CafeTran can use OpenOffice (LibreOffice) writing aids in its interface. It uses the installed OpenOffice dictionaries and underlines any misspelled words in the target language window. For instance, if you set "en-US" as a target-language in the project, the spell check function will use the American-English dictionary out of the OpenOffice available dictionaries.
Connect to the OpenOffice as described in the previous section.
The language of the spell-checker and thesaurus is chosen based on the target language of the project.
The mispelled words are underlined in the target language window.
Click with the right mouse button on a misspelled word to list alternatives for replacement. The keyboard shortcut for this action is CTRL+ALT+Space.
Automatic correction switches on when holding the CTRL key and pressing the Space key. Then, the misspelled word will be replaced with the alternative. If there are more alternatives, keep pressing CTRL+Space to choose the best.
The OpenOffice thesaurus is accessed similar to the spell checker. Hold the CTRL key while clicking with the right mouse button on a word. The list of meanings and their synonyms for the word will pop up to check or replace. The keyboard shortcut for this action is CTRL+SHIFT+Space.
