Installing spell checker dictionaries
By default, Network Inventory checks spelling in American English by using the predefined dictionary. If you want Network Inventory to check spelling in other languages, you should add custom spell checker dictionaries for these languages. Once a custom spell checker dictionary is added, it becomes listed in the Dictionaries section on the Spell Checking tab of the Options window (Tools > Options) and is used for checking spelling in the text fields.
Network Inventory supports spell checker dictionaries in the OpenOffice.org 2.x format. Each such dictionary consists of two files that have the same name and differ in file extensions: a .dic file, containing a list of words, and an .aff file, containing grammar rules. For example: ge_Ge.dic and ge_Ge.aff.
Starting from version 3.x, OpenOffice provides spell checking dictionaries as Extensions. You can download Extensions for required languages from the Extensions - OpenOffice.org page: https://extensions.openoffice.org/. Then you need to extract .dic and .aff files from the Extension (an .oxt file is used as a .zip archive).
