    Hi Nick

     

    appliedLanguage:{name:"Hebrew", singleQuotes:"‘’", doubleQuotes:"“”", hyphenationVendor:"WinSoft Extended", spellingVendor:"", thesaurusVendor:"", dictionaryPaths:["C:\Users\Trevor\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\InDesign\Vers ion 7.0-ME\en_GB\Dictionaries\MindSpell\he.udc"], icuLocaleName:"he_IL", spellingVendorList:["0x11a500kMSLHunSpellServiceName"], hyphenationVendorList:["WinSoft Extended"], label:""}

     

    Is an example of the properties of a selection of a file on my (windows) computer so I think you would want something like

    app.languagesWithVendors[c].dictionaryPaths=["C:\Users\Trevor\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\InDesign\Version 7.0-ME\en_GB\Dictionaries\MindSpell\he.udc"]

     

    But if you type the above line as written it wont work for obvious reasons

     

    Run this script for some help

     

    for (c=0; c<app.languagesWithVendors.length;c++)
 {
try {$.writeln(c+") "+app.languagesWithVendors[c].name+" "+app.languagesWithVendors[c].dictionaryPaths)}
catch (d) {$.writeln(c+"] "+app.languagesWithVendors[c].name+" "+d)}
}

     

    you might have to use the addDictionaryPath() command see http://jongware.mit.edu/iccs6js_html/iccs6js/pc_LanguageWithVendors.ht ml

     

    Please reply with what worked

     

    Trevor
