Change Dictionary Preferences

[Ribnog]

Hi,

I spent all my day trying to realize how I change this options in Indesign using a script... even editing other codes that I found on the forum, but nothing happens... I can't take anymore!

Need to change the Language to any other, in my case "Portuguese", and the Hyphenation/Spelling to "Hunspell".

Any help please?

Nobody?

Hi, bonjour,

Bonjour j'ai trouvé ce lien à voir : https://indesignsecrets.com/script-for-setting-indesign-preferences.php

delà, j'ai trouvé ce bout de code sur le site : InDesign Scripts by Keith Gilbert

myDoc.textDefaults.appliedLanguage = "English: USA";
        app.languagesWithVendors.itemByName('English: USA').addDictionaryPath(File('~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Linguistics/UserDictionaries/Adobe Custom Dictionary/en_US'));
        var fullPathOfUDC = "Macintosh HD:Users:keithgilbert:Dropbox:Templates:keith_indesign_dictionary.udc";                
        if (File(fullPathOfUDC).exists) {  
            var languages = app.languagesWithVendors.everyItem().getElements();    
            for (var n=0; n<languages.length; n++) {  
                if (languages.name == app.translateKeyString("$ID/English: USA")) {
                    var result = languages.addDictionaryPath(fullPathOfUDC);  
                    languages.hyphenationVendor = "Hunspell";
                    languages.spellingVendor = "Hunspell";
                    // languages.doubleQuotes = ;
                    // languages.singleQuotes = ;
                }
            }
        } 
        myDoc.dictionaryPreferences.composition = ComposeUsing.BOTH;
        myDoc.dictionaryPreferences.mergeUserDictionary = false;
        myDoc.dictionaryPreferences.recomposeWhenChanged = true;

Si ça peut aidé, Bonne soiré à vous tous

Yes.. I aprecciate your help, is justly that code that I am trying to addapt but with no success.. I don't understand the "fullPathOfUDC" thing, because I only want to change the "Language" and "Hyphenation/Spelling", if is not Portuguese and Hunspell change for it, but not to add a new dictionary.

If someone could edit these lines of code to achieve what I want I'll be very grateful.

Thank you Liphou.
