ZCS 8.7 comes with dictionaries preinstalled for many languages.  ZCS versions 5.0 and earlier only have English installed.  To see the list of installed languages, run
/opt/zimbra/common/bin/aspell dump dicts


* Download the dictionary from [ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/dict gnu.org]
If you do not see your language in the list, follow the instructions below.
* Extract it from the tar file in a work directory
* Set Zimbra's aspell in the path with:
::<tt>PATH=/opt/zimbra/aspell-0.60.3/bin:$PATH</tt>
* Configure and install the dictionary according to the README
<tt>
::./configure
::make
::make install
</tt>


* Edit the file /opt/zimbra/httpd/htdocs/aspell.php to reference the new dictionary.  For example to add the french dictionary:

* Extract it from the tar file in a temporary directory.

* Set PATH to the binary directory of Zimbra:

* Configure and install the dictionary according to the README:

<b>NOTE:</b> If you are using a non-english based language with special chars like tildes (spanish, for example), you have to modify aspell.php
 
This file is located at /opt/zimbra/httpd/htdocs/aspell.php. Replace this block (line 82 or so)
 
<pre><nowiki>
$suggestions = implode(",", pspell_suggest($dictionary, $word));
$misspelled .= "$word:$suggestions\n";
</nowiki></pre>
 
with this one:
<pre><nowiki>
  $suggestions = implode(",", pspell_suggest($dictionary, $word));
$suggestions=iconv("iso-8859-1","UTF-8",$suggestions);
$misspelled .= "$word:$suggestions\n";
</nowiki></pre>
 
There is also a problem when splitting words. Replace (line 48 or so)
<pre><nowiki>
$words = preg_split('/[^\w\'-]+/', $text);
</nowiki></pre>


with this one:
./configure
<pre><nowiki>
make
$words = preg_split('/[^\w\'-\xc0-\xfd-]+/', $text);
make install
</nowiki></pre>


This regexp line should be enough for most western Europe languages (Spanish, French, German, Portuguese and Italian). It includes all ISO8859 europeean letters in the range 192-253 of the table below.
