I am new to Mac, but this is what I have learned so far per forums and working with Apple Support. I'm having a hard time believing something that works flawlessly on Windows is not working natively on an internationally supported Mac.
Apparently, when one types in a word, does a right click, and says "learn spelling", it puts the word in the ~/Library/Spelling/LocalDictionary file...this is working fine.
However, what I am finding it that when I "learn" a word with a diacritic character in it - for example - deoraíocht, the word will appear in the LocalDictionary file, but will not be presented to me as an option if I were to type: deoraiocht, or anything close to it. Any word learned without the diacritic character works fine...
Apple Support pointed me to System Pref/Keyboard/Text - to use the replace function. This is a work around to a bug, not a solution...a solution that I would think would be a wide spread problem considering outside of the US, most languages use diacritic characters.
I am using the automatic language function, although I attempted to force it to numerous languages, having no better results. The words I am using in particular are all Irish, or Scottish Gaelic, of which I did not see a language pack available.
Any ideas?
