Canadian French (fr-CA) Spell-Checking Dictionary: Availability and Manual Installation
Environment:
- eM Client version: 10.4.5674 (fcbf2a4)
- Operating system: Windows 11
Question:
I use eM Client for bilingual correspondence in Canadian English and Canadian French.
I have successfully downloaded and installed the English (Canada) dictionary (en-CA). However, French (Canada), or fr-CA, is not listed among the available dictionaries. Only French (France), or fr-FR, is available.
I understand that eM Client uses Hunspell dictionaries (.aff and .dic files), with user-downloaded dictionaries stored in %AppData%\eM Client\Dictionaries .
Could you please clarify:
- Availability: Is an official Canadian French (fr-CA) dictionary available, or are there plans to add one?
- Manual installation: Does eM Client 10.4 support manually adding a Canadian French Hunspell dictionary to the user dictionary folder?
- Dictionary source: If manual installation is supported, can you recommend a reliable source for compatible fr-CA dictionary files?
- Language recognition: Would a manually installed fr-CA dictionary appear as a separate selectable language in eM Client’s spell-checking settings?
My preference is to add Canadian French while retaining the existing French (France) and English (Canada) dictionaries.
Thank you for your assistance.
