Spelling correction on kile

For those who don’t have KDE installed on Ubuntu, having the spelling correction on kile (one of the best programs to work in latex) is a big problem. The solution is to install the package aspell, and manually force the applications of KDE to use this package for the corrections.

Therefore, the process is the following:

  1. install aspell-en;
  2. open the terminal and write:
    gedit ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals
  3. add this to the end of the file:
    [KSpell]
    KSpell_Client=1
    KSpell_DictFromList=1
    KSpell_Dictionary=en
    KSpell_Encoding=11
    KSpell_NoRootAffix=0
    KSpell_RunTogether=0
Update:
In order not to waste much time, the solution is simple, just do what’s indicated in line 1, and write this in the terminal:


echo -e "\n[KSpell]\nKSpell_Client=1\nKSpell_DictFromList=1\nKSpell_Dictionary=en \nKSpell_Encoding=11\nKSpell_NoRootAffix=0\nKSpell_RunTogether=0\n" tee -a ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals
