On Windows, WinEdt is a great program for editing latex file, but in my opinion the procedure to install new dictionaries is quite poor. In this post I'm gonna fix this in 10 easy steps! This procedure applies to WinEdt 5.x but probably it works for 6.x too. Download the dictionary for the language you are interested in (for example German) from the website http://www.winedt.org/Dict/ Unzip your file: You will see two files with extensions .txt and .dic . The most important is the second one. Locate within your WinEdt installation folder the subfolder " dict " .Usually it should be somewhere like: C:\Programs\WinEdt\dict Inside "dict" create another folder named after the language you want to install, in my case German.

This utility comes free of charge (however you can always donate!) but you have to know that the default installation installs also f*cking toolbar in your browsers and I hate toolbars! Solution? Just tell the installer you are not interested by unchecking the proper checkbox.   Another short no...
