Here we shall discuss Ring-Writer dictionaries. Please give us your
comments and suggestions. You may also refer to the full background
information in the attached "development note" on dictionaries. It is also
posted in the News - White Papers section.

Here is a summary of where we are at the moment with Ring-Writer dictionaries:

- We want to improve and extend the base dictionaries. The current dictionaries are Danish, English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Swedish. The English word list is good, and French and German are not too bad. Please send us the words that you think should be added to your dictionary, at team@ring-writer.com, using as Subject the name of your language, and we’ll include your additions in the Version 2 product.

- If anyone wants to offer us a new language word list (free of strings of course), with the words ordered according to frequency, we shall include it in an intermediate release of the V1 Pilot Product, and receive
additions from other users.

- We can create Ring-Writer dictionaries of any size that we want, simply by cutting off the list at the appropriate point. A dictionary of 25,000 words includes most words that one is likely to use in writing emails and SMS messages.

- Starting with a smaller dictionary (3000-5000 words) would reduce the memory requirements of the loaded dictionary. The user will spend more time adding words, but this should not be excessively inconvenient. Using small dictionaries will also allow several dictionaries active at the same time.

- In Version 2, we may offer the user another alternative. The user would start with the large dictionary, and then after a reasonable period of use instruct Ring-Writer to build a customized dictionary by simply throwing away all the words that the user never wrote.

I'm trying to activate the Italian dictionary on my 7710, but the only command starting with "i" is "Italic", which is not what i'me expecting reading the PDF manual.
What should i do to activate the italian dictionary?

Responding to your comments about using Italian on Ring-Writer, we now have an Italian dictionary for use on a "no guarantees" basis. We hope that you find it useful and that it allows you to express yourself in your native language!

Please go to the download page at http://www.ring-writer.com/web/en/download.html to get the v.1.1.1 of the software.

Please let us know how it works for you and if you have any other suggestions.

We spent a lot of time getting the English, French, and German dictionaries to a good level of quality for the pilot release. Because we've been developing and testing new versions of the software, we didn't have the opportunity to create other dictionaries sooner, but more language dictionaries will be released this month!
