spell check German (from Firefox) for PaleMoon (for XP)

Unread post by visionhelp » 2018-02-02, 15:13

Hi,

the spell check german language-pack from Firefox: which version works for PaleMoon (for XP) and how to install it, or where to copy to, please?

Or better: an other spell check language-pack, not from Firefox. The Firefox spell-check versions are depending on the different versions of Firefox, so, not down-compatible.
This does a check in Pale Moon to the version of Firefox, which is installed.

Thank You.

I don't know what Fedor2 meant (spell checker has nothing to do with language packs), but all you need is to install the required dictionary from AMO.

Thanks to both.

The download of the newest version at http://addons.palemoon.org/language-packs/ does not work to download (the browser NewMoon says, sorry Fedor2):
"This add-on could not be downloaded because its origin could not be verified."

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/language-tools/ the german dictionary is not to download, only to ADD, but to Firefox.
And as I found from a fast view - here in the board -, the spell-checkers from Firefox ´all´ do not work properly in PaleMoon.
