Windows 10: Built-in dictionary

Dear All,


I just switch from Mac to Windows and I really miss a right-click "Look Up" feature on mac where you can find a definition, for instance, anywhere while browsing or reading pdf. In Mac, I also added a foreign language dictionary, in my case the Arabic, so I can automatically see a translated definition without leaving or switching the page. Does Windows 10 have that feature? I tried to find it on the internet and I found that the old edge now I am on the New Edge based on Chromium has the feature called "show definitions in line for"under Setting-General. But unfortunately, I could not find it on the New Edge Chromium. Can anyone help: 1 how to activate features like "Look Up" if there is a similar feature on Windows 10. 2 How to activate "show definitions in line for" in the New Edge


Thank you very much

:)

 

How to view or edit the custom dictionary?

If you go to Keyboard under Settings, you can hit "reset text suggestions" to return the dictionary/suggestions to what it came pre-loaded with. I don't know of a way to more finely tune it. I would like to see the ability to create and edit a custom word
list, like the custom dictionary list as Office uses.

 

Is there a way to remove a word from the built in dictionary for Windows Phone 7?

Hi DoLLYGiRL13,



Thank you for posting on the forum.



Unfortunately there is not a way to remove a word from the built in dictionary, there is only an option to add a word to the text suggestion dictionary. Please read this article for more information:

How to add new words to the built in dictionary in Omnia 7

You can't add them directly, but there is a way within spell check. If you have several you know you want to enter, open a word doc, and type your company name in with a space behind it.Tap the name and it will have a squiggly underline. At the bottom where
the suggestions are, the first one will be your company name with a little plus in front of it. Tap that and it will be added to the dictionary.

If your company name is close enough to something that WP automatically 'fixes' it for you when you hit space, (the first item in the suggestion list is bold), don't worry, tap the replaced word, and again the first word in the suggestion list will be what
you typed originally, with a plus in front. Again hitting the word/plus will add the word.

That is a good hint for anytime WP replaces a word for you didn't want replaced. Just tap what it put in and your word will be first in the list of suggestions.

Be careful, as I know how to get things into the list...I haven't a clue how you would get a mistake out
