Scope

The test performance of the Duden solution for the German language reflects the current state of linguistic possibilities which are without a doubt impressive: They include a comprehensive spelling, grammar and style check for German, take five different checking styles into account (progressive, conservative, tolerant, Duden recommendation and press), and distinguish between three language versions (Germany, Switzerland and Austria). Different extension and exception dictionaries are supported for single users, user groups, departments, or whole companies. It goes without saying that the test results are in accordance with the currently applicable spelling rules.

Duden currently supports the following languages:

Operation

The Duden Corrector for onion.net applies the Duden correction software on onion.net documents. onion.net documents are structured by a set of elements and attributes, which might have been specifically configured according to project-specific requirements. A "document" in this context denotes the set of information which is processed in the progressive forms of the editor and checked-out, edited and stored as a whole, or a subset thereoff which is displayed in the same "tab". In the example illustrated, it is all the information in the tab "content".

To avoid meaningless tests (example: item numbers), the tested contents can be configured at the level of attributes and elements. Some customers may need an allocation of fees to their individual cost centers. This is supported by the assignment of documents types to individual accounts. It is also possible to configure several custom dictionaries. This can be useful, for example, when marketing information and technical descriptions use different language styles.
