I installed Mathematica International Dictionaries to $PreferencesDirectory, but Mathematica 4.1.5 cannot find the dictionaries. How do I make Mathematica 4.1.5 find the dictionaries?
 You need to change the "SpellingDictionariesPath" setting in order for Mathematica 4.1.5 to find the dictionaries. | 1. | Launch Mathematica and select the menu item. |
| 2. | Type SpellingDictionariesPath in the lookup field and press the button. |
| 3. | Click the button to the right of the "SpellingDictionariesPath" entry. |
| 4. | Click the button in the dialog box that appears and paste the following text into the dialog box. |
| | FrontEnd`FileName[{$PreferencesDirectory, _, "SpellingDictionaries"},CharacterEncoding -> "MacintoshRoman"] |
| 5. | Click and click again to dismiss the dialog boxes. |
| 6. | Close the “Options” dialog box and restart the Mathematica front end. |
You will now be able to use the Mathematica International Dictionaries. The menu is in the menu. Download this FAQ as a Mathematica 5.2 Notebook
