If you have Word, and it has a spell checker for your language, it is always recommended to use the Microsoft Word setting.For example, it is possible to use Hunspell for the underlines, and Word for the Spell checking window, although this is not recommended. You need to choose a spell checker separately for the two methods.įor both the underlines and the Spell checking window, you can choose from Hunspell or Microsoft Word. There are two ways to check spelling in memoQ: continuous spell checking will underline unrecognized words as you type or the Spell checking window where you can go through any unrecognized words one by one. If you choose a language that has sublanguages (for example, English can be English (US), English (UK), etc.), the list of available dictionaries shows up in the window's bottom half.

Under Language-dependent settings, choose a language from the dropdown.

Under Category, click Spelling and grammar.

Open the Options window: At the very top of the memoQ window - in the Quick Access toolbar -, click the Options (cogwheels) icon.

To change the way Word checks spelling, open the Options window in Microsoft Word, click the Proofing category, and change those settings as needed. Microsoft Word is using its own options in memoQ. If Microsoft Word is on your computer, and it supports grammar checking for your target language, memoQ can also check the grammar of your translation. If Word is not on the computer, or it does not have a spell checker for the language you need, you can set up Hunspell for that language. If Microsoft Word is there on your computer, memoQ can use Word's spell checkers. You can do this on the Spelling and grammar pane of the Options window. To use spell checking in memoQ, you need to set up the spell checker for each target language you work with.
