Selecting Dictionaries

The spellchecking dictionary NanoSpell used by CKEditor can be set using the nanospell_dictionary setting which 'en' by default. (Global English).

Example:

<script src="path/to/nanospell/autoload.js"></script>
<textarea id='editor1'>...</textarea>				
<script>CKEDITOR.replace( 'editor1');</script>

<script>
 nanospell.ckeditor('editor1',{
    dictionary : "es",  // "es" is for spanish  
    server : "php" }); 
</script>

For multi-lingual documents, you may use more than one dictionary at the same time use a comma separated list such as:

 dictionary: "en,fr"
