You could, of course, do all of this yourself if you’re familiar with the command line or even using a decent text editor, but why reinvent the wheel?Īs I mentioned earlier, this dictionary does not provide autosuggestions in Trados. To figure out the number of lines, I simply used the Unix command wc -l (which comes with macOS by default) to calculate the number of lines and then added it to the top of the file. Trados expects the first line to contain the total number of entries. If you’re curious about the difference between the “normal” dictionary file format and the one used by Trados, it’s actually quite simple. If you want to install the spellchecker in Word, just follow these instructions: I’m not entirely sure why you would need a medical dictionary in Internet Explorer, but I suppose it could be useful if you use cloud-based CAT tools or a web-based e-mail client in Internet Explorer. You’ll have to install the dictionary for Word and Internet Explorer separately. Installation on Windows is a tad bit more complicated because Windows doesn’t seem to have a system-wide dictionary like macOS.

I’m still trying to figure out how to use it with OmegaT because I’m aiming to move away from SDL Trados. Of course, this only works for software that uses the system-wide macOS dictionary, so it won’t work in OmegaT out of the box, for example. The authors of this dictionary have created an installer package, so all you have to do is download Install Package and double-click it to run it.

Installation on macOS (or Mac OS X, as it was known until recently) is quite simple. Today I finally had some time to catch my breath and figure out how this spellcheck dictionary works. As I was in the middle of some big translation assignments, I didn’t have the time to properly figure out how to install the spellcheck dictionary on my Mac or in SDL Trados, which is currently my default CAT tool, despite the many drawbacks. About a week or so ago, I discovered a free medical spellchecker on GitHub.
