Telerik Spell: add multilingual capabilities to ASP.NET

Telerik spell
The component is completely customizable and can be attached to any server/client editable element (textbox, div, iframe). It currently supports 18 languages with custom dictionaries for every language.

Support for Internet Explorer for Mac
rad spell V 1.3 now fully support Internet Explorer for Macintosh.

Ignoring inline scripts and style definitions
r.a.d. spell now automatically ignores inline sript tags (<script></script>) and style definitions (<style></style>) in the HTML code. Since those tags are not used for storin text, they are not processed in order to avoid false spelling error reports.

Support for Microsoft Word dictionaries
rad spell V 1.1 has been enhanced significantly and now can support the dictionaries of Microsoft Word XP and 2003 (Word must be installed on the server). This gives end-users even greater convenience due to the richer set of dictionaries.

CSS-Based Skinning
Developers can now change completely the appearance of r.a.d. spell dialogs by modifying the supplied CSS stylesheet and images. Three schemes are shipped with the product: default, custom and monochrome.

Spellcheck any server- or client-side control
rad spell is a standalone component which can be attached to any editable control, like textarea, div, iframe, or WYSIWYG editor (r.a.d.editor). All you have to do is place the r.a.d. spell tag on your page and set its ControlToCheck property to the ID of your editable element.

Supports multiple languages
rad spell is a multilingual spellchecker, which allows users to select one of the installed languages from a drop-down. All dictionaries are located on the server so no time-consuming downloads are required.

List of all supported languages
Afrikaans - South Africa, Bulgarian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English (US), English (UK), French, German (Germany), German (Switzerland), Italian, Polish, Portuguese (Portugal), Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Spanish (Spain), Swedish, Ukrainian.

Custom dictionary for every language
When the "Add to custom dictionary" option is enabled, the end-user can place unknown words to a custom dictionary, which will be automatically created for the respective language. The custom dictionaries are in ".txt" format and can be easily edited when needed.

Add subject-specific dictionaries (i.e. medical)
Besides the provided default language dictionaries, you can easily create a new or specialized one (i.e. medical, technical) following the "one word per line" rule.

Easy interface localization
Just like with the r.a.d. editor, the r.a.d. spell's interface (labels, buttons, tooltips and error messages) can be easily localized, by switching a single property. You can also create a new interface language in a matter of minutes.

Complete dialog skinning/redesign
You can quickly change the appearance of the rad spell dialog using schemes. Moreover, since the source the dialogs is located in an external ascx file, you can rearrange and completely redesign it, to elegantly blend the spellchecker into the interface of your site or web-application.

Wide browser support: IE 5, NS 7.1, Mozilla 1.2
r.a.d. spell is a pure ASP.NET server control, which renders only HTML and JavaScript on the client machine. As a result, the component offers wide cross-browser compatibility and requires no plug-ins or downloads.

No-postback algorithm for superior performance
The advanced Levenstein algorithm used by rad spell is implemented so that the whole editable content is checked at once, without ant Post-Backs. This significantly improves performance and lowers the load on the server.

Options: check all caps, check words with numbers, etc.
To bring the end-user experience closer to the desktop word-processors, r.a.d. spell provides common spellchecking options like: check all caps, check words that start with a capital, check words with numbers, and check for repeated words.

Populate menus from an SQL database or using the powerful API
Seamless integration with SQL technology makes r.a.d. menu the preferred component for dynamic web-applications. Populate your menus with items directly from your database, reusing queries and cutting on updates. Alternatively, you can use the powerful set of run-time API to add, delete, disable/enable, check/uncheck items programmatically.

Integrated support by r.a.d. editor
rad spell is internally supported by the leading WYSIWYG editor - r.a.d. editor. As a result, the spellchecker can be evoked by the designated button on the editor's toolbar. Moreover, the end-user may select the spellchecking language from the convenient dropdown.
