If there are two identical words, except that one of the words have special characters. Then the word with special characters will only be suggested if it is common, in comparison to the other word. This means that words with special characters, that are not very common, will not be suggested.

Swedish keyboard dictionary no longer yields suggestions when you write “tack” and “att”. And the danish dictionary will not yield a suggestion when writing “det” or “bare”. This is only a few examples.

Note, that words that have special characters and that are used often, will still be suggested. Like the swedish word “här” will still be suggested when writing “har”.

And remember – if you don’t like a suggestion, just touch it – and it will go away. Over time, iPhone will learn what words you use and dont use.

The norwegian and danish dictionaries have a issue with the letter “Æ” which is not yet solved. I’ve added the bug to the list of known issues on each language.

Thanks to your comments I’ve improved all keyboard dictionaries and have now sent out an update. When you refresh your sources in Installer.app you will get the notification. All you need to do is to click the “update” button.

Please leave feedback at the page of your language!

Today I’ve added a new language, polish. The polish dictionary contains a lot of words (!). I had to remove some of them, otherwise the dictionary would become too slow. I think I’ve been sucessfull removing words that are not that common. Please let me know what you think.

Last, but not least I thought it would be interesting to find out how many installs I had yesterday. This is the result. Mouse over if you want to see the exact number of installs:
require_once('wp-content/flash/php-ofc-library/open_flash_chart_object.php');
open_flash_chart_object( 300, 300, 'http://'. $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] .'/wp-content/flash/20080424.php',true,'/wp-content/flash/' );
?>

Słownik zawiera 230 774 polskich słów. Każde ze słów ma przyporządkowaną wartość oznaczającą trafność. W przypadku, gdy istnieje wiele podobnych słów, iPhone zaproponuje użycie słowa z najwyższą wartością ‘trafność’.

Podczas pisania iPhone automatycznie będzie uczył się nowych słów.

W przypadku pojawienia się sugerowanego słowa, którego nie chcemy użyć, należy wyłączyć je dotknięciem. Za każdym razem, gdy skorzystamy lub nie z sugestii, iPhone zapamięta nasz wybór i powiększy lub zmniejszy wartość ‘trafność’ dla danego słowa.

Firma Apple może w przyszłości udostępnić własny słownik dla języka polskiego. Do tego czasu zapraszamy do zainstalowania i korzystania z naszego słownika. Słownik jest darmowy i finansowany z reklam na tym serwisie.

Prace nad słownikiem są w toku – jeśli znalazłeś błąd, prosimy opisać go w polu komentarza po angielsku!
