You can choose to use Microsoft Word as a spell checker in SDL Trados Studio. The spell checker can only be used if Word is installed. You may want to use Word as a spell checker instead of the default Hunspell spell checker installed with Studio if, for example, the Word dictionary might contain standard company names and technical terms that you want to use.
Using Microsoft Word you can:
Add to terms during translation in Studio to the default custom dictionary in Word. If you want to select different dictionaries or make further modifications to a dictionary, you must do so in Word and not Studio.
Use the Ignore All list in Studio.
Logographical languages that use a symbol to represent a whole word, or languages that do not use a delimiter character (like a space) to separate words in a sentence, are not supported when using Microsoft Word spell checker in Studio. These include the following languages and any language variants: Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese and Thai. If your translated text for these languages contains any single-byte words (English words), those words will also not be spell checked in Studio.
The other languages supported by the Word spell checker will vary depending on your Word setup. Refer to the Word Help for more details.
