You can use the spell-check of your browser when you use the Cloud Translation Environment.
You need to configure the spell-check of your Windows 10 or your browser to set it to use the target language of your translation or review task. Unlike for previous Windows versions, in Windows 10 the spell check and auto-correct functionality is set on in the Windows Settings.
Below you can find separate instructions on configuring spell-check (and auto-correct) for Windows 10.
You configure your browser spell-check a bit differently in each browser in Windows 8 and earlier Windows versions.
The instructions below are meant to help you to configure spell-check for the four browsers supported by the Cloud Translation Environment.
Note: The instructions below display screenshots from Windows environment. Although the general way of performing these tasks is similar also in Mac OS X and Linux, some of the button texts and commands of the browsers may differ.
Spell-checking in Windows 10 allows you to identify misspelled words while they are entering text, have commonly misspelled words fixed automatically, and take corrective action on others. Unlike previous Windows versions, Windows 10 inbuilt spell check and auto-correct functionality is configured in the Windows Settings. Turning these features ON at the system level makes them available in all software across the operating system, including browsers.
Configure the spell check and the auto-correct features by doing the following:
1. In the Start menu, open Settings > Devices.
2. Select Typing.
3. In the Typing view, set Autocorrect misspelled words ON (if you find it useful).
4. In the Typing view, set Highlight misspelled words ON.
5. Close the Settings dialog.
Windows now highlights (and auto-corrects) misspelled words for texts in languages you have installed a language package to Windows 10.
Spell-checking in Windows 8 allows you to identify misspelled words while they are entering text, have commonly misspelled words fixed automatically, and take corrective action on others. In Windows 8, spell-checking support is available to applications across the entire operating system, including Internet Explorer 10.
Spell-checking is also available as an IE10 browser feature on all supported versions of Windows, including Windows 7.
