Other installation options

Install multiple languages

To install multiple languages you download and install separate language files (so-called zhfst files).

NB!
The receipt below does not apply for the MS Office proofing tools. For those, you install the complete proofing tool for every language.
  1. Download one or more zhfst files:
    Language:  Version:  Documentation and source code:
    Download North Sámi  4.0  Project documentation and source code.
    Download Julev Sámi  4.0  Project documentation and source code.
    Download South Sámi  4.0  Project documentation and source code.
  2. Move the downloaded zhfst file(s) to one of the directories searched by the spellers:
    • Windows: <User>\AppData\Local\voikko\3
      (≤ Windows 7: C:\Documents and Settings\<User>\Local Settings\Application Data\voikko\3)
    • OSX: ~/Library/Spelling/voikko/3
    • Linux: ~/.voikko/3
    More possible locations are listed here. Look for the heading «Search order for dictionary files». Remember to always put the .zhfst files in a directory named «3» within those directories mentioned on that page.
  3. Log out and log back in

If you need other languages than the Sámi ones, you can find more on divvun.org.
