Additional Dictionaries for Pages

I am looking for some sort of add-on that will expand the Language options within Pages, will run within Pages and provide spellcheck and other proofing options for Turkish.

Pages için bir spellcheck sozluğu arıyorum. Pages içinde bir Türkçe sozluk yok. O çeşit bir şey biliyormusun?

 

In the Languages tab there are 14 languages - although 4 are varients of English and Turkish is not among the choices.

I have enabled keyboard switching and have my International preferences set for Turkish in Languages and Turkey in Formats.

Curiously, even Pages itself knows a bit of Turkish when these settings are employed: the task bar will display Kalin for Bold and a few other bits of Turkish.

For XP, I had some little dot something that I simply dragged into the system folder containing dictionaries and it functioned seamlessly with all Office applications as a spell and context checker:

 

Aspell no, but solution found

Yes I found Aspell too, downloaded the program, downloaded, unzipped and installed and activated the dictionary with no success. Then I found this note on the download site:

Problem:
cocoAspell does not work with Pages. Pages ignores the language specified in the Spelling window and uses the language settings from the "More" tab in the Inspector panel. In my opinion this is a gross inconsistency with the normal user interface experience. The conclusion is that you can use cocoAspell with Pages if you are lucky to be using one of the Apple defined languages.

cocoAspell version affected: all

In the meantime I found this on a Turkish language Mac forum: Türkçe Araçlar (Turkish Tools) from ideaStrata İş Geliştirme Ofisi / info@ideastrata.com and downloaded it from:

The installation pops the dictionary right into the list and so far it is working with both Pages and this form and so I would assume mail and other programs work too.
