How to add a Haitian Creole dictionary to InDesign?

Hello all;

At HistoryMiami Museum, we produce a lot of material in the three most spoken languages in our community, English, Spanish and Haitian Creole, following the Miami-Dade County government best practices. InDesign has already incorporated dictionaries in English and Spanish. We are looking for a comprehensive Haitian Creole dictionary to add to InDesign, for spellcheck purposes. We would appreciate any help with this matter. Thank you.

 

Thank you,

Lead Creative, HistoryMiami Museum

Hello;

Thank you for the answer. I understand I can add dictionaries to InDesign, but I will need the actual file to add. I don't currently have a Haitian Creole dictionary. Could you please let me know what kind of files extension is needed to add a dictionary to InDesign? That way I might reach to the community and see if someone can prepare that dictionary for me to add to my InDesign.

Thank you
