I installed the universal (intel) version of cocoAspell on my MacBook Pro five minutes ago. Works fine with the Danish version 5 dictionary and Adium and Apple Mail so far.
A nice surprise on a sunday.
It would be cool if Anton had RSS feed or newsletter email on cocoAspell (cocoaspell.leuski.net). I do not fancy MacUpdate that much. Too much junk and paid subscription.
cocoAspell going binary was the only thing left unchecked on my “stuff i used on my XP and cant live without”
cocoAspell does the trick. This sure is good news my friend
I have tried to install cocoAspell on a Macbook Pro as well. But I can\’t get it working. What did you do? What version of the dictionary do you use?
Would really appriciate any advice you may have

I downloaded the cocoAspell 2.0.4 for Intel at the frontpage of cocoaspell.leuski.net and then I grabbed the Danish dictionary from here http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/dict/da/aspell5-da-1.4.42-1.tar.bz2
I unpacked aspell5-da-1.4.42-1.tar.bz2 and moved the dictionary to /Library/Application Support/cocoAspell/aspell5-da-1.4.42-1.
Then I opened the cocoAspell pane in System Preferences. You may have to hit the box in front of the Danish to get a check-mark on the list in there.
Afterwards in Apple Mail or Adium I just right-click any chunk of text and use the Spelling submenu to change language as needed.
Ahh bingo! By accident I placed the danish dictionary folder inside the english one… But now it works like a charm! Thx a mill!
i know this is an ooold post, but how would i do this today ? where would the link be ? – thanx a trillion
If you are using OS X 10.5 Leopard, there is a Danish dictionary built-in.
cocoaspell.leuski.net is still up and running. I guess you will need to go there.
