open a Finder window, navigate to the ‘Applications’ folder and launch the TextEdit app.
- Type the word, exactly as you want it to appear in your Mac’s dictionary, but do not press the space bar.
- Control-click the word, and then select ‘Learn spelling’ from the context menu.
This word has now been added to the dictionary – it’s as simple as that! If you type the word again, then TextEdit won’t underline it with that annoying red squiggle or attempt to autocorrect you.
Repeat the above steps for every word you want to add to the dictionary. Once you’ve finished, close the TextEdit document – you don’t need to worry about saving this document, as all the words have already been added to macOS’ dedicated LocationDictionary file.
Remove a word from macOS’ dictionary
If you’ve added a word only to realise that you typed it incorrectly – maybe a typo crept in, or a spelling mistake – then you should remove this word from the dictionary, so you can then re-add it with the correct spelling. Note that this technique only works for words you’ve added yourself, and not for words that are included in the dictionary by default.
- Open a TextEdit document, if you don’t have one open already.
- Type the word you want to remove from the dictionary – again, don’t press the space bar.
- Control-click the word and select ‘Unlearn Spelling.’
Add, Remove and Edit words in your custom word list
The ‘Unlearn Spelling’ option is the quickest and easiest way to remove a single word from your Mac’s dictionary, but it can be time-consuming if you have a long list of words you want to delete – plus, it doesn’t give you the option of editing words you’ve already added to the dictionary.
Whenever you tell macOS to ‘Learn spelling,’ it adds this word to a dedicated TextEdit file that you can open and edit, just like regular text, which is perfect for editing words you’ve previously added to the dictionary, or for removing and even adding custom spellings en masse:
- Launch a Finder window.
- Select ‘Go > Go to Folder…’ from the toolbar.
- Enter the path
/Library/Spelling
LocalDictionary will open in a new TextEdit document where each word appears on its own line. You can edit any of these words, just as you would edit regular text, or remove a word from the dictionary by deleting it. You can also use this document to add new custom spellings – just make sure you type each word on a new line.
Once you’ve finished, don’t forget to save your changes by selecting ‘File > Save’ from the toolbar.
Updating apps and services that don’t use macOS’ dictionary
While this technique will work for the majority of apps, there’s always going to be exceptions – the most notables ones being Microsoft Word and Google Docs.
If you discover that a program is still complaining about word(s) that you added to macOS’ built-in dictionary, then this means the program has its own dictionary, which you’ll need to update separately. The steps will vary depending on the program in question, but checking the program’s ‘Preferences’ or ‘Settings’ menu is usually a good place to start.

Most Mac applications use the operating system’s spell check feature, and share the same personal dictionary. So if you add a custom word to your dictionary in one application, other Mac apps won’t detect it as a typo in the future. But there’s no obvious way to remove a word from the dictionary if you accidentally add one.
Some Mac applications–such as Microsoft Word and other Microsoft Office apps–use their own dictionary, so this doesn’t apply to them. However, many applications, even cross-platform ones like Google Chrome, use the Mac dictionary.
Quickly Remove a Word You Just Added
If you just added a word to your dictionary, Mac OS X provides a quick way to remove it. However, applications need to actually implement the “remove a word” feature, and few do. it doesn’t matter which application you added the word from–assuming it added the word to the system dictionary, which most applications do, you can quickly remove it from TextEdit.
For example, let’s say you just accidentally added “teh” to your dictionary in Google Chrome for Mac instead of correcting it to “the.” Chrome and other Mac applications will no longer mark “teh” as a misspelled word.
To quickly fix this, you’ll need to open the TextEdit application. To do so, press Command+Space to open Spotlight search, type “TextEdit”, and press Enter. You can also open the Finder, select “Applications,” and double-click “TextEdit.”
Create a new document in TextEdit by clicking the “New Document” button.
Type the misspelling into TextEdit, or copy and paste it from the other application. You can then Ctrl-click or right-click the misspelled word. Click the “Unlearn spelling” option to remove the misspelled word from your personal dictionary.
Close TextEdit afterwards and click “Delete” when you’re asked to save your modified document. You don’t need to save the empty document you created.
This would be more convenient if other Mac applications also provided this feature. It was added to TextEdit in Mac OS X 10.7, and other applications can choose to offer this feature. However, many Mac applications, including Google Chrome, haven’t bothered implementing the “Unlearn Spelling” option.
You’ll need to head to TextEdit if you ever accidentally add a word to your dictionary in many other Mac applications. If you right-click or Ctrl-click a word and don’t see “Unlearn Spelling,” visit TextEdit.
View and Edit Your Custom Word List
Let’s say you accidentally added one or more misspelled words and you aren’t sure exactly what they are. Or, you may have accidentally added words in the past and don’t remember all of them. Unfortunately, Mac OS X doesn’t provide a preferences pane for managing your custom dictionary. However, this information is stored in a text file you can easily edit yourself.
First, you’ll need to find this file. It’s located under the normally hidden Library folder, and is different for each user. To get there, launch a Finder window. Click the “Go” menu and select “Go to Folder.”
Enter the following address and click the “Go” button:
This will take you to the /Users/USERNAME/Library/Spelling folder.
You’ll see a “LocalDictionary” file here. Open it in TextEdit by Ctrl-clicking or right-clicking it, pointing to “Open With,” and selecting “TextEdit.”
You’ll see a list of words here. If you’ve never added any custom words to your local dictionary, you’ll just see an empty file. Every word appears on its own line.
To remove words from your dictionary, just delete them from the list here. You can delete the entire list to clear your entire dictionary, or delete specific words to remove them. Ensure any words left in the file appear on their own lines.
When you’re done, click the “File” menu and select “Save.” You can then close TextEdit.
Again, this will only work with apps that use the system-wide spell check dictionary, which most Mac applications use. Luckily, if an application uses its own built-in dictionary–like Microsoft’s Office applications do–that application should have built-in options for managing its dictionary in its Preferences screen.
For example, in Word 2016 for Mac, you can head to File > Options > Proofing > Custom Dictionaries and click “Edit Word List” to edit your custom dictionary.
For this month’s post I have a quick Mac OS X tip. I thought I’d post this quick tip in case it may save some fellow Mac users some time. It’s usually easy and intuitive to add words to the built-in Mac OS X spelling dictionary. However it is sometimes not quite so easy or intuitive how to remove a word from the dictionary.
Most applications on Mac OS X make it very easy to add new words to the system’s built-in spelling dictionary. In most Mac applications which allow text editing they will automatically underline misspelled words with a dotted red line. You may then right-click (or control-click) on the potentially misspelled word to open the pop-up context menu. On this menu you may select Learn Spelling (or Add to Dictionary or something similar). This will add the word to the Mac OS X spelling dictionary.
If you accidentally add a misspelled word to the dictionary you may later wonder how to remove a word. Some applications however fail to include an easy way to remove a previously learned word. For instance in Firefox you may Add to Dictionary and immediately Undo Add to Dictionary if you happen to catch an error right away. However if you happen to notice the problem after you close and reopen the application there’s no easy way how to remove a word. While you can locate the system’s spelling dictionary, find and remove the misspelled word there’s a much quicker and easier method.
How to Remove a Word with TextEdit
If you’re left wondering how to remove a word from the spelling dictionary don’t worry. Simply follow these easy steps.
- Copy the word to the clipboard.
- Open the built-in TextEdit application.
- Paste the word into TextEdit.
- Right-click (or command click) on the word.
- Select Unlearn Spelling from the pop-up context menu.

Tip / Trick
Spell Check feature offered by operating system is used by most Mac applications and they also share the same personal dictionary. So if one custom word is added to the dictionary used by one application, the remaining applications will not detect it as a typo in the future. But if you have intentionally or unintentionally added a word into the dictionary, it has no obvious path for its removal.
It does not apply to the some of the Mac applications, such as Microsoft office apps as they use their own dictionary, so it does not apply to them. But despite of this many applications use Mac dictionary.
Remove the word which you just added:
If you have just added a word mistakenly in the dictionary, a quick method is suggested by the Mac OS X to remove the word. However, some of the applications require and some have ‘remove a word’ feature. Mostly it does not matter in which application you added the word. Lets assume as most of the applications do, you added the word in the systems dictionary. It can be quickly removed in TextEdit.
For example, you added the word ‘teh’ without correcting it to ‘the’ in the dictionary of the Google Chrome for Mac. Other Mac applications including chrome will no more mark ‘teh’ as wrong word.
To fix this problem, you need to open the TextEdit quickly. To open spotlight search press ‘command + space’, type TextEdit and press enter.
By clicking the new document create a new document in the TextEdit. Type that misspelled word in the document or you can copy and paste it from the other applications. Right-click on the misspelled word or you can CTRL + right click. A menu will appear containing the option of ‘Unlearn Spelling’ option. Click on that option to remove that word from the dictionary.
Afterward, close the TextEdit and choose the delete option when it will be asked to save the document because saving the document is not required. If this feature is offered by the other Mac Applications it will be more convenient. This feature was added to Mac OS X 10.7 and other applications can choose to offer this feature. But the problem is that many Mac applications is not offering this feature, the name of the famous browser Google Chrome is also in the list.
If you ever added the word in the dictionary you need to move quickly to the TextEdit in many other Mac applications. If you ever right click the word or CTRL + click the word but the option of ‘Unlearn a word’ do not appear, you need to visit TextEdit.
View or Edit Custom Word:
When you added a word by mistake and want to erase it. Launch the window finder. Click the ‘GO’ on the menu bar and select Go to Folder from the dropdown list. Write
/Library/Spelling
In the text box and click go. A ‘local dictionary ’ file will appear containing all the custom added words. Erase the word, you want to remove. Click on the ‘File’ on menu bar and select ‘save’ from the dropdown and close the file.
So, I think I’ve found a misspelled word in the Mac OS 10.8 dictionary. This is not a word that I’ve added. I double checked in \Library\Spelling and don’t have it added to any user dictionaries. When I look up the word the dictionary even states it is a common misspelling.
The word in question is “espresso” but if I type “expresso” it’s not underlined in red.
Is there anyway to edit the system dictionary? Or is this something I should submit to Apple as a bug?
*If I double click to select the word and then right click, I don’t have the “Unlearn Spelling” option.
1 Answer 1
Warning: be careful about editing the system dictionary as it is easy to get an unusable dictionary. You also run the risk of having the updated dictionary over-written by subsequent OSX updates.
To edit the system level dictionaries, there is a helpful Q&A that tells you where to find the dictionaries: superuser.
The System-wide equivalent, which is empty on my Mac, would be here:
/Library/Spelling/
Aside from this, you will find packaged dictionaries here:
/Library/Dictionaries/
If it were me, I would just add the word to my personal dictionary. Although your question was how to edit the system dictionary, I note that on my system (10.8.2 Australian English) both your words are accepted.
But Microsoft Word 2011 (with Australian English) puts red lines under expresso and is happy with espresso.
It appears your example may be one of those where there is different usage in different parts of the world and in different software packages.
Recent versions of Mac OS X will offer suggestions and automatically correct stuff if you’ve misspelled a word.
If you tap the spacebar when you see a suggestion like the one above, your Mac will helpfully insert the correction, and you’ll be on your way. But what if it keeps trying to correct a word you know is right? I find this happens a lot with technical terms.
Thanks for playing, but no.
Well, there’s a custom dictionary file for every user account on your Mac, and were you so inclined, you could go in and add words, names, or anything else you were tired of being corrected on to its list. This’ll prevent Mac OS X from attempting to correct those items, and it’ll also take away that irritating red squiggle underneath ’em that means they’re misspelled. Ah, bliss.
Editing that dictionary is actually simple—it’ll just involve getting to your hidden Library folder. To do that, click on the Finder icon in your Dock (it’s the blue smiley face on the left) and choose the “Go” menu at the top. If you hold down the Option key with that “Go” menu open, “Library” will appear.
Click that, and then look for a folder within it called “Spelling.” Open THAT, and you’ll see “LocalDictionary” inside.
Before you make changes here, I’d strongly suggest you make a copy of this file just in case something goes wrong. But then if you double-click “LocalDictionary,” it should open in your default text editor, and you’ll be able to see and edit its contents.
What a cromulent list.
Now’s where you go nuts—add multiple items to your dictionary (but be sure to keep them in alphabetical order!), edit things on it, or remove words if you don’t want them to be considered correctly spelled anymore. When you’ve made your changes, save the file and then log out and back in again. After you do that, your changes will be applied, and your life will be easier! Well, at least this one tiny bit of your life will be.
Oh, and there’s one more thing. If all you want to do is add a single word to this personal dictionary, that’s even faster. First, spell the word the way you’d like it to be, and then right-click on it and choose “Learn Spelling.”
That’ll automatically put the word in the dictionary file I mentioned above, and your Mac shouldn’t ever try to correct you again on it.
And by the way, I do actually know how to spell “dachshund.” I promise I only had to look it up two or three times.

Any custom spelling dictionary that you create within PowerPoint or any other Microsoft Office program is used by all the Office applications installed on your computer. Also, any changes made to the list of words within a custom dictionary reflect in proofing tools of all Office applications. Each logged-in user has a default custom dictionary called RoamingCustom.dic, stored in a separate folder for each local user.
If you are running Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7, you can find the default custom dictionary at this location:
C:\Users\ \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\UProof
So, what exactly is a default dictionary? Let’s assume you are running a regular spell check, and encounter a word that PowerPoint flags as misspelled. You know that the word is correctly spelled, and you choose the Add to Dictionary option. Any custom spellings that you add are saved to your default dictionary. We have already established in the preceding section that every user has a default custom dictionary called RoamingCustom.dic, but you can change your default custom dictionary to any other if you please. We will show you how to do that later in this tutorial. There are other aspects of spell checking that you may want to explore. For instance, after adding a ready-made 3rd party dictionary or creating a new dictionary, you may want to disable a custom dictionary temporarily and enable it later.
Follow these steps to learn more about enabling and disabling custom dictionaries. You will also learn how you can set a default custom dictionary in PowerPoint 365 for Windows:
- If you have launched PowerPoint, choose Options, as shown highlighted in green within Figure 1, below. Alternatively, if you already have a presentation open, choose the File menu to bring up Backstage view, and select Options. You can also press both the Alt and T keys together, and next press O .

Your Mac has its Look Up tool for getting quick definitions and other details about a word or phrase. But if you’re brand new to Mac, you might not realize that there’s an actual Dictionary app. This app that comes with your Mac can be quite useful too.
What makes the Dictionary app on Mac handy is that you can customize it with the sources you want. This lets you get information on something from Wikipedia, a synonym with the thesaurus, and of course, a definition with the Oxford Dictionary. Plus, you can have the option of multiple languages.
If you’re curious about the Dictionary app on your Mac, or want to allow your child to use it for schoolwork, here’s how to customize and use it.
The Dictionary app on Mac
- Open and customize the Dictionary app
- Using the Dictionary app
- The Dictionary window
- Restrict explicit content
Open and customize the Dictionary app
You can find the Dictionary app in your Applications folder or by using Spotlight.
Once you open it, you can pop in a word or phrase right away using the default sources. But to make it more useful, consider customizing it for those you’ll use most.
Click Dictionary > Preferences from the menu bar.
You’ll see all of the reference sources listed at the top with available languages at the bottom. If you don’t see the language you want in the list, click Other Languages and browse for it there.
Then it’s as simple as checking boxes for what you want to use. In the list of sources at the top, you can drag those you select to the order you want them. This makes it easier when you open the Dictionary.
When you finish, just close the preferences and then take the app for a spin.
Using the Dictionary app
Enter a word or phrase into the Search box at the top of the Dictionary window. Then, select the source you want to use. You can also choose All which is on the right to see results from every source. Pick the result you want on the left and you’ll see full details on the right.
If your source has a link, it will open right within the Dictionary window. So you don’t have to open your browser, which is convenient.
If you use Wikipedia as a source and do want to open the site in your browser, scroll to the bottom and click the View web page link. That page will open in your default browser, like Safari.
The Dictionary window
You can use the arrows on the top left to go back or forward and the font size buttons to increase or decrease the text size.
If you want to look up another word or phrase, but keep the details for the one you have, just open a new tab by clicking the plus sign on the right of the tab bar. You can open several tabs at once, letting you get information on everything you need in one spot.
Restrict explicit content
If you want to allow your child to use the Dictionary app for school, this is a great way to make use of it. But you may want to be sure they don’t see explicit content with it.
This control is contained in the Screen Time settings on Mac. If you’d like more details on setting up Screen Time, we have a helpful tutorial. But if you already have and just need to restrict the content for the Dictionary, follow these steps.
1) Open your System Preferences using the icon in your Dock or Apple icon > System Preferences from the menu bar.
2) Select Screen Time.
3) Pick the user on the top left and select Content on the right.
4) Uncheck the box next to Allow for Explicit Language in Siri & Dictionary.
Wrapping it up
The Dictionary app is one of those built-in tools that can be handy and useful, as long as you remember it’s there. So take advantage of it on your Mac the next time you need to look something up!
Did you realize you had a Dictionary app on your Mac or are you now going to give it a try? Let us know!

Apple has significantly updated Dictionary 2.0 for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, expanding it from a simple word lookup into a complete multilingual reference tool. Here’s a look at what’s new in Dictionary.
Mac OS X is based on NeXTSTEP, the operating system Steve Jobs left Apple to develop back in 1986, and brought back in 1997. Nearly twenty years ago, NeXTSTEP included a “Digital Librarian” application designed to browse and hyperlink together the information in digital books. Included with the system were the complete works of Shakespeare, The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations, Webster’s Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary, and Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Thesaurus.
Over the last two decades, NeXTSTEP sparked the development of the World Wide Web at CERN, which brought similar hyperlinked information to more mainstream computers. The RoughlyDrafted article “Safari on Windows? Apple and the Origins of the Web” described how Apple’s HyperCard and Tim Berners-Lee’s WWW for NeXT computers built the foundations of the open web on the Internet.
In Mac OS X Tiger, Apple reintroduced Dictionary as a system wide service. Right click on a word, and the “Look up in Dictionary” contextual menu will open the Dictionary application and present the word’s listing. Control+Apple+D can also be used to look up an entry for a selected word.
The Dictionary application can also search for words directly, either by entering whole words into the search bar or by just typing the first few letters. This makes it easy to look up a word’s spelling when the built-in spell checking service can’t suggest an alternative to the badly typed word which was entered. Tiger also offers a Dictionary widget for Dashboard. Both the widget and the full blown application draw from the New Oxford American Dictionary and the Oxford American Writer’s Thesaurus.
New Features in Leopard
Leopard’s Dictionary 2.0 adds a Digital Librarian-like function for adding new reference works. Apple includes a new dictionary of its own marketing terms, including Rosetta, Quartz, and Exposé, although it doesn’t offer to define many terms outside of product names. It also doesn’t offer anything for terms such as Carbon, Darwin, or Core Graphics. Perhaps Apple should throw in a developer dictionary that might be more useful than its definitions of Cover Flow and MacBook. The Apple Dictionary also includes some oddly outdated terms such as Open Transport and A/UX.
Also included in the new Dictionary are a set of Japanese references, including the Shogakukan Daijisen Japanese dictionary, the Japanese thesaurus Shogakukan Ruigo Reikai Jiten, and the Shogakukan Progressive English-Japanese Japanese-English Dictionary. These are off by default, but can be enabled in preferences.
Preferences also allows users to set the English dictionary pronunciation guides to use common diacritical (?d. kritik?l) or the more formal IPA style (??da. kr?d?k?l), and to set the right click “Look up in Dictionary” function to launch the Dictionary app or to pop up a small contextual panel window (below). This feature is unchanged from Tiger.
Big in Japan
Once enabled, the new Japanese references appear in the Dictionary window bar. Results for a word can be isolated to a specific reference, or looked up in all enabled dictionaries at once. The Japanese dictionary gives a simple definition, while the Japanese-English dictionary provides translations for a variety of idiomatic expressions.
Wiki Wikipedia
Japanese isn’t the only expansion of the Dictionary application. It also now offers to do an instantaneous online lookup of words and phrases using Wikipedia. Since Wikipedia can return results on articles in a variety of languages, the new Dictionary allows you to select which language results to view.
Linking the dictionary with Wikipedia is smart, because many technical terms and cultural references have extensive community-created articles that would never appear in a formal dictionary. Dictionary 2.0 displays the full text, graphics, and diagrams of Wikipedia articles, although it uses a serif font for all references. That means it doesn’t look like the web version of Wikipedia, but rather like a more formal work.
The default 16 point text seems a little large for reading long articles in Wikipedia, but selecting a smaller font from the text size buttons of Dictionary’s Toolbar nearly makes it too small. Since it uses a delicate font face (which appears to be Baskerville), it begins to look thin and washed out at smaller typefaces. The default font size can be set in preferences, but not the font face. That leaves Dictionary results looking distinctive and sophisticated, even if you’d personally rather camp up your Wikipedia with Comic Sans or Marker Felt.
Links Everywhere
While Wikipedia is rife with links already, Dictionary makes every word hyperlinked, as it does throughout the standard dictionary and thesaurus. That means any word that gets clicked upon pulls up its definition, synonyms, and a new Wikipedia article (if one exists). This makes Dictionary an excellent resource for quickly spelunking around the English language, or in Japanese, or wading through one of the many other languages in Wikipedia.
While individual dictionary files in Tiger were just a big blob of a file saved under Library/Dictionaries, Leopard organizes them into exposed folders of graphics, xml, and css that suggest it would be simple to develop and distribute new specialized glossaries and reference works in other languages for use in Dictionary.
Will Dictionary eventually incorporate product manuals and Unix man pages the way NeXT’s Digital Librarian did? Will it open up the ability to tap into other online reference works in a manner similar to Wikipedia? There’s certainly room for growth, but Leopard’s Dictionary already delivers a lot of practical innovation in the rather sleepy corner of library reference works.
Parents might feel there’s too much information available in Dictionary 2.0; the new Parental Controls feature in System Preferences allows you to block access to profanity, which includes “slang or colorful expletives.” Dictionary’s help pages note that “terms are identified as inappropriate by the publisher of a source.”
Dictionary 2.0 gets in the last word for Mac OS X Leopard. So when will it make it to the iPhone?

For anyone who still uses AppleWorks (what can I say, it does everything that I need) and has lost the ability to use their custom user spelling library (you know, so it won’t flag “TigerKR” as a spelling error every time), fear not (much). I have found the simple solution. And it will reenable the “Learn” button in the “Spelling” dialogue box as well. Here’s how.
When AppleWorks is the active application, choose Edit -> Writing Tools -> Select Dictionaries from the menu. A Select Dictionaries window will appear. Click on the radio button for User Dictionary. Then below Currently Selected Dictionary, it will probably say something like ‘None.’ Click on Choose on the right of the window, and navigate to your MIA user dictionary, which is usually located at /Applications: AppleWorks 6: AppleWorks Essentials: Dictionaries: User Dictionary.
If you don’t have that file, you can create a new user dictionary by clicking . wait for it . wait . yep, click New. If that doesn’t fix the problem, you may want to check the permissions of said User Dictionary to make sure that you have read/write access to the file.

Thanks for a nice tip, now I have to Learn AW some../J
OK, this hint plain rocks! I had recently been forced to begin using Word because my Appleworks proggie no longer had a spell check dictionary that I could customize. Imagine my anguish when I realized one day that I would have to begin converting ALL my documents into Word formatting.
Having read this hint and sucessfully applied it, I must pat the author on the back for “randomly noodling around with a Mac”. I’m sure glad you found this out and then posted the solution here.
I’d like to add another small bit of info about Appleworks for those of you who still use it and have found this hint. Version 6.2.9 now supports scroll wheel mice! I found this out quite by accident while poking around in the members section on my iDisk and discovering the newer version just sitting there. It seems that Apple released a point fix that flew right under the RADAR.
I downloaded it, installed it, and now I won’t miss Word with its scroll wheel support and user dictionary because Appleworks works again!

This guide is about the How to Zip Files in Mac OS X. I will try my best so that you understand this guide very well. I hope you all like this guide How to Zip Files in Mac OS X.
Ever wondered how to create a zip file on Mac OS X? We recently showed how zip archives are password-protected, but in the comments, the reader posed a simpler but fully valid question: “What about just making a regular zip file?”
Well, creating a zip archive on a Mac is easy, and with compression tools built directly into Mac OS X, you don’t have to download new software or add-ons to quickly create zip files and compress a single file, a group of files. or the entire folder. If you are unfamiliar with creating zip files on a Mac, exactly how to do it and quickly.
Create a zip archive in Mac OS X.
This allows you to create zip files for files, folders, or both:
- Find items to pack in Mac Finder (file system)
- Right-click the file, folder, or files that you want to compress
- Click Compress Items
- Find the newly created .zip archive in the same directory
If a single file is compressed, the zip archive retains the name of the standard file, but adds a .zip extension.
If more than one file is compressed, the archive name is “Archive.zip” and if multiple archives are created, they are named sequentially “Archive 2.zip” and so on.
This works on all versions of Mac OS X, and you can use the compress item option by right-clicking, Control-clicking on the keyboard, or double-clicking the trackpad on a Mac.
Extracting Zip Archives
Opening zip files is even easier, all you have to do is do it double-click the archive and it automatically expands to the same folder where the archive is stored using the Archive Utility.
For example, if you extract an archive named ZippedSample.zip in the
/ Downloads / directory, the name of the resulting extracted folder would be “ZippedSample” in the same
How to Create a Zip Command Prompt on a Mac |
Not interested in using the standard Finder and file system? Zip archives can also be created from the command line using the terminal command ‘zip’ with the following syntax:
zip archive.zip file.txt
Another simple way to create an archive from the command line is to use terminal drag and drop support, type ‘zip’ as usual, but then drop into files to compress in the terminal window.
Unpacking from the command line is also very simple, with an easy ‘unpack’ command:
You can specify paths and other details if you are interested, but if all you want to do is extract the file, there is not much more to do than a simple extract command.
While it’s good to know the command line options, for most users, it’s best to serve more friendly Mac Finder-based approaches, either by right-clicking the one described above or by simply unpacking the file directly.

Since English is not my mother tongue I often find myself in need of a non-English dictionary on my Mac. After all these years I just find it stupid that Apple never provided other languages’ dictionaries on MacOSX.
Do you know a way to add a new language to the Dictionary app, maybe an Italian dictionary for example?
Thanks very much

Check How to Delete Learned Words From Android Keyboard
The default keyboard on your Android device learns and stores new words and adapts to your typing style. This allows you to recommend words as you type. However, the keyboard also picks up and stores misspelled words. You need to remove the learned words from your Android keyboard.
Google devices have an important option to remove learned words from the keyboard, but most other devices don’t do the same. Here are some details on how to do it on Google devices and one way it will work on Samsung and LG devices, and other brands of Android devices.
Delete words from Gboard
Gboard is one of the keyboards that most Andriod devices have by default. If you are using Gboard, removing saved words and word suggestions is pretty simple.
Method n. # 1: delete from keyboard
- Launch the keyboard by tapping the text field of any application.
- Once the keyboard opens, you can type the word you want to delete.
- You may be prompted for the word even before you finish writing it.
- Touch and hold the word in the text suggestion bar.
- You will see a trash can with “Delete suggestion” written above it.
- Slide the word to the trash can so that the word is removed from your keyboard.
After the suggestion is deleted, it will no longer appear as a suggestion as you type.
Method n. # 2: remove from personal dictionary
If you have added a word to your personal dictionary that you want to delete, you can access it in two ways.
# 1. Although the keyboard configuration
When your keyboard is open, you can press the settings icon on the bar above the keyboard.
This will take you to the keyboard settings.
# 2. Through device settings
If you want to access your personal dictionary without launching the keyboard, you must open your device settings.
- Scroll down and tap on System.
- In the System menu, go to Language & input.
- Tap on Virtual keyboard.
- Touch Gboard on the keyboard list.
- This will take you to the keyboard settings.
- In keyboard settings, tap Dictionary.
- Next, you need to open the Personal Dictionary.
- The languages you have set as the default will be shown to you.
- Touch the language dictionary you want to remove the word from.
- You will see the list of words saved in the dictionary.
By touching any word, you can edit or delete the word. To delete the word, you need to tap on the trash can icon in the upper right corner.
Method n. # 3: remove all learned words from Gboard
To remove all the words that Gboard has learned, you must erase all the data that you have saved.
You need to open the Gboard settings from the keyboard or from the device settings as explained above.
- Once you have the Gboard settings open, you need to tap on Advanced.
- Tap on “Delete learned words and data”.
- You will be asked to enter a number to confirm the deletion.
- Once the number is entered, all the learned words will be deleted.
Delete words from Samsung keyboard
Method n. # 1: delete all learned words
- Open the Settings app on your Samsung phone and navigate to General Management. Now, tap on Language & input.
- Tap on-screen keyboards.
- Now, select Samsung Keyboard from the keyboard list.
- Touch Reset to default settings.
- Touch Clear Custom Predictions.
- Touch Delete to confirm the action.
Method n. # 2: delete a specific word
Just like in Gboard, long press on the word you want to delete. A pop-up window will appear asking if you want to delete the word. Press “Accept” to confirm.
Remove words from SwiftKey
Microsoft Swiftkey is another keyboard that is available by default on most Android devices.
Method n. # 1: delete from keyboard
- Deleting a word from the text prediction bar is pretty simple.
- First, you need to start the keyboard by tapping a text field.
- Now start typing the word you want to delete.
- Once you detect the word, you can hold it down.
This will give you a dialog box asking if you want to delete the word so it won’t get predicted again.
If you press OK, the word will be removed from the text prediction.
Method n. # 2: remove all learned words from Swiftkey
If you want to delete all the learned words that the keyboard has picked up, you must first open the Swiftkey settings.
- For this, you can simply tap the Settings (Gear) icon on the Swiftkey keyboard. Another way to do this is to go to Device Settings> System> Language & input> Virtual keyboard> Microsoft Swiftkey keyboard.
- Once the keyboard settings screen is open, tap Typing.
- Scroll down and tap Clear typing data.
- A dialog box will ask if you want to continue.
- Press continue to delete all the words learned from the keyboard.

Most Mac applications use the operating system’s spell check feature, and share the same personal dictionary. So if you add a custom word to your dictionary in one application, other Mac apps won’t detect it as a typo in the future. But there’s no obvious way to remove a word from the dictionary if you accidentally add one.
大多数Mac应用程序使用操作系统的拼写检查功能,并共享同一个人词典。 因此,如果您在一个应用程序中将自定义单词添加到词典中,其他Mac应用程序将来就不会将其检测为错字。 但是,如果您不小心添加了一个单词,则没有明显的方法可以从字典中删除一个单词。
Some Mac applications–such as Microsoft Word and other Microsoft Office apps–use their own dictionary, so this doesn’t apply to them. However, many applications, even cross-platform ones like Google Chrome, use the Mac dictionary.
某些Mac应用程序(例如Microsoft Word和其他Microsoft Office应用程序)使用它们自己的词典,因此这不适用于它们。 但是,许多应用程序,甚至是跨平台的应用程序,例如Google Chrome,都使用Mac词典。
快速删除刚添加的单词 ( Quickly Remove a Word You Just Added )
If you just added a word to your dictionary, Mac OS X provides a quick way to remove it. However, applications need to actually implement the “remove a word” feature, and few do. it doesn’t matter which application you added the word from–assuming it added the word to the system dictionary, which most applications do, you can quickly remove it from TextEdit.
如果您只是在词典中添加了一个单词,Mac OS X提供了一种删除它的快速方法。 但是,应用程序实际上需要实现“删除单词”功能,而很少有。 不管是从哪个应用程序中添加单词,假设大多数应用程序都将单词添加到系统字典中,那么您可以快速将其从TextEdit中删除。
For example, let’s say you just accidentally added “teh” to your dictionary in Google Chrome for Mac instead of correcting it to “the.” Chrome and other Mac applications will no longer mark “teh” as a misspelled word.
例如,假设您只是在Mac的Google Chrome浏览器中不小心将“ teh”添加到了词典中,而不是将其更正为“ the”。 Chrome和其他Mac应用程序将不再将“ teh”标记为拼写错误的单词。
To quickly fix this, you’ll need to open the TextEdit application. To do so, press Command+Space to open Spotlight search, type “TextEdit”, and press Enter. You can also open the Finder, select “Applications,” and double-click “TextEdit.”
为了快速解决此问题,您需要打开TextEdit应用程序。 为此,请按Command + Space打开Spotlight搜索 ,键入“ TextEdit”,然后按Enter。 您也可以打开Finder,选择“应用程序”,然后双击“ TextEdit”。
Create a new document in TextEdit by clicking the “New Document” button.
Type the misspelling into TextEdit, or copy and paste it from the other application. You can then Ctrl-click or right-click the misspelled word. Click the “Unlearn spelling” option to remove the misspelled word from your personal dictionary.
在TextEdit中键入拼写错误,或从其他应用程序复制并粘贴它。 然后,您可以Ctrl键单击或右键单击拼写错误的单词。 单击“取消学习拼写”选项,从您的个人词典中删除拼写错误的单词。
Close TextEdit afterwards and click “Delete” when you’re asked to save your modified document. You don’t need to save the empty document you created.
This would be more convenient if other Mac applications also provided this feature. It was added to TextEdit in Mac OS X 10.7, and other applications can choose to offer this feature. However, many Mac applications, including Google Chrome, haven’t bothered implementing the “Unlearn Spelling” option.
如果其他Mac应用程序也提供此功能,则将更加方便。 它已添加到Mac OS X 10.7中的TextEdit中,其他应用程序可以选择提供此功能。 但是,许多Mac应用程序,包括Google Chrome,都没有费心实现“ Unlearn Spelling”选项。
You’ll need to head to TextEdit if you ever accidentally add a word to your dictionary in many other Mac applications. If you right-click or Ctrl-click a word and don’t see “Unlearn Spelling,” visit TextEdit.
查看和编辑您的自定义单词列表 ( View and Edit Your Custom Word List )
Let’s say you accidentally added one or more misspelled words and you aren’t sure exactly what they are. Or, you may have accidentally added words in the past and don’t remember all of them. Unfortunately, Mac OS X doesn’t provide a preferences pane for managing your custom dictionary. However, this information is stored in a text file you can easily edit yourself.
假设您不小心添加了一个或多个拼写错误的单词,但不确定它们的确切含义。 或者,您可能在过去不小心添加了单词,并且不记得所有单词。 不幸的是,Mac OS X没有提供用于管理自定义词典的首选项窗格。 但是,此信息存储在文本文件中,您可以轻松地自行编辑。
First, you’ll need to find this file. It’s located under the normally hidden Library folder, and is different for each user. To get there, launch a Finder window. Click the “Go” menu and select “Go to Folder.”
首先,您需要找到此文件。 它位于通常隐藏的“库”文件夹下,并且对于每个用户而言都不同。 要到达那里,请启动Finder窗口。 点击“转到”菜单,然后选择“转到文件夹”。
Enter the following address and click the “Go” button:
This will take you to the /Users/USERNAME/Library/Spelling folder.
这会将您带到/ Users / USERNAME / Library / Spelling文件夹。
You’ll see a “LocalDictionary” file here. Open it in TextEdit by Ctrl-clicking or right-clicking it, pointing to “Open With,” and selecting “TextEdit.”
您会在这里看到一个“ LocalDictionary”文件。 按住Ctrl或右键单击它,在TextEdit中打开它,指向“打开方式”,然后选择“ TextEdit”。
You’ll see a list of words here. If you’ve never added any custom words to your local dictionary, you’ll just see an empty file. Every word appears on its own line.
您将在此处看到单词列表。 如果您从未向本地词典中添加任何自定义单词,那么您只会看到一个空文件。 每个单词都显示在自己的行上。
To remove words from your dictionary, just delete them from the list here. You can delete the entire list to clear your entire dictionary, or delete specific words to remove them. Ensure any words left in the file appear on their own lines.
要从字典中删除单词,只需从此处的列表中删除它们即可。 您可以删除整个列表以清除整个词典,或删除特定的单词以将其删除。 确保文件中剩下的所有单词都显示在自己的行上。
When you’re done, click the “File” menu and select “Save.” You can then close TextEdit.
Again, this will only work with apps that use the system-wide spell check dictionary, which most Mac applications use. Luckily, if an application uses its own built-in dictionary–like Microsoft’s Office applications do–that application should have built-in options for managing its dictionary in its Preferences screen.
For example, in Word 2016 for Mac, you can head to File > Options > Proofing > Custom Dictionaries and click “Edit Word List” to edit your custom dictionary.

Check How to Delete Learned Words From Android Keyboard
The default keyboard on your Android device learns and stores new words and adapts to your typing style. This allows you to recommend words as you type. However, the keyboard also picks up and stores misspelled words. You need to remove the learned words from your Android keyboard.
Google devices have an important option to remove learned words from the keyboard, but most other devices don’t do the same. Here are some details on how to do it on Google devices and one way it will work on Samsung and LG devices, and other brands of Android devices.
Delete words from Gboard
Gboard is one of the keyboards that most Andriod devices have by default. If you are using Gboard, removing saved words and word suggestions is pretty simple.
Method n. # 1: delete from keyboard
- Launch the keyboard by tapping the text field of any application.
- Once the keyboard opens, you can type the word you want to delete.
- You may be prompted for the word even before you finish writing it.
- Touch and hold the word in the text suggestion bar.
- You will see a trash can with “Delete suggestion” written above it.
- Slide the word to the trash can so that the word is removed from your keyboard.
After the suggestion is deleted, it will no longer appear as a suggestion as you type.
Method n. # 2: remove from personal dictionary
If you have added a word to your personal dictionary that you want to delete, you can access it in two ways.
# 1. Although the keyboard configuration
When your keyboard is open, you can press the settings icon on the bar above the keyboard.
This will take you to the keyboard settings.
# 2. Through device settings
If you want to access your personal dictionary without launching the keyboard, you must open your device settings.
- Scroll down and tap on System.
- In the System menu, go to Language & input.
- Tap on Virtual keyboard.
- Touch Gboard on the keyboard list.
- This will take you to the keyboard settings.
- In keyboard settings, tap Dictionary.
- Next, you need to open the Personal Dictionary.
- The languages you have set as the default will be shown to you.
- Touch the language dictionary you want to remove the word from.
- You will see the list of words saved in the dictionary.
By touching any word, you can edit or delete the word. To delete the word, you need to tap on the trash can icon in the upper right corner.
Method n. # 3: remove all learned words from Gboard
To remove all the words that Gboard has learned, you must erase all the data that you have saved.
You need to open the Gboard settings from the keyboard or from the device settings as explained above.
- Once you have the Gboard settings open, you need to tap on Advanced.
- Tap on “Delete learned words and data”.
- You will be asked to enter a number to confirm the deletion.
- Once the number is entered, all the learned words will be deleted.
Delete words from Samsung keyboard
Method n. # 1: delete all learned words
- Open the Settings app on your Samsung phone and navigate to General Management. Now, tap on Language & input.
- Tap on-screen keyboards.
- Now, select Samsung Keyboard from the keyboard list.
- Touch Reset to default settings.
- Touch Clear Custom Predictions.
- Touch Delete to confirm the action.
Method n. # 2: delete a specific word
Just like in Gboard, long press on the word you want to delete. A pop-up window will appear asking if you want to delete the word. Press “Accept” to confirm.
Remove words from SwiftKey
Microsoft Swiftkey is another keyboard that is available by default on most Android devices.
Method n. # 1: delete from keyboard
- Deleting a word from the text prediction bar is pretty simple.
- First, you need to start the keyboard by tapping a text field.
- Now start typing the word you want to delete.
- Once you detect the word, you can hold it down.
This will give you a dialog box asking if you want to delete the word so it won’t get predicted again.
If you press OK, the word will be removed from the text prediction.
Method n. # 2: remove all learned words from Swiftkey
If you want to delete all the learned words that the keyboard has picked up, you must first open the Swiftkey settings.
- For this, you can simply tap the Settings (Gear) icon on the Swiftkey keyboard. Another way to do this is to go to Device Settings> System> Language & input> Virtual keyboard> Microsoft Swiftkey keyboard.
- Once the keyboard settings screen is open, tap Typing.
- Scroll down and tap Clear typing data.
- A dialog box will ask if you want to continue.
- Press continue to delete all the words learned from the keyboard.

Većina Mac aplikacija koristi značajku provjere pravopisa operacijskog sustava i dijele isti osobni rječnik. Dakle, ako dodajete prilagođenu riječ u svoj rječnik u jednoj aplikaciji, druge Macove aplikacije neće je kasnije otkriti kao pogrešku u unosu. Ali ne postoji očigledan način uklanjanja riječi iz rječnika ako je slučajno dodate.
Neke Mac aplikacije – kao što su Microsoft Word i druge Microsoft Office aplikacije – koriste vlastiti rječnik, tako da se to ne odnosi na njih. Međutim, mnoge aplikacije, čak i one s više platformi kao što je Google Chrome, koriste Mac rječnik.
Brzo uklonite riječ koju ste upravo dodali
Ako ste upravo dodali riječ u svoj rječnik, Mac OS X pruža brzi način da je uklonite. Međutim, aplikacije moraju zapravo implementirati značajku “ukloni riječ”, a malo ih je. nije važno s koje ste aplikacije dodali riječ – pod uvjetom da je dodala riječ u rječnik sustava, što većina aplikacija radi, možete je brzo ukloniti iz TextEdit-a.
Na primjer, recimo da ste slučajno dodali “teh” u svoj rječnik u pregledniku Google Chrome za Mac umjesto da ga ispravite u “.” Chrome i druge Mac aplikacije više neće označavati “teh” kao pogrešno napisanu riječ.
Da biste to brzo riješili, morat ćete otvoriti aplikaciju TextEdit. Da biste to učinili, pritisnite Command + Space da biste otvorili pretraživanje Spotlight, upišite “TextEdit” i pritisnite Enter. Također možete otvoriti Finder, odabrati “Applications” i dvaput kliknuti na “TextEdit”.
Stvorite novi dokument u TextEdit klikom na gumb “Novi dokument”.
Upišite pogrešno napisanu riječ u TextEdit ili je kopirajte i zalijepite iz druge aplikacije. Zatim možete pritisnuti Ctrl ili kliknuti desnom tipkom miša na pogrešno napisanu riječ. Kliknite opciju “Oslobodi pravopis” da biste uklonili pogrešno napisanu riječ iz osobnog rječnika.
Zatim zatvorite TextEdit i kliknite “Izbriši” kada se od vas zatraži da spremite izmijenjeni dokument. Ne morate spremiti prazni dokument koji ste stvorili.
To bi bilo prikladnije ako su i druge Mac aplikacije omogućile tu značajku. Dodan je u TextEdit u sustavu Mac OS X 10.7, a druge aplikacije mogu ponuditi ovu značajku. Međutim, mnoge Mac aplikacije, uključujući Google Chrome, nisu se potrudile implementirati opciju “Unlearn Spelling”.
Morat ćete otići u TextEdit ako ste slučajno dodali riječ u svoj rječnik u mnogim drugim Mac aplikacijama. Ako desnom tipkom miša kliknete ili kliknete neku riječ i ne vidite “Otvori pravopis”, posjetite TextEdit.
Pogledajte i uredite svoj popis riječi
Recimo da ste slučajno dodali jednu ili više pogrešno napisanih riječi i niste sigurni što su točno. Ili ste možda slučajno dodali riječi u prošlosti i ne sjećate se svih njih. Nažalost, Mac OS X ne nudi okno s postavkama za upravljanje prilagođenim rječnikom. Međutim, te se informacije pohranjuju u tekstualnu datoteku koju možete sami uređivati.
Prvo ćete morati pronaći ovu datoteku. Nalazi se ispod normalno skrivene mape biblioteke i razlikuje se za svakog korisnika. Da biste tamo stigli, pokrenite prozor Findera. Kliknite izbornik “Go” i odaberite “Go to Folder”.
Unesite sljedeću adresu i kliknite gumb “Idi”:
To će vas odvesti u mapu / Users / USERNAME / Library / Spelling.
Ovdje ćete vidjeti datoteku “LocalDictionary”. Otvorite ga u TextEdit pomoću Ctrl-klikom ili desnim klikom na njega, pokazujući na “Open With” i odabirom “TextEdit”.
Ovdje ćete vidjeti popis riječi. Ako u lokalni rječnik nikad niste dodali nikakve prilagođene riječi, vidjet ćete praznu datoteku. Svaka riječ pojavljuje se na vlastitoj liniji.
Da biste uklonili riječi iz rječnika, samo ih izbrišite s popisa ovdje. Možete izbrisati cijeli popis kako biste izbrisali cijeli rječnik ili izbrisali određene riječi da biste ih uklonili. Provjerite pojavljuju li se sve riječi u datoteci na njihovim vlastitim linijama.
Kada završite, kliknite izbornik “Datoteka” i odaberite “Spremi”. Zatim možete zatvoriti TextEdit.
Opet, to će raditi samo s aplikacijama koje koriste rječnike za provjeru pravopisa na razini cijelog sustava koje koristi većina Mac aplikacija. Srećom, ako aplikacija koristi vlastiti ugrađeni rječnik – kao što je to slučaj s Microsoftovim Officeovim aplikacijama – ta aplikacija mora imati ugrađene opcije za upravljanje svojim rječnikom na zaslonu Postavke.
Na primjer, u programu Word 2016 za Mac možete otići u Datoteka> Opcije> Provjera> Prilagođeni rječnici i kliknite “Uredi popis riječi” da biste uredili prilagođeni rječnik.
Arguably one of the strongest skills one can have is being multilingual because it can definitely take you places. So if you are one of those people who has this skill or want to be multilingual, there are many ways to do so. One of those ways is to add different languages on your cell phone’s language app or keypad.
Because if you aren’t quite familiar with or fluent in the new added language, adding it on the keypad is an excellent way to learn. For example, your Mac’s Dictionary app (the inbuilt one) that lets you add multiple languages on the platform. Also, to make things easier for users, these languages can be added within the Mac Dictionary app itself. Isn’t this great!!
What Do You Mean By The Mac Dictionary App?
Mac Dictionary app is one of the most helpful apps you have on your Mac that lets you add new languages. & before you start adding new languages to the Mac Dictionary app, please know that it doesn’t work like other apps where it starts helping you with spell checks. For example, Microsoft has its own dictionary, other platforms rely on the operating system’s default spell check tool or other third party apps.
Plus, Mac Dictionary app can be accessed for reference only like Thesaurus but not as a proper dictionary. Since the Mac Dictionary app is an inbuilt tool you can with your Mac, you don’t have to look around for downloading & installing the same. All you have to do is, press Cmd & Space on your Mac’s keypad & type in, Dictionary. Press ENTER or if it will directly show the dictionary app on the Mac, thanks to Spotlight.
Like other tools or apps, you cannot find anything & everything in one place. So in case you are trying to find something very rare & specific, you need to go manual & install the supporting files. Or else the languages that are most spoken or quite common, those can be downloaded within the app easily:
Here’s How to Add Languages in a Mac Dictionary App?
Now that we know Mac Dictionary app isn’t a dictionary altogether, however, it works as a translator for you. Also, please know that according to your geographical location, you will have about 30 languages in your Mac Dictionary app that aren’t enabled yet. & obviously, enabling the already-installed languages is much easier than downloading the languages.
1. So launch the Mac Dictionary app on your device (Cmd + Space & type Dictionary) & once it launches successfully, tap on All tab (top left side of the screen).
2. Doing so will show you the list of all the languages that are already installed on your Mac Dictionary app.
3. Since these languages are already installed, you will see dictionary tabs for each pre-installed language so that you can work with that language specifically.
4. In order to download or add more languages to the Mac Dictionary app, you need to navigate yourself to Preferences under Dictionary.
5. Once you are on the page, there will be as many dictionaries as you can scroll so you need to click on one that you want to install on the Mac Dictionary app. & that’s it!!
6. Yeah!! After checking the specific dictionary & following the process, you will successfully add more languages to the Dictionary app in the easiest ways possible.
What If You Don’t Find The Language You Wish to Add?
There will be incidents where you won’t be able to find the language you wish to add on the Mac Dictionary app, that’s when you need to look for 3rd party dictionary options.
Since the Mac Dictionary only reads DICT types of files, it’s very important to download only the same type so it can be readable. Or else if you aren’t able to find the DICT file, you will have to convert the same into a DICT file.
If you wish to find the DICT file to add more languages on the Mac Dictionary app, visit the dicts.info webpage on your device & start downloading the desired languages for FREE.
- Post downloading the DICT file on your Mac, all you need to do is drag & drop the downloaded file onto the Mac Dictionary app’s homepage.
- Doing so will trigger the process & the new language dictionary will be available on the app.
- If not, try to close & relaunch the Mac Dictionary app & you will have yourself the new language dictionary.
Wrapping Up
Mac Dictionary app isn’t an app that can be used to correct the spell mistakes, but an extremely helpful tool for your device. You have the liberty to add as many languages as you want to the app & get a better hold onto the new languages. Just launch the Mac Dictionary app & you don’t need to look for the translations online again because it works as a translator as well. Isn’t this great!! The pre-installed app on your Mac is offering you so much & let you get familiar with new languages.

Večina Mac aplikacij uporablja funkcijo za preverjanje črkovanja operacijskega sistema in deli isti osebni slovar. Če v slovarju dodate besedo po meri v eni aplikaciji, jo druge aplikacije Mac v prihodnosti ne bodo zaznale kot tipkarska napaka. Vendar pa ni očitnega načina, da bi iz besedila odstranili besedo, če jo pomotoma dodate.
Nekatere aplikacije Mac, kot sta Microsoft Word in druge aplikacije Microsoft Officea, uporabljajo svoj slovar, tako da zanje ne velja. Vendar pa veliko aplikacij, tudi tistih, ki so med platformami, kot je Google Chrome, uporabljajo slovar Mac.
Hitro odstranite besedo, ki ste jo pravkar dodali
Če ste pravkar dodali besedo v svoj slovar, vam Mac OS X omogoča hiter odstranitev. Vendar morajo aplikacije dejansko izvajati funkcijo »odstraniti besedo« in le malo jih je. ni pomembno, iz katere aplikacije ste dodali besedo – ob predpostavki, da je dodala besedo v sistemski slovar, kar večina aplikacij počne, ga lahko hitro odstranite iz TextEdit.
Recimo, da ste v svoj slovar v brskalniku Google Chrome za slučajno dodali »teh«, namesto da bi ga popravili na ».«
Če želite to hitro odpraviti, morate odpreti aplikacijo TextEdit. To naredite tako, da pritisnete Command + Space, da odprete iskanje Spotlight, vnesite »TextEdit« in pritisnite Enter. Prav tako lahko odprete Finder, izberete »Aplikacije« in dvokliknete »TextEdit«.
Ustvarite nov dokument v programu TextEdit s klikom na gumb »Nov dokument«.
Vnesite napačno črkovanje v TextEdit ali jo kopirajte in prilepite iz druge aplikacije. Nato lahko kliknete Ctrl ali pa z desno miškino tipko kliknete napačno črkovano besedo. Če želite odstraniti napačno črkovano besedo iz svojega osebnega slovarja, kliknite možnost »Neuveljavitev črkovanja«.
Zatem zaprite TextEdit in kliknite »Izbriši«, ko boste morali shraniti spremenjeni dokument. Praznega dokumenta, ki ste ga ustvarili, ni treba shraniti.
To bi bilo bolj priročno, če bi druge funkcije Mac nudile tudi to funkcijo. Dodan je bil v program TextEdit v operacijskem sistemu Mac OS X 10.7, druge aplikacije pa se lahko odločijo za to funkcijo. Vendar pa veliko aplikacij za Mac, vključno z brskalnikom Google Chrome, ni imelo težav pri izvajanju možnosti »Unlearn Spelling«.
Boste morali glavo, da TextEdit, če ste kdaj pomotoma dodali besedo v svoj slovar v mnogih drugih aplikacijah Mac. Če z desno miškino tipko kliknete na besedo ali ne kliknete »Ctrl« in ne vidite »Unlearn Spelling«, obiščite TextEdit.
Ogled in urejanje seznama besed po meri
Recimo, da ste pomotoma dodali eno ali več napačno črkovanih besed in niste prepričani, kaj so. Morda ste v preteklosti pomotoma dodali besede in se ne spomnite vseh. Na žalost Mac OS X ne nudi podokna z nastavitvami za upravljanje vašega slovarja po meri. Vendar so te informacije shranjene v besedilni datoteki, ki jo lahko sami urejate.
Najprej boste morali najti to datoteko. Nahaja se pod običajno skrito mapo v knjižnici in je različna za vsakega uporabnika. Če želite doseči, odprite okno Finder. Kliknite meni »Pojdi« in izberite »Pojdi v mapo«.
Vnesite naslednji naslov in kliknite gumb »Pojdi«:
To vas bo pripeljalo do mape / Users / USERNAME / Library / Spelling.
Tukaj boste videli datoteko »LocalDictionary«. Odprite ga v programu TextEdit tako, da kliknete Ctrl ali ga kliknete z desno tipko miške, pokažete na »Open With« in izberete »TextEdit«.
Tukaj boste videli seznam besed. Če v lokalni slovar še niste dodali nobenih besed po meri, boste videli samo prazno datoteko. Vsaka beseda se pojavi v svoji vrstici.
Če želite odstraniti besede iz slovarja, jih izbrišite s seznama. Celoten seznam lahko izbrišete, da izbrišete celoten slovar ali izbrišete določene besede, da jih odstranite. Poskrbite, da bodo vse besede, ki ostanejo v datoteki, prikazane na lastnih linijah.
Ko končate, kliknite meni »Datoteka« in izberite »Shrani«.
Tudi to bo delalo samo z aplikacijami, ki uporabljajo sistemski slovar za preverjanje črkovanja, ki ga uporablja večina Mac aplikacij. Na srečo, če aplikacija uporablja lasten vgrajen slovar – kot so Microsoftovi programi Office – mora imeti aplikacija vgrajene možnosti za upravljanje s svojim slovarjem na zaslonu Preference.
V programu Word 2016 za Mac lahko na primer odprete datoteko> Možnosti> Preverjanje> Slovarji po meri in kliknete »Uredi seznam besed«, da uredite slovar po meri.

There will be incidents where you won’t be able to find the language you wish to add on the Mac Dictionary app, that’s when you need to look for 3rd party dictionary options.
Since the Mac Dictionary only reads DICT types of files, it’s very important to download only the same type so it can be readable. Or else if you aren’t able to find the DICT file, you will have to convert the same into a DICT file.
If you wish to find the DICT file to add more languages on the Mac Dictionary app, visit the dicts.info webpage on your device & start downloading the desired languages for FREE.
- Post downloading the DICT file on your Mac, all you need to do is drag & drop the downloaded file onto the Mac Dictionary app’s homepage.
- Doing so will trigger the process & the new language dictionary will be available on the app.
- If not, try to close & relaunch the Mac Dictionary app & you will have yourself the new language dictionary.
