Live Writer Update – Dictionary Hack Still Working

Jimmy and Grandad at Blackpool LightsFor those of you who have implemented my dictionary hack for Windows Live Writer – you’ll need to do  it all over again with the updated beta released yesterday (12.0.1277.816).

The only difference is that the default path for Writer Dictionaries has changed to Program FilesWindows LiveWriterDictionaries

I was hoping that one of the 28 languages which Writer has been released in would be British English. I can’t find a list of the available dictionaries anywhere so I’m not 100% confident that they haven’t resolved this problem and that I’ve just been given the US version rather than the British version.

The new Windows Live unified installer seems to work really well updating both my Writer and Messenger applications. Not sure that I’m too keen on the new look of Messenger though.

  1. Hey, this Beta doesn’t include a dictionary for British English, but we do plan on including additional language dictionaries (including British English) in a future release.
    Thanks for using Writer!
    Best,
