Jèrriais spellchecker

 

Download a free Jèrriais spellchecker for MS Word. The spellchecker file contains over 103,000 words and conjugations compiled mostly from the Dictionnaire Jersiais-Français, Dictionnaithe Jèrriais-Angliais, new words approved by L'Académie du Jèrriais, and historic published texts by George de la Forge and Dr. Frank Le Maistre. The vocabulary is not exhaustive and does not provide all possible grammatical or dialectal forms for every word, but should at least help with writing basic Jèrriais. N.B. There may be some errors in the spellchecker file - please help us to improve the spellchecker by reporting any mistakes.

Coumme tchi înstaller l'corrigeux d'êcrithie en Jèrriais en Firefox? Ch'n'est pon bein sîmpl'ye mais ch'n'est pon trop complyitchi nitout.

S'ous avez un corrigeux d'êcrithie dêjà înstallé en Firefox:

S'ou faites sèrvi un corrigeux d'êcrithie en Angliais ou Français en Firefox, et s'ous y'avez ajouôté des mots au dictionnaithe, y'étha tchique bord dans un dôssyi "User" un dotchûment tch'a nom persdict.dat (ch'est l'dictionnaithe pèrsonnalîsé). Chu dotchûment est tout sîmpliément eune liste dé mots en format d'texte que nou peut éditer atout un éditeu d'texte (Wordpad, ofûche). Împortant: i' faut freunmer Firefox d'vant d'éditer persdict.dat! S'ous avez dêjà jerriais.dic înstallé pouor Word/Office, ouvriz jerriais.dic atout un éditeu d'texte et copiez et cliutez la liste des mots en persdict.dat et saûvez-lé.

S'ou n'avez pon un corrigeux d'êcrithie dêjà înstallé en Firefox:

Înstallez un corrigeux d'êcrithie: Tools > Options > Advanced > et ch'est d'chouaîsi "Check my spelling as I type"; Tools > Add-ons > et ch'est d'înstaller un dictionnaithe. Quand ous éthez fait sèrvi l'corrigeux d'êcrithie en autcheune langue et qu'ous éthez freunmé Firefox, Firefox étha grée un dotchûment persdict.dat tchique bord dans un dôssyi "User", épis i' faut copier et cliuter lé cont'nu d'jerriais.dic en persdict.dat coumme susdit.

Here are some instructions about how to install the Jèrriais spellchecker in Firefox. It's not exactly straightforward but doesn't require any technical knowledge.

If you already use a spellchecker in Firefox:

If you already have a spellchecker for, say, English or French installed for Firefox, and if you've added some words to the dictionary (i.e. marked them correct when a squiggly line is shown), then there'll be somewhere in a "User" folder a file called persdict.dat (that's the personalised dictionary file). This file is simply a text document, a list of words, that can be edited with a text editor (such as Wordpad). Important: Firefox must be shut down before attempting to edit persdict.dat! (Otherwise any changes won't be saved) If you've already downloaded jerriais.dic and installed it for Word/Office, open jerriais.dic with a text editor and copy and paste the list of words into persdict.dat and save.

If you don't already use a spellchecker in Firefox:

Install spellchecker: In Firefox, Tools > Options > Advanced > and select "Check my spelling as I type"; then Tools > Add-ons > and select and install a dictionary file of your choice. Once you've used Firefox's spellchecker in any language and closed Firefox, there'll be a persdict.dat file created somewhere in a "User" folder. You can then add the contents of jerriais.dic to this persdict.dat file by copying and pasting as described above.

 

Here are some instructions for adding the spellchecker dictionary to a MacBook (this will only work for Pages, Mail etc and not external apps eg Word):  

  • Download jerriais.dic (spellchecker dictionary file)
  • Open Finder > Go > Go to folder...
  • then type (or copy/paste) ~/library/spelling
  • open the file LocalDictionary (if it doesn't open automatically use 'open with' TextEdit)
  • open Jerriais.dic (if it doesn't open automatically use 'open with' TextEdit)
  • copy and paste all the words from Jerriais.dic into your Local Dictionary
