Presentation of COL

We don't have any change log information yet for version 15.0.5153.1001 of Microsoft Office 2013. Sometimes publishers take a little while to make this information available, so please check back in a few days to see if it has been updated.

COL (Correcteur Orthographique de Latin) is a free tool providing assistance to check the spelling of a Latin text. Available for Microsoft Word, LibreOffice, OpenOffice.org and AbiWord, it includes a dictionary of about 400,000 Latin forms (classical and medieval Latin).

To best match the different practices, COL is configurable: the user can select a particular spelling (how to represent diphthongs, vowels u and i...). It works exactly like spellcheckers of other languages: when a word is not in the dictionary, it is underlined in red.

This spellchecker is obviously not intended to be exhaustive, nor it wants to 'normalize' the spelling of Latin. It was created primarily as an aid to save time and facilitate the work of all those who need to understand Latin texts (for the transcription of manuscripts, for example), but also to fix correct Latin texts scanned and processed by OCR, usually with many faults.

In order to get in touch with our software, a good 'How To' written in Latin language can be read here. Note that the Latinists from the Vatican City are using our software since its early releases.

Important installation notes

Thank you to take into account the following points, countless installation problems which are reported to us concern the points listed below:

Determine which version of Microsoft Office is mine, especially 32-bit or 64-bit ? read the page here. This is IMPORTANT (or check the screenshot here). Be careful here, it is very common to find 32-bit versions of Microsoft Office 2010, 2013 or 2016 running on 64-bit Windows systems (Win7, Win8 & Win10). In this case you must install the 32-bit version of the Latin proofing pack.
If you install a 64-bit package instead of a 32-bit package, please uninstall the 2 64-bit programs that have been installed by the package (Latin Spellchecker and Proofing Tools - Latin from the Control Panel) before reinstalling the 32-bit package.
If Latin does not hold as the editing language in Microsoft Office and if the editing language reverts to your default language, then try to select the language isiXhosa or Xhosa instead of the Latin input: learn more about this problem here. This problem is fixed under Windows 10 as of December 2020, you just need to select the 'Lingua latina' language input in the Windows 10 keyboard settings.
It could be useful to uninstall old versions of COL from the Control Panel before installing a new one. We have seen cases where old files were not correctly replaced.

History of the program

Since version COL 2.1.x, it is possible to choose between different spelling options for Latin words. The way Latin words are written depends indeed on local habits, choices made for a particular project, or the scholar's field of study. For instance, in medieval Latin, diphtongues of classical Latin (æ, œ) are replaced with a simple « e », but sometimes they are rendered by two distinct letters (« ae », « oe »). Likewise, some conventions impose to keep the letters j and v, whereas others impose to transcribe them as, respectively, i and u. See the corresponding dialogue box here.

Since version 2.1, an hyphenator suggests how to cut the words at the end of the lines.

Mandatory: it is important that you set/create a user dictionary dedicated for Latin. Use the Microsoft Word interface to do so. Here is a snapshot of a good configuration. The WebEx demonstrations also show how to setup the user dictionary. You will have to run at the command line setLa2K.exe (or LatinConfig.exe /InstallLa /InstallLa2000) if you like to use this new version under Microsoft Office 2000. You can have a look to the messages on our dedicated forum [en] in case of trouble.
