Download Dictionaries for CSS HTML Validator

If you're using an edition and version of CSS HTML Validator that supports spell checking, then you may want to download additional dictionaries.

To install a new dictionary, please follow these steps:

• Download the dictionary that you want to add.
• Close CSS HTML Validator if running.
• Extract the dictionary (the dictionary has an adm or adu extension) to HTML Validator's dictionary folder. This is usually one of the following folders, but it depends on the version and edition that you're using and whether you're using a 32-bit or 64-bit OS (the vast majority of OS's are 64-bit these days):
  • C:\Program Files\HTMLValidator240\Dictionary (2024/v24 with 64-bit OS)
  • C:\Program Files\HTMLValidator230\Dictionary (2023/v23 with 64-bit OS)
  • C:\Program Files\HTMLValidator210\Dictionary (2021/v21 with 64-bit OS)
• Open (run) CSS HTML Validator.
• Choose Options > Editor Options (Ctrl+F3), go to the Editor > Spell Checking page, and then press the More Spelling Options button.
• Choose the Language tab. The dictionary that you added should now be listed in the Additional dictionaries box. Select all the dictionaries that you want to use and unselect those that you don't want to use. For example, if you want to use the English (British) dictionary, then select that dictionary and unselect any other English dictionaries.
