Like alwayys ;) Hi, Brian! - Destroyed99, Jun 11, 2011

Answer 1

I don't quite see the point in having dictionaries for different countries, since we all have the exact same spelling, unlike the spelling differences of the UK and USA; there is only one orthography for all Spanish-speaking countries, and any dictionary from any country follow the same conventions. The only differences among these dictionaries -if any- are the words they have included, so the bigger the dictionary, the better, so I would download the largest file, but any should do.

Thank you, Lazzy :) I have a problem though, the dictionary add-ons don't work for Firefox 4... do you know of any other Dictionary's, Lazzy? hehe - Destroyed99, Jun 11, 2011

I forgot to tell you where I was looking, Lazzy, here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/language-tools/ - Destroyed99, Jun 11, 2011

I am sure I saw that thread a few seconds ago! haha, Hi Tommy! :) - Destroyed99, Jun 11, 2011

Can you PM me the link for those dictionaries? - Tosh, Jun 11, 2011

Umm, okayy. One moment please... - Destroyed99, Jun 11, 2011

I sent it bro - Destroyed99, Jun 11, 2011

Answer 3

Haha where are you most likely to go? Or if you have Spanish-speaking friends, where are they from? It won't be anything other than a handful of different nouns. El coche/el auto/el carro, las papas/las patatas, you know.

Or you could just decide which country has the most appealling name phonetically. Agent Tina. Agent Tina. Mexicoconut. Try to enjoy yourself.

Probably Mexico, Mousey. - Destroyed99, Jun 11, 2011

There is one just called Spanish, I want to know what everyone thinks is best for me to get. :P - Destroyed99, Jun 11, 2011

Welcome to the forum, :) - 00494d19, Jun 11, 2011

I'm so new and I already have a cute nickname, ¡qué majo! :3 - mistermouse, Jun 11, 2011

Hmm, Mousey, I gave you that name when you posted in my "A-Z Blue" game :) - Destroyed99, Jun 11, 2011

Well that's that. I highly recommend downloading the mexican one and renaming it to Spanish (Mexicoconut) - mistermouse, Jun 11, 2011

Haha, funny :P - Destroyed99, Jun 11, 2011

Lets see what some other people suggest first! :P - Destroyed99, Jun 11, 2011

Haha yes I saw, it doesn't count as a nickname until you're called as such twice. - Ah, but it should be from different people shouldn't it. OK. I will contact you as soon as anyone else calls me Mousey and it'll all be official. - mistermouse, Jun 11, 2011

Haha, nice :P - Destroyed99, Jun 11, 2011

That seems reasonable, Mousey. :-p - danrivera, Jun 11, 2011

Lol, ok, that is funny :P - Destroyed99, Jun 11, 2011

That does seem reasonable, Mister. - Tosh, Jun 11, 2011

:roll: :/ Tommy, you ruined it! Mousey...:) lol - Destroyed99, Jun 11, 2011

Sorry, I should have said, that does seem reasonable, Mrs. - Tosh, Jun 11, 2011

:mad: Tommy!!! - Destroyed99, Jun 11, 2011

Answer 4

The Mexico one didn't work, so I removed it.

The one that just says "Spanish" works.

However... it only seems to use one dictionary at a time.

For a test, I can type "nosotros" here. It puts the red line under it.

Right-click on it, and you can change the dictionary to Spanish... then all the English words are underlined.

I was kinda hoping it would check everything, all the time.

I was wondering where you were! haha, now I know - Destroyed99, Jun 11, 2011

Tell me if the same happens for you. - Tosh, Jun 11, 2011

Hmm, that sounds a bit strange now... :/ - Destroyed99, Jun 11, 2011

1 sec - Destroyed99, Jun 11, 2011

Hmm, it wont let me download it .... :/ Oh no! - Destroyed99, Jun 11, 2011

I have version 4.0.1 of Firefox. It installed then I restarted. You tried the Venezuela one? - Tosh, Jun 11, 2011

It works... just not at the same as the English dictionary. - Tosh, Jun 11, 2011

Yup, I tried them all, none of them will even install!!! :O - Destroyed99, Jun 11, 2011

Strange... user error? ;) - Tosh, Jun 11, 2011

Hmm, I have run out of internet quota, I guess you guys don't have that though. :P haha - Destroyed99, Jun 11, 2011

Answer 5

Oh yippee!

It works!

I just downloaded the biggest one like Lazzy said to

Thanks!

Answer 6

Oh, great.

So I go to try download the Mexico one like Tommy said, but just before I do I check it out and it is not for Firefox 4

Oh, crap. I have 4, too. - Tosh, Jun 11, 2011

I have to check it out, I pm'd you - Destroyed99, Jun 11, 2011

Answer 7

Anyone know? If not, then can I download any of them?

Answer 8
