I had hoped for a simple “Import Hunspell” command. The hard part was deciphering the cryptic instructions in the Adobe Help files for Adding Hunspell dictionaries. So it turns out that finding the dictionary was the easy part. (Kevin is also interested in any Hawaiian-speakers to email him with suggestions for new words to add to his dictionary. Kevin also has an extension for Firefox which can be used for gmail and other web-based services. I contacted the author of the extension, Kevin Scallen from the Indigenous Tweets project and got a link to the custom Hawaiian Hunspell dictionary he created. I was pointed to an extension for Firefox that allows spell checking for Hawaiian. However, this year I asked in the User to User forum if anyone knew of a Hunspell dictionary for Hawaiian. Even though InDesign CS6+ supports adding custom Hunspell dictionaries, I’ve never been able to find those dictionaries for Hawaiian. (It’s a dirty job, but someone has to do it.) Each year, when I teach changing the language settings for InDesign spelling checks, the students ask if there is a dictionary for Hawaiian. Once a year I go to Oahu to teach at the University of Hawaii.
