A SIMPLE STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE

As you may know—all too well—Apple’s Mac OS X doesn’t offer native support for Romanian spell checking. Quite an embarrassment.

However, it is possible to install a Romanian spell-check dictionary (with diacritics and all)—in three fairly easy steps—available to all applications using system spell-checking services, like Mail, Pages, Keynote, Safari, iChat etc.1

Here is how to add system-wide Romanian spell-check dictionary to Mac OS X—a simple step-by-step guide.

Step 1. Install Aspell and cocoAspell

Aspell is a Free and Open Source spell checker, cocoAspell is a Mac OS X system services interface for Aspell.

Action: Go to cocoAspell homepage and download the installer—currently at version 2.1. The package will install Aspell and a Spelling preference panel to control cocoAspell.

Outcome: If all goes well a Spelling preference panel will appear in System Preferences.

Step 2. Install the Romanian dictionary

We have the engine, now we need a compatible Romanian spell-check dictionary—say hello to Aspell Romanian Dictionary Package.

Action: Open the Official Aspell Dictionaries FTP directory, scroll to “Română” and get aspell5-ro-3.3-2.tar.bz2. Expand it an move the resulting aspell5-ro-3.3-2 folder to ~/Library/Application Support/cocoAspell/.

If this sounds frightening, let me do it for you—just open a Terminal window and paste the following instructions one at a time:

Outcome: Opening the System Preferences → Spelling panel will require Aspell to compile the dictionary. You should get the following message:

And then:

Consequently, Romanian should appear in the Spelling panel’s dictionaries list—and you need to enable it:

Step 3. Use the Romanian spell checker in applications

In order to use the newly installed dictionary, you need to select it in your spelling preferences.

Action: In you application of choice select from the menu bar: Edit → Spelling → Show Spelling and Grammar:

In Pages, select from the menu bar: View → Show inspector → Text → Language → Română:

Outcome: After selecting the Romanian dictionary, the spelling engine should switch to Romanian.
