that's because it currently only has an english dictionary
yep that's why i suggested that it should use the internal iphone dict - which is always in the language the user uses.
Have you seen the dictionary files. They are set up completely deferently then the iPhone's native dictionaries. I created a Dutch version of the dictionary files.
I totally agree that something needs to be done about the dictionaries. The word lists you are packaging at /var/mobile/Library/Wynd/Swype
are absolutely awful, and they contain many bizarre words that will never be used by anybody. To prove my point, here's a short list of words extracted from dictionary-2-8.txt
:
chumawi, chytroi, coenuri, colleri, colossi, coracii, cosmati, crocuci, cypseli, cabiri, calami, canari, canchi, cancri, canthi, caribi, cariri, caroli, cauqui, cestoi, chandi, chatti, chichi, chilli, chorai, chorti, cimbri, clypei, coloni, congii, cuculi, cumuli, curari, cacti, campi
Seriously, the only words anyone would ever use (or recognize!) on that list are chilli
and cacti
.
So firstly, please let's source a more appropriate dictionary. It will not only provide a better user experience, but will also speed up the matching algorithm a lot.
Secondly, it would be great to handle the dynamic word list at /private/var/mobile/Library/Keyboard/dynamic-text.dat
. This contains all of the user's personal spelling corrections, and we should provide a way to add words to this list via iSwipe.
It would also be useful to import contact names from /private/var/mobile/Library/AddressBook/AddressBook.sqlitedb
, and I would like to see a word list for the books of the Bible.
Why not just use the internal iphone word list?
if you know where it lives, that would be a good idea too.

Great tool but in uses always an english dictionary. It should use the iphone internal language bases dictionary.
