Dear Xbench Team,

I am using Xbench 3.0 (Build 1593 64-bit Edition) and I can see that in the C:\Program Files\ApSIC\Xbench folder, I have all the spell checkers for all languages installed, but I cannot use them or they don’t show up. I also downloaded three additional spell checkers from this link ([ApSIC Tools Weblog » ApSIC Xbench Instant Spell-checking now available for 33 languages](https://www.apsic.com/blog/?p=20)) and followed all the steps, but they still don’t appear. Could you please let me know which steps I should follow to install and use them? I would like to use the Spanish, German, and English spell checkers.

Also, the dictionaries cannot be downloaded from Tools\> Spell-Checkking Dictionaries… When selcting one language and clicking on install I receive this error message “Error downloading the selected component.”

Best regards,  
Miguel

Please contact [Support](https://www.xbench.net/index.php/support/submit-bug) to try to troubleshoot why you cannot download dictionaries via Tools-\>Spell-checking dictionaries.

The link in the blog is for Xbench 2.9. These dictionaries from the blog post are not compatible with Xbench 3.0 64-bit edition (not even visible), and I believe they do not work either with Xbench 3.0 32-bit edition
