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 Edit > Preferences menu item.

2.

Type SpellingDictionariesPath in the lookup field and press the Lookup button.

3.

Click the button to the right of the "SpellingDictionariesPath" entry.

4.

Click the Add button in the dialog box that appears and paste the following text into the dialog box.

 

FrontEnd`FileName[{$PreferencesDirectory, _, "SpellingDictionaries"},CharacterEncoding -> "MacintoshRoman"]

5.

Click OK and click OK 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 Spelling Language menu is in the Format menu.
