Spell Check Settings

In the Spell Check tab, select which checks to evaluate on a site, including which Dictionary language to use for Spell Check.

The Compound Word Split Limit (words with hyphens or underscores) setting allows you to control the minimum length of a compound word before it is split. After splitting, each piece of the hyphenated word is treated as an individual word against the applied dictionary.

The default setting of 20 determines the minimum length of a compound word before it is split. For example, a limit of 20 will allow for words such as 'hyphenated-word'(15 characters), but setting the limit to 10 will result in 'hyphenated-word' being split into 'hyphenated' and 'word'.

The Dictionary option is initially set to Inherit from Account. Choose a different language to update the Dictionary for the specific Site. DubBot's default settings allow up to 2 languages to be selected.
