Installing dictionaries for different languages in FM7.0 for Windows

Report · Mar 26, 2008

Hi there,

I'm wondering how it's possible to install the dictionaries for different languages in FM 7.0. I installed it about a month ago and now I only have te languages US English and UK English in my Paragraph Designer. I know from my previous work that it is possible to have a lot more languages over there. When I look in the manual that's delivered together with the software, it says that:
"The FrameMaker CD contains dictionaries for all supported languages. However, the default Windows and Mac OS installation contains only one dictionary in a single language."

That's great, but when I re-enter the CD, I cannot find the other dictionaries anywhere.
Can someone please help me how to fix this? It's really important for handling files in different (european) languages, e.g. for the hyphenation.

Thanks a lot!

1. Start the FM 7.0 installation from the CD.
2. Work your way to the Setup screen and select "Custom" installation.
3. Select only the "Dictionaries" components (i.e. uncheck the other
components) and click on the "Change" button.
4. This will pop-up the available "sub-components", i.e. the
dictionaries.
5. Select the ones you want and click on the "Continue" button and
then the "Next" button to install only the new dictionaries.
