Spanish autocorrection dictionary for the iPhone

October 16th, 2007 by Daniel Vecino

UPDATE: Check the new Spanish autocorrection method.

Reading EsferaiPhone we find a new method to change autocorrection dictionary from English to Spanish.

Just follow this steps.

  • Download the spanish autocorrection zip file
  • Unzip it and you will find three new files that we have to replace in our iPhone
    english-stems.dat
    english-unigrams.dat
    english-unigrams.idx
  • Access to iPhone File System using iBrick or SSH
  • Download to your PC the original files that you will find at /System/Library/Frameworks/UIKit.framework
    english-stems.dat
    english-unigrams.dat
    english-unigrams.idx
  • Upload the new unzip files at the same path
  • Reload iPhone pressing and holding the upper button for a few seconds
  • If you disabled the autocorrection, activate it.
  • Test it!

We have just tested it, and it fails with some words… “we” instead “se”… and others are not translated. But, of course, it is a first great step!
