Download Install Compare

The German Dictionary (de_CH) extension offers a Hunspell-based spell-checking solution optimized for Swiss German users of Firefox 3+, Thunderbird 3+, Seamonkey 2+, and newer versions. It supports the "new" Swiss German orthography and improves spelling accuracy and consistency when composing texts in supported Mozilla applications. This dictionary is tailored specifically for Switzerlands' language nuances.

Designed as the Hunspell version of the igerman98 dictionary, it is only compatible with recent Mozilla applications due to Hunspell/Myspell incompatibilities. For users on legacy versions or having installation difficulties, helpful guidance and resources are provided. Users of Thunderbird 65 and onward should use WebExtension dictionaries available via official Mozilla add-ons. This extension is ideal for Swiss German speakers seeking reliable spell checking within Mozilla software environments.
